Yes there was someone who built a climbing wall in their back garden. I think they might have sold it to Munich who cut it down and are using it in the 2022 Athletics Championships. :grinning:

Final bit of faff finished, a sliding shelf for the tin polishes. Will start glueing all this in place tomorrow, including the runners for the sliding shelf.

Interior done, just the exterior handles to fit and then final sand and finish.

That’s quite a difference!

Most excellent. Thank you.

Same Birthday Party Album though: must be pretty good.

Is this going to kick off the inevitable shoe shine faff thread?

Bristle type, length and density
Waxy composition
Cloth friction coefficient
Number of reps
With or without water

Untapped seam of obsessive compulsive behaviour surely?

What are you using to bring out that colour Bob?

It’s a finishing oil, a tung oil heavy Danish, diluted 50:50 with pure turps. Nothing fancy.

Once dry, I’ll polish the outside up with a carnauba/beeswax mix hard wax.

Honestly, I reckon you’d make far more money selling shoe boxes than turntable plinths.
