  0 Thread: Thoughts on a Morris Chair refurbishment
Post: RE: Thoughts on a Morris Chair refurbishment
I think I understand what you propose doing.  The problem I see is that there's not much meat left in the leg to support the joinery.  You'll have a much more solid structure if you can cut out a bloc...

Potassium dichromate is a strong oxidizer with a long history of use in tanning, paints, and pyrotechnics, among other things.  Very pretty crystals, and you can achieve results with some woods that a...

Post: RE: Looking for 20mm diameter dowels
20 mm aluminum rod can be found, at least on ebay.  You may be able to find a supplier for wooden dowels in the UK or Europe.

I've had the same problem with some First Alert/BHK detectors that were all replaced at the same time about 5 years ago.  I think they've gone through 2 or 3 clusters of false alarms, and yes, only at...
