  3. Yes it did air outside the US I do remember the program as a kid...
  4. Hi from New Zealand...
  5. Ray mate..I don't buy/use CA in tubes after you use it an put the cap back on don't lay it down it seals I used to try to keep it upright but that's almost impossible. I only use CA that comes in small plastic bottles and when I have applied the glue before replacing the top/cap I bang the base of said bottle squarely on the bench to clear the hole and then I replace the cap/top that way next time you use it it should be ready for the CA to run/drip as required. As for accelerators never had much luck but I did find some that seems ok it's a spray will check it out when I get to the workshop in a few hours, I brought it in NZ so..... Cheers Merlin...
  6. I done a couple of rough drawings of these type of brooches...if they are of use to anyone...enjoy or not.... Cat and mousePin.pdf Cat and mousePin.svg
  7. Thanks for that ...Just sorting out some thin wood at the moment it's hard to find in New Zealand...
  8. Now that is just gorgeous...I have a pattern looks the same as this but no measurements, it goes by the name "Ancient Royal Wagon". Could you tell me the size of the large wheel please so I can see if its the same or even increase the size. Clutching at straws here, only time I have seen this and I have know way of telling the size of any of it... Cheers....
  9. Yes at least twice a day is "school day" for me as well...Thanks to all my friends here at the Village School...Merlin...

  13. I never Brag...so here is a couple of things I have done lately... Problem and can't delete Sorry....Trying again... Success can't delete one failed...Bugger
  14. Bugger so the crosses can't be glossed oh well to bad never mind it is what it is... Thanks for the input so will only use BLO from now on and wait probably a week... Merlin...
  15. Thanks guys...BLO is the norm, but I have used Johnsons Baby oil sometimes That's what I used on the crosses just about to place the pics in the bragging section...
  16. So I oil most of my products I make...Then I normally polish them or buffing. I oiled an art piece and the next thought I wood clear gloss it... bugger big mistake it went all gooey like. So to save it I buffed it out/off and all good.. So my Q is can one gloss an oil piece and if so how long to leave until one does. I have a few clinging crosses I wood like to gloss... Just now had a though (hell that hurt) why not just gloss no oil...but then oil brings out the grain and such.... Cheers Merlin...
