We have the following: Morso f Omga single blade Brevetti double blade ( manual pull version) The Morso and omga gather dust most of the time, they can't compete on quality with the brevetti ( but the blades need to be sharp, I do mine probably every month) The Morso is the quickest for repetitive v...

Re: Barewood mouldings

But always order more than you need, it's real wood and needs matching/binning, but is priced accordingly and always comes next day.

Re: very green person would like a little help please

Thanks robo never bothered looking at that arqadia range! £100 for 5 is a bit tasty too.

I'll look into the bainbridge range a bit more carefully too.

Re: Golf glove vitrine

Thanks for the positive comments.

The mitres are just glued, the strength comes from the glazing silicon which holds the glass in.

I'm expecting a stuffed owl in in the next couple of months so will have to upscale, probably to 20mm squared oak.

Re: Golf glove vitrine

My moulding ends up as per your excellent diagram. It starts as 13mm square and I run it through my router table with a rebating bit but using a fence, not the bearing to get the extra rebate the same as the original

It's from rosé & hollis by the way

Just made this case for a Seve Ballesteros glove

Started by routing an extra rebate into some small oak moulding then double mitred the joins

Just needs a bit of sanding and filling and then a coat of wax

I usually put a baton across the back half way along the long edge secured with mirror plates or t plates, this stops the longs from Bowing.
