In Germany the Greens implemented a BABVVO law FOR ALL COMBUSTION VEHICLES FROM 2024! According to what has been said, this means that every combustion engine is only used for commuter trips and certified transport trips. The TEBBVO, the Federal Transport Tourism Emission Restriction Ordinance, then applies to commercial vehicles!

Looks good, well done. That may be rosewood, and it may be from Brazil, but I doubt it is dalbergia nigra, true Brazilian rosewood. Many reasons to include that it is banned by CITES as endangered and illegal for export or import and sale. . . and It looks nothing like dalbergia nigra the true brazilian rosewood. It looks more like dalbergia spruceana also known as Amazon rosewood. Full disclosure, formerly a broker of rare and exotic wood specializing in timbers used in stringed instrument construction. The majority of my wood was from Brazil and Central America. Among them was Brazilian rosewood (dalbergia nigra) for guitar construction and pernambuco also from Brazil and used in violin bows.

Hi there Jeff that's very informative thankyou, the Veneer was just chosen from a well known online shopping platform, as Brazilian Rosewood as I liked the depth of colour, and as you point out it's rarity , I was more than likely sold a wood which could be described with the same wording, Thankyou for your interesting comments, Really pleased you enjoyed the Vudeo, iv often thought of doing this video again as it's one if my very early ones, and much has improved since then

Hi, why did you go for a brush on poly varnish rather than a spray clearcoat type?
@stevesgarage1976
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Jame's , on the research i did, out of the many types of finish coats i could have used oil based poly came up the best for this type of job, then once i gave another sand down and it came up like a glass finish, you could use a spray clear coat, it's just down to personal preference really, plus i'v had no experiance with spray coat's so i was going on a safe bet

I enjoy the tutorial but you need to brush up on your varnishing skills. The first coat is always diluted by 50%, 2nd coat between sanding around 30%, 3rd coat 15% and after that dilute to allow a perfect flow. Ultimately, minimum of 10 coats. Varinsh will fail quickly if you don't dilute the first 3 coats in order to adhere to the wood. What I call a soaker coat, the first coat, if you don't do a 50 to 50 dilution, will result in blisters etc. This process is absolutely necessary.
