Popular Post sheepers Posted January 16, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2018 yes, Scandinavian. i totally forgot to mention that the Rimu planks are the weather boards off the old house . i got them machined and thats what the facings are made of. i have a bit more Rimu framing and whatnot left from the old house and ill be making a table out of it in the near future. 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepers Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 i go hard. yes i do. i went hard and did this today. 2018-01-17_03-07-01 by sheepers, on Flickr 2018-01-17_03-06-50 by sheepers, on Flickr fuck my shoulders are fucked, this timber is over 70 years old and its as hard as a fucking rock. whats left to do in the kitchen? well, the rest of the Rimu on the 8 folding doors obviously. the stainless steel bench tops need to be made and in order for that to happen i need to draw whats needed. stainless splash back above the sink needs making as well. some kick boards still need doing and a little bit of timber in the corner of the cupboards. oh, and i need to sand and oil the island top properly. probably other tings. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yep, that old rimu will be as hard as a whore's heart. I've re-used demolition rimu before. Ended up drilling most of the nail holes cos if it was even possible to bang the nails in without them bending the wood would split to buggery. Like that dark green shelf. Looks good beside the timberwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thphantum Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 On 1/16/2018 at 17:44, sheepers said: did a bit more today. ill oil it tomorrow morning. 2018-01-16_04-54-02 by sheepers, on Flickr 2018-01-16_04-53-51 by sheepers, on Flickr I'm liking this bit in particular, the grains/colouring have lined up nicely. Worked with a real os chippie for a while, used to lay real t&g native floors the old way. He taught me that you would pick the best boards for the middle of the hallway and living rooms and use the lesser quality ones to the outside. Kinda like you have done here. Very Nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheepers Posted January 19, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2018 yea ive been making sure the boards continue across the doors where i can. today i did this. if you'd have asked me this morning if i could get all 8 doors done in a day i would have said "fuck yea, too easy". but this takes fucking ages. there is massive amounts of sanding to do all the radius edges and it just takes way longer than you think. ill finish the last two tomorrow. the dark board 3rd down from the top is interesting. without any oil on them they all looked the same but with a bit of oil it went super dark, way darker that the others. no matter. 2018-01-19_05-55-49 by sheepers, on Flickr 2018-01-19_05-55-22 by sheepers, on Flickr 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WLDRX2 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Wow ! You have dedication. To a good job. You don' want to move to Christchurch and be a sparky do you ? I could do with someone with an eye for detail and commiment to a top job. Please get your sparky to change that speaker point on the black wall to a black plate. My ocd is twitching just thinking about it. The Danish oil you are using, could I use it on a marine ply Ute deck ? It looks amazing on your rimu. Top job man your wife must be very appreciative. Wink, wink. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
