porqui Posted November 8, 2016 Share Is there a product to harden wood, eg, when using pine to make it more hard wearing? Nope! (You could put a layer of glass fiber over it) LOOK695 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretched@Birth Posted November 8, 2016 Share do the d/lights vent into the overhead bulkhead ....just worried RE heat build up in the timberUsing 3w LED globes, though they generate a bit of heat, it's far less than Halogen downlighters. Have had a test lamp hanging in my kitchen at home for a month now and not had issues with heat or the wood getting hot. I'd not try it with halogen's though.

LeTurbo Posted November 23, 2016 Share Here's something I'm picking up a lot recently. If you want outdoor wood to go really vrot ... I mean fall-apart-into-crumbs-vrot ... give it a coat of acrylic paint like Wall & All. It'll make a nice jacket around the wood until water gets in, as water does. Then the water can't get out again, and it's like one of those terrariums that people liked in the 80s (before most of you were born), circulating the moisture round and round ad infinitum. This shutter, in fact, probably dates from around 1912. It was painted black, then green, then white. All with turps-based enamels. it was the final coat of acrylic that caused the problems. Some other shutters on the house are new meranti - less than 10 years old, and won't last another 3 winters.

LeTurbo Posted November 23, 2016 Share I really don't know why I bother with this. Masochism. Non-profitable masochism. DJR, jimmycool, Long Wheel Base and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted November 24, 2016 Share Le TurboOne day when you want to get into heaven, mention to old St Peter that you did stuff like this. It'll be your ticket! I thought nobody did this kind of truly painstaking repairs anymore. It is so good to see. Hairy and LeTurbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dev null Posted November 25, 2016 Share So disgusted now. So SARS is owing me some large ones, and I need a cordless impact driver badly. I looked at a Makita somewhere earlier this year when I bought some other nice tools, but my money was finito so I did not buy. Price was around R5300 then. Just went to Apple, and the new price is R6700. Just 3 months later. Looks like Rutherford is raping us with sandpaper condoms dipped in acid. What other options do I have. Must be 18V brushless. And no Ryobi. I have standards... Edited November 25, 2016 by Moridin Berg Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is my whole shop is Makita, so I would likely have to start phasing that out and bringing in a new product. But what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
