I went on another pallet material run this week to my usual company ALGlass only to find they had done the bolt and another company called CFI Constructions were in the same location. Looking around I saw some pallets I could use and spoke to one of the Staff there, after they made a a phone call I was offered a couple of them. Its raining constantly here in Brisbane so when it took a break I returned and loaded up I put the biggest on top and the remainder in the tray. there is effectively 3 x pallets and some sheets of ply off cuts. One pallet hasd the supports screwed on so I attacked it first I got a sheet of ply 2400mm x 600mm x 12mm and three interestingly looking supports Checking the end grain I was uncertain as to just what it was but it looked neat. upon further investigation I found it was actually vinyl wrapped MDF! Rats I thought I had some exotic timber ! The ply was 1 x 2400mm x 600mm x 12mm The other sheets of ply consisted of off cuts and were :- 2 x 2060mm x 460mm x 6mm and 2 x 2060mm x 350mm x 4mm.
The actual timber yield was reasonable.
The red container is end nail and stapled pieces I cut off along with any accessible defects, so not a lot of the usual waste All I need now is a break in the weather and the timber to drop its EMC and I will set to work.
Believe it or not I have an Indian Credenza in mind!
Explanation:- An Indian credenza (or sideboard) is a handcrafted statement piece featuring traditional woodcarvings, intricate bone/mother-of-pearl inlay, or vibrant, hand-painted details. Typically made from solid woods like mango or teak, these functional works of art add global, bohemian, or rustic charm to your dining or living space.
Not sure about using Mother of Pearl inlays but we will see, and, it will only be just Common Garden Pine.
That should keep me busy and out of youtube for a while !
thanks for all the reads and comments guys. I now need to work out how I can make lots of repeat 45 deg cuts in the timber. So I am looking at some sort of indexing system to accurately duplicate lots of long 2 x 45 degs cuts in the material I know the blade depth stop will determine the depth but I am looking how to index each cut effectively has anybody done this sort of work using a saw? ... or is there another better way. Still bloody raining!
Up here they ship all the bluestone on big heavy pallets made of all hardwood. It's all 4/4 and up. Any masonry supply yards near you? They do charge a $40 deposit on them though.
And be able to sneak around and not get caught... well most of the time... that's how he got those bruises... not by falling off the back of the ute, but slow legs.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
