A recycled hardwood floor ft. Quality workmanship. This installation (not by me) included 6 or 7 different sources of Vic Ash. Different sizes, widths, general condition et al. Sealed with @polycure Aquapro 2k. But check out the cutting in of these boards into the sandstone blocks. The profile gauge would have been given a working over.

#vanlife ft. #karlbarx and drool. Vincent (the name of my van - as in Vincent Van Go) was decorated overnight with some suspect bumper stickers. Culprits yet to be identified. For the Eagle eyed floories, you can spot my Australian Timber Guide - invaluable resource. c/o @australianwoodworkermagazine #vincentvango

What are you mob doing with your sawdust? We produce around 5 to 6 garbage bags full per job. The fact that we store in garbage bags makes it problematic to take to greenwaste, so it generally ends up in general waste at the tip every 4 or 5 weeks. I have tried dumping it as mulch on our front garden, but it clumps up (a bit like gypsum does to clay) and hangs around for years. I took to putting ...

What are you mob doing with your sawdust? We produce around 5 to 6 garbage bags full per job. The fact that we store in garbage bags makes it problematic to take to greenwaste, so it generally ends up in general waste at the tip every 4 or 5 weeks. I have tried dumping it as mulch on our front garden, but it clumps up (a bit like gypsum does to clay) and hangs around for years. I took to putting it through our compost but you only need a bucket full or so. After that I think the amount of carbon (sawdust) overwhelms the nitrogen (green matter). My latest attempt is to create a science experiment in our 3rd garden bed. There’s bales of straw under that topped with heavy green matter and heaps of sawdust (Radiata, Cypress, Vic Ash etc), in the coming weeks I’m gonna dump a load of horse manure on top and let it all fester for a year or so. The other garden bed is my control group dirt, top soil and compost. #composting #mulch #sawdust #karlbarx

The morning ritual, seemingly blessed by @catholicconnect and @australiananglican if you squint. Great coffee at Citi Cafe when you’re in town.

Well that was a trip. 160sqm of 130mm Grey Ironbark from @hurfordsau Secret nailed and trowel glued with @bostikaus Ultraset. These boards are as hard as a cats head, which makes them not only extremely durable but also incredibly tricky to install as any manipulation takes a lot of work. I think we discovered about 8 different ways to clamp boards up - made all the more difficult by the suction ...

These boards are as hard as a cats head, which makes them not only extremely durable but also incredibly tricky to install as any manipulation takes a lot of work. I think we discovered about 8 different ways to clamp boards up - made all the more difficult by the suction power of the troweled ultraset!!! Will eventually be sealed with @polycure Aquapro 2k water based Matt - more pics to come.
The first line of direct stick is the one that sets the ball rolling. Vic ash overlay using @soudal_australia SMX30 Plus. Select grade on a direct stick makes the clamping and weighing down so much easier
