For anyone Down Under looking to use the American Switch Plates here is the Clipsal info Most of these are obsolete but you can still get the WSW Parts, You can check online with Clipsal Australia to see if the numbers are active. http://updates.clipsal.com/clipsalonline/Files/Brochures/A0000108.pdf

Putting up a few of the 16mm MDF panels - to be covered in Bamboo ply Using these Screw-in insert nuts It makes a good reusable screw anchor to the pine battens Using a 35mm M6 machine screw just need to fine some in brass I'll be able to run cables behind the MDF Also good to mount my slim 32" TV to the 16mm MDF Hanging the picture for now is OK. |

A few more Pix. Top Bamboo is finished. I burnt the top edge to blend in with the ceiling. Now by hand just 480 screws for the 240 odd sticks of bamboo down the bottom. Keeping the Bamboo Raw looking (not going to coat with amber shellac) to give the room a lighter contrast to the dark timber. |

I hate to mentioned it now, but if you routered the inside It looks good though, as is, just could have saved you alot of extra work. |

In regards to your screws in the bamboo.......In my hut I cover all the screw heads with Braid. I also use tan deck screws in bamboo so it blends better. http://www.bambooandthatchetc.com/index.php?cPath=686_687 Little spray glue on the braid and the bamboo makes it stick together pretty well. If you want a pic of how it looks let me know... |

Looking absolutely fantastic! I hope you don't mind, but we are using a couple of your designs along our bar coping. :) Hubby bought the same router you got, I think, and was playing around with it today, coming up a treat so far! Not too bad for a total novice. :) I was going to attempt to paint the design, but this looks so much better. Btw, where did you find your glass ball float? I've been looking at some overseas, but am a bit worried about getting it shipped for that size... breakages and such. Looking forward to seeing more of your build. Flying Martini, |

Heliconias starting to do well along the fence - lots of Cow Poo. I like working with copper. Tiki inspired spout for a back yard down pipe. I'll sand it down and later I'll add a acid wash patina finish. The wedge soldered in the bend is to silence the rain dripping from the section above. [ Edited by: TikiSpeer 2014-03-16 22:24 ] |
