Pants Boy Posted September 9, 2016 Share Actually, I may have a line on some, erm, rather large yellow planks ... think they measured around 200mm X 200mm ... I'll go visit tomorrow. But, I'd personally go for something that contrasts with the yellowwood, like Blackwood, or stinkwood. Would prefer Imbuia, but yah well no fine I'm not going down that road.

dev null Posted September 13, 2016 Share Any of you got any advice or ideas for lumber racks? Will the steel racks systems you can buy at the hw store be good enough?

Procrates Posted September 14, 2016 Share Hi Guys Not my own build but something I will be receiving as a gift from family. Solid Minger coffee table. Now for my question: so my first child is on her way in January and I have some concerns as to the edges, any idea what to do? Filling it with a copper billet or glass or something was my first thought.

Now for my question: so my first child is on her way in January and I have some concerns as to the edges, any idea what to do? Filling it with a copper billet or glass or something was my first thought. First - confratulations Secondly - You cannot childproof EVERYTHING in your house - rather learn to teach the kids the meaning of the word NO - we managed to only lose 1 wine bottle in a rack of about 200 that is floorstanding.... after 2 kids... they KNOW they are not allowed to touch it, and now it has become a habit after 9 and 6 years respectively - this would probably have been easier to teach them by using some physical encouragement - but my wife is very against that model. My daughter did manage to pull a steel dining room chair over when she was starting to walk - clipped her mid forehead.... so needed some cosmetic work done - with luck it will be in her hairline when she is fully grown or very close to it, and my son has knocked a couple of teeth through his lower lip (twice) and those I have just put together myself. If I think about the damage we did to ourselves as kids, I think my kids are pretty injury free so far.... So - advice - childproof the things that can kill.... tall freestanding bookracks/cupboards and electrical plugs (check that the finger blocks work) - and the top of stairs need gates, pools need nets etc - other than that you should be ok if you teach them right.

Oh, and driving......my gray hair multiplies oberbloodynight! Stair gates (made it myself from cheap pine) were so easy!

V12man Posted September 14, 2016 Share ......my gray hair multipliesIt would be kind of hard for mine to multiply.... but lose what's left might be possible.... I still have to dare take my kids out on the road on their bikes.... they just have to make about 800m to the spruit and 800m back...

Pants Boy Posted September 15, 2016 Share Jis, just as I think I'm over the 'restoration' wave, I get another three dining room sets to do. Eish. Two is quick - light sanding and refinish, the other one is a complete varnish strip with color change - 8 seater Oregon set with buffet. I'm overquoting on this one though, I reckon there's going to be a surprise or two in the works ...

dev null Posted September 15, 2016 Share That is quite a find. Must be circa 1890 -1920 I think. Well used also as it seems that the blade has been jointed and sharpened quite a few times already. http://www.disstonianinstitute.com/backsawpage.html Edited September 15, 2016 by Moridin Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/160291-post-your-woodwork-here/page/90/#findComment-2968420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
