All the best - hope everything returns to normal soon. On the subject of heating epoxy - when using it in cool temps. I warm it by placing the containers in hot water - not boiling but close. I also place the mixed epoxy container in hot water after a thorough mix as well, to drive out all the air bubbles and improve the mixing. It is especially effective when doing small quantities
Thanks Richard. I'm in the middle of a house reno at the moment in the North Island of NZ, just spent the day roofing. Best guess is that this plus another job in the north island that has become urgent will take me till Christmas. I've been home on weekends but only getting a few hours in. Slowly making progress on building the wing table using spare builders grade spruce. I'm missing the project big time.
6m^3 of Sitka Spruce from the deep south of NZ. Cut by the miller and I into baulks ranging from 3x4" to 6x6". The majority was 6x4". The early photo you see is the front of a stack 4.5m long. 6x6" was the largest size I could manage on a home saw bench.

Awesome thanks John, that sounds like an excellent idea. I will adopt that in future :-)

Cheers for the update Max, real life can be a byatch
Yep... especially when it gets in the way of making stuff.
what were the six cubic meters you mentioned? wood you milled?
