Ed-Zulu Posted May 30, 2016 Share What are you using as undercoat on that MDF? I am trying to find an appropriate sprayable undercoat - something 2k compatible.Any primer on MDF has to be solvent based or oil based - never water based - keep to that rule and all will be fine.

Pants Boy Posted May 30, 2016 Share Ok, so for the Gauteng based guys I'm going to drop the mother of all Pallet secrets:Andre 082 257 5667 He works at Norcros, who makes tiles and cement for TAL and a few other companies. They make their own pallets to ship out (unobtainium) but most of the pallets that comes in are sold ... 50c a piece. Enquire with Andre as to availability and pick-up times etc, they are a little finicky sometimes (can only pick up on Tue and Thur, must 'book' a week in advance etc) I normally pre-pay for 100 pallets and drop two of my guys there with a set of crowbars, hammers, pliers and a trailer. They fill it with stripped planks in a day Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Grebel and Bobbo_SA 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmycool Posted May 31, 2016 Share So I figured I should start small and work my way up on this thread. Here is a little oak tray I made for my Spong no. 4 coffee grinder to catch the coffee. It used to be mounted to a table so I would just put a saucer underneath it but I mounted it on the wall the other day and so I had to get around to making the tray I had always intended to make. gummibear, eccc whippet, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eccc whippet Posted May 31, 2016 Share Very nice, give us some more shots of the coffee table please? really like thatwill do... the coffee table is made up of the off cuts from my workshop... the top is from the little off cuts from the pots plants... the legs are the piece cut out from my fishing rod stands... the stainless steel is off cuts from a balustrade... the threaded rod which holds it together are off cuts from installing cable trays... the long dark pieces are from west ridge park stadium...the old planks which people sat on for 50 years.

eccc whippet Posted May 31, 2016 Share Something else i make with the scraps...the easy part is cutting...gluing and spray painting...the time consuming part is chipping it with a chisel to give it the old rustic look.
