porqui Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Think I'll try this one, as suggested. I must say this little side project had me giggling like a kid again when the prototype worked as planned this morning Will post pics and vids once the final product is ready ... should be this week still.decrease-friction-m5.jpg Superglue will eventually fail - epoxy is the only way to go. You could try a product called "Sticks like sh.. ". Yes that is what it is called just finish the last word.
porqui Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 To those who would like to know more about PVA on MDF I'm back home in a week and a half at present doing a job in the Namibian desert near Aussenkehr. Connectivity hardly intermittent.

Pants Boy Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Superglue will eventually fail - epoxy is the only way to go. You could try a product called "Sticks like sh.. ". Yes that is what it is called just finish the last word.Sticks like sh is no good - too elastic in the end. Tried superglue on the bushing/washer, been going strong with the whole office abusing it this morning. Like I said, it's added reinforcement for the MDF part so needs some rigidity. I'll see if it fails later, for now I need to get this thing out to market ... out of the 12 guys in my office I've already sold 30 of them

Grebel Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Hey Guys Yes, an odd request. I am busy getting things together to build a table and I would like to use mortise and tenon joints. However - double pin marking gauges start at R900. A plastic single pin costs R80. DO any of you have one in your possession that you would be prepared to let me use for the length of my project, or perhaps even donate, or let me buy ? In case you are wondering, this is what they look like. JSDFOO1876-mark-gauge-lg.jpgrosewood-gauge6-larger.jpg Hey Slowbee, How'd that table turn out?
Stretched@Birth Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Any ideas what wood this is? I'm thinking American Walnut, but the knots are throwing me a little. It was a dunnage block between bundles of Meranti delivered today.

V12man Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Has been planed, color stays the same.Interesting - I had thought it might be a bit of Sapele Mahogany given the grain, but the colour is off for that too
DJR Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Looks like Walnut to me. That "wavy" pattern near the knots are like what you see on the higher quality walnut used for gunstocks but those usually have a finer grain. Colour is also that of Walnut. Edit: 3 very different bits of Walnut I have standing around.....and need to do something about. Edited October 20, 2016 by DJR Stretched@Birth 1
