Sunday afternoon project....

Post by Gus »

Well a bit longer than that as it turned out! Been meaning to get round to this for ages.

Thought I would have a go at putting together a selection of hand finishes (apart from 5 which are factory finished) in a travel display case. Have to see if I get any orders from them now! :sweating:

Hi Gus,

A very nice collection!

I like to stock a few useful, but inexpensive mouldings which I quickly finish using woodstains, or Criag & Rose 1829 paints (mostly in matchpots) followed by a coat of wax. Only takes minutes to do!

Hi Gus

Great idea to go portable.

I plan to make covered inserts for a suitable suit case to take to customer homes, but I now wonder if a dedicated built case is a better way to go?
