    Talking What a Book

    I have just purchased "A Polishers Handbook". A finishing guide for Australian Woodworkers.
    I am in no way connected with the
    company" but would endorse this booklet for a persons interested in woodworking.
    Although it is primarily aimed at "the french polishing" people, it has a great index outlining other types of finishes/oil based receipes.
    Most of the questions asked in this forum are answered in this book.
    I picked it up for less than thirty dollars at a major retailer (Toowoomba Woodworking).

    Bruce, I think you're preaching to the choir!

    But you are correct of course!

    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Bruce, ah how can I put this.

    The bloke that wrote the book provides this website for us.

    Now you've bought his book, why not try some of his excellent other products.

    Grovelling and crawling are totally acceptable on this board. Cash is even more acceptable.

    I have tried the products, and yes they are great (products)
    A boofhead like me does all this work an it's stuffed by the finish I use.
    Neil's book explains all the tricks and I reccomend it to woodworkers.

    I don't think you'll get any arguements from the regulars around here. I think most of us have owned a copy for a while.

    Also, I failed to mention that the binding used allows one to open it up and keep flat on the work bench, all it needs now is plastic coating on the pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (it is available)

    I thought there was a ruling about advertising products on this web site, if the author cares to send a cheque I'm sure the administrators will find a place to air the book
    Can't find mine at the moment and I need to make up some Danish Oil and forgot whats in it,I know it's around here somewhere
