Lord Ferguson Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Here's a woodworkers trick... treat "green wood" with PEG.... it will last forever - I used to turn wood and it's great to seal green timber.... I could turn branches of trees "fresh sawn" - peg them and they would not split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new holland 4 ever Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 here is another tip. still to make our model farms more realistic, this is to make bales of straw or hay in this case; straw. you have to cut bits of string 5mm (the string huse in medium density square balers) and press it in a 5cm diameter tube with a round full tube of pvc or any other material, the heavier the better. then you have to put the string on by pushing the bale out a bit at a time. here are the photoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Think it's Ploy Ethelyene Glycol... or somthing like that... Craft Supplies is where I bought mine from... For the record... I was rubbish at turning... hence why I don't still do it now... there is a limit to how many table lamps you can give people for christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
