Hi everyone.
I am new to woodwork.
My main hobby has been car restoration but with passing years and moving to a retirement village that activity is a no go.
So I have reactivated my teenage hobby of old radio restoration and my first project is a Mullard 98 table model. I chose this one as it has the valve line-up I am familiar with but it comes in a nice wooden cabinet in need of TLC.
There are gaps opening up in the main case and splits showing up in the veneer on curved surfaces.
So, fellow members hope you won't mind some dumb questions as time goes by.
Regards
Rogermark

G'Day & Welcome to a top forum "Roger".
There are quite a good few members on the Central Coast with a stack members in and around Sydney, across NSW plus the rest of Australia and the world.....
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [Work In Progress] photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum......
Enjoy your woodwork......
Cheers crowie

PS - On your gaps issue, have a look at Starbond Medium Thick CA plus Accelerator...
