Class workshope mate is that in your garden. If so do your neighbours ever say anything about noise. Im setting garage as workshop and just gotta put insulation in roof to help more with noise. Nice work
Great vid as allways👍 had problems with graining too since the cold weather set in,,space heater and Misty coats could be the answer,,no pressure but still waiting on vid on how to make those racks,,keep up the good work👌
Hi Ryan, Working my way through your videos & they're brilliant mate 👍🏻 Little question about spraying the wickes silk, how much do you thin? Opened it today and it a pretty thick consistency 😮
Hello! That's fantastic! Thank you for watching and the great comment! I never think my paint. As long as you are using an airless sprayer, you should be able to spray without thinning. I've never thinned paint before in the 10 years I've been spraying 😊👍 Oh just make sure you give the paint a stir and that's it! Cheers ryan
Love your videos mate. Just on the farrow and ball paints, we use the 6 year exterior eggshell instead of estate eggshell (interior), we can work on it within the hour and can be wrapped up for delivery the next day. Keep up the good work mate. 👍
Thanks for the advice👍👍 Sometimes the customer has a certain paint they want to use but ill defo keep that in mind the next time I get asked for f and b 😁😁
We nearly all the time buy johnstones but every now and then the customer want the real thing. They believe they can tell the difference between original and mixed farrow and ball colours. Im with you though on this one!!
Hi thanks for the vid. Trying my hand at spraying eggshell and just wondered what airless tip size you use for a super smooth finish like shown in your vids? im using a Graco and wondered whether eggshell will go through a 310 tip?
No probs 👍 Yes I'd use a 310 fine finish tip (green tip). These sprayers will handle eggshell with ease. There is a difference between hvlp sprayers and airless sprayers in overall finishes. Hvlp is absolutely flawless, but airless will have slight texture, still very very good and flat enough but just wanted to make you aware 😁
Hello, love the videos. 2 Quick question, would a gas heater be ok to dry paint. I have a big one, save buying a different kind. And on another video you recommended buying a router bit to take off the edge. I bought one, do you take the edge of everything, even the internal joints on draws etc?
Morning! Thank you!!! Yes I'm sure gas would be fine if not better. Yes all joints with that round over cutter, it just gives a better finish on all junctions. The only place I don't use it is where you can see it 👍
Hello mate, no never, I only use it tho as its a large amount of mixed filler and relatively cheap. You can buy ready mixed filler in big tubs which will do the same thing but more expensive 👍
Thank you, your right everyone wants there furniture before Christmas! I have been getting it in already cut up and edged the last few months and its so much faster 👍👍
Really! I generally don't have this problem, I think its the high pigment in the dark paint that stops it curing. Well thats part of the problem at least. Everytime I've had this problem its a dark colour
@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop fair enough, I have just found thats it the only system that seems fussy going over primers like otex and coverstain. My go to system is tikkurila helmi but I roll and tip. I agree darker colours are notoriously hit and miss
Hi Steven, that is what most small companies or diyers would do, or even a bigger company whose customer wanted a hand painted finish (brush marks etc). Its a bit more tricky that there is cutting in to do around hinges and hanging rails and also all the corners but its all doable. You could always lay out all your pieces on trestles and paint them with a roller. I used to do this before my airless sprayer and used to apply the paint with a 12" rag roller, then smooth it out with a 12" gloss roller ( onve id applied the paint liberally over the piece, this gave it a smoother finish)
I feel your pressure!. You guys deserve a well earned break. Do you ever suffer sagging of the mdf when standing components on end? Or is it never there long enough to worry?
Exactly, its never there long enough. Doors we laen face forward so if they do sag /bow a small bit they do the right way. Foe example the doors, its hard to sort the problem if the centre bows towards the carcass but if the centre bows outwards its generally solvable by tweaking the hinges etc .

With the quality of the work you produce, you’ll always be busy. Thanks for the video.👍
Thanks again Allan even though we are pushing hard we always aim to keep the quality as high as we would normally do. 👍👍👍

I struggle to keep track of pieces when doing just one job at a time,fair play to ye churning out that amount of work and keeping the quality up
Im used to it now, plus we name the pieces in case I get confused. Even though we are going as fast as we can we still aim on keeping the quality 👍👍👍

Farrow and ball egg shell really just doesn’t cure!! Get brewers to mix it with Johnston’s as your base and it drys within hours and costs less
We nearly all the time buy johnstones but every now and then the customer want the real thing. They believe they can tell the difference between original and mixed farrow and ball colours.
Im with you though on this one!!
Are you gluing strips onto mdf to make your shaker doors? I find it quicker to use cope and stick construction plus I can charge more for them
Glad it’s not just me that struggled with farrow and ball curing. Did you use farrow and ball undercoat?

Awesome job as always. Do you apply a top coat of clear lacquer for durability or do you find the eggshell/satin finishes strong enough on there own?
Just had the same experience with F&B estate eggshell in Hague Blue (another dark colour) - more like a week til it was anywhere near hard!

Anyyime
Your workshop looks like it’s grown, huge space
Yeah its a pretty big space now and all set up for making fitted furniture 😁😁
Now seen a few of your videos, great work mate, loving the workshop. You aspire me to reach that level of workmanship 👍
Thank you and thanks for following too😁😁
Everything is just as I like it now but its taken 8-10years to get to this point.😁
Had the same issue with that paint did you use there primer they recommend? You should try caprol paint.
Hiya pal. Have you ever had a problem using the jointing compound on your edges as shown in another video with you and your glamorous assistant?
Hello mate, no never, I only use it tho as its a large amount of mixed filler and relatively cheap. You can buy ready mixed filler in big tubs which will do the same thing but more expensive 👍
@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshopThanks for sharing your knowledge. I have learnt a lot from you.
That's no probs at all. Thanks for the nice comments 👍
Great set up , manic time of year , keep focused. Do you use edge tape on the mdf?
Cheers.
Thank you, your right everyone wants there furniture before Christmas!
I have been getting it in already cut up and edged the last few months and its so much faster 👍👍
I always have problems laying down a black
My experience of using F & B paint is that it doesn't like going over any other primers

I wasn't disagreeing with you I was just surprised about the paint and ill.keep that in mind for the future when I use it again. 😁😁
I’m planning to build a custom closet out of MDF but was thinking of assembling it and then painting it in the closet. Any problems with this? Thanks!

Had you posted this video before? I'm sure I watched this a few days a go
Haha I did by accident, I thought I messaged you back as yiu said something about the spray floor
@@thelondoncraftsmanworkshop I missed the comment but that's cool
I think youtube wouldn't let me post back as j deleted the video. I take it your in carpentry and joinery too? How's it going?

F & B takes too long to dry... use Tikkurila they do all the F&B colours I use AkviTop DS30 iy dries in an hour
What do u use to prime the MDF
My technique which is controvesal is 3 top coats, works a treat and in my opinion better than a primer. You should try it. I generally use eggshell
I’ve had a lot of problems with farrow & ball curing. Not a fan of it
Me either 🙄
