This Rustins stuff may smell awful, but I'm starting to get a nice finish with a few more coats :)

Yeah I was thinking about a two-tone paintjob like yours, I really like the whole dark colour outside then an accent inside look, but in the end I liked the look of the wood too much! The killer is waiting for the stuff to cure though, takes 3-4 days if you believe the booklet so I'm stuck doing a few coats each weekend :(

stick with it.... it looks lovely!
...prob would have given the edges a half inch round over though. looking back at mine theres a fair bit i should have done a little different. wen i pull my finger out and crack on with all the jobs i need doing 1st and finishing off a few others i WILL build another of these little beasties as i have a second PD waiting to go in. im currently in the middle of building a very old skool matrix amp rack with a 4U drawer in the bottom for a karaoke system on wheels for the bar at work. as i said lots of little bits and a few big jobs need doing before i can start another tham12 lol |

I know I should've really done a proper roundover, but I don't own a router so I'd need to find one to borrow/buy & I'd need to either countersink all the screws deeper or remove & fill them all. In the end impatience won out & I just sanded the edges a bit so hopefully they won' tbe quite as susceptible to damage as hard edges...

counter sink or... as im starting to do, wood dowels!
wood dowels hold the two edges in place while glue sets and also aids lateral strength to the but joint (and no more screws to coverup/over). a router is a pretty good investment. great for finishing and cutting perfect round holes to exact size. there are a fair few other uses too. but well worth the money. you can have a pretty good one for around the £80mark.... but its the bits you buy that make the biggest difference if you ask me. |

Tbh one of the reasons I went with screws instead of dowels was to cut down on clamps - I'm guessing with dowels you still need clamps to get enough compression?

the screws are not replaced with dowels.
with dowels, yes you still require clamps. you COULD use dowels with few screws inbetween and then wen the glue has gone off remove the screws and fill the hoes with saw dust and glue. screws serve as a mechanical fastener for local clamping where as a clamp has a greater coverage of the same area. i find owning loads of clamps is always a good idea. |
