Shellac Production In India

I found this video fascinating. I knew shellac came from beetles but i never realised how involved the extraction process was.

Hi Tony didjavagoodchristmas?
Wouldwood had this on just before Xmas, great little doco. Like you said, had an idea where it came from but this throws a whole new light on it.

Hiya Claw,
Hmm..missed WW's post somehow. Oh well, it's worth another watch :D

Chrissy was good, still on holidays and we've just offloaded the mini archer for a couple of days. :U
Now i have about a tonne of recycled hardwood to denail for my bench build :o. Better get started.
And it's about time you started a new WIP too. Slacker :;

Slave driver, just coming back up to speed slowly so I don't strain anything:;.
Hmm, I'll go look for a spare thread and start the next one.
I bet cute little Mini Archer had a great time at Chrissy, spoilt rotten is my guess:U
Ok have fun de-nailing:D
