leylandboy Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 there like wheetabix ;D what are they made of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick henton Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 The larger bales are made from 1"x1/2" strip wood then coated in PVA and rolled in some fine sawdust the smaller ones are made again out of wood 10mm square and then just painted with yellow poster paint ;) regards nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 In my opinion, the larger bales look a little too square to me but the finish you have got is very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick henton Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi Tris they do look a little square i think my next batch i will get the sander around them a little more i just wanted to see what results would come out of the experiment regards nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Oh sorry, I mean square rather than oblong.... \ Nothing hurting in making something and then putting the feelers out to gauge opinions mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmitemania Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 MMM the big bales look good enough to eat with a little milk on, I know what Tris means about the bales being square, are the sides all the same dimension? The little bales look very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick henton Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 they are good enough to eat looking at them!!!! they are all the same diementions as the siku bale i used as a template I'm going to have a look at doing them different next time not making them so square for my first attempt they ain't turned out to bad theres room for improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
