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, 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. :D Cash is even more acceptable. ;)

Craig
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 :D :D :D

As serindipity would have it, I received mine in the post yesterday. Read quite a bit already and I agree with your opinion.

I've only got one editorial suggestion: Leave the comedy to the professionals :-)

Just yanking the chain... :-)

Serendipity (and not how I mis-spelt how above) means:

<TABLE><TBODY><TR><TD>
The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.
The fact or occurrence of such discoveries.
An instance of making such a discovery.
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
This is from dictionary.com. I've always thought there was a broader meaning. For instance, coincidence of fortune. Such as in the example here where I had the book at the same time. Clearly I seem to be mistaken in that belief.
