    Default Painter's Pyramids

    Does anyone know of an Australian retailer/distributor for this product?



    I know I can get them from Rockler, Woodcraft etc, but I tend to try to support the Aussie guy with the product before buying from OS (call it my contribution to the domestic economy stimulation)
    Cheers

    I did a search of the New Inventors site using "paint" and found nothing.

    Thanks for the thought
    Cheers

    Would it be so hard to make your own out of some hardwood offcuts?
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Jeremy,
    a few off cuts with screws (or nails) driven in to a common height will work just as well. Take less time to make than ordering some and waiting for them to arrive or going somewhere to buy them.

    I could halfway swear I'd posted a thread about it, but can't find it now. Maybe it was on a different forum.

    I've used spiky gumballs from a sweetgum tree, in the same manner as painter's pyramids, for sealing both ends of a log or plank in a single session. Depending on the size of the piece, they can even work on sloping ground.

    Cheers,
    Joe

    You got that right, DJ. And I hadn't recorded it in my own index file either.

    Cheers,
