Do It Yourself (DIY) - November 2006

This is actually the second time I stained it. The first time it ended up sticky but I thought it was because I did it in cold weather. So I sanded off the coat and tried again. Please help!

Let me tell you my idea first... a room that is completely hand sculpted... the couches and chairs come out of the wall, the wall itself is cavernous and filled with shelves, lighting and outlets... a bar area or serving area that organically comes out of the floor... I've seen things similar at theme parks, just wanting to become more familiar with the materials used... some kind of plastic I’m assuming but it would be molded or carved by hand or tool on site, strong enough to be used daily. Waterproof, something you could run electrical cable or conduit through, and water pipes... thanks.

We are finishing our basement..........Right now it has the old 70s style paneling which I started ripping out. I never installed drywall before so I guess I am at the idiot stage. What is the typical way of cutting drywall? What tools am I going to need to complete this job?

Thanks a ton

Hello,
Im thinking of buying either a Proxxon or Dremmel for use with making metal crafts.

Ive seen plenty of Dremmel stuff. But someone recommended Proxxon.

Anyone know anything about Proxxon?

Whats the difference between the two makes if any?
What would be the one that would last the longest and not fall to bits? Also easy enough to get accessories etc.

Thanks

We live in Australia and have no cooling in our brick house. On a bad day the temp indoors can get to 30C. We need to look at either an evaporative or airconditioning unit for cooling and it has to be portable as we are renting. Aircon is nearly twice the price of evaporative ($700 vs $400) but is it twice as good. As a kid we had evaporative and I don't remember it as helping very much...
