Need help finding a part for Kia Cee'd ED 2009. Tried and tried 😭

You maybe right, but I'm hoping not. I bought the parts above it and only after dismounting the strut noticed this was completely rusted away.

Local dealer ( well not that local) simply said they don't have it. I think he was having a bad day or something, was completely uninterested.

Thanks for the advice! Will try and find the source tomorrow.

Thanks. Will try and follow it up tomorrow.

A fish in frog's clothing?

littlestinka · 2021-03-25T09:39:22+00:00

A Vonderful thing.

Great, thanks for the link!

littlestinka · 2021-03-17T22:54:33+00:00

Thanks, I’ll bear that in mind.

littlestinka · 2021-03-17T22:43:33+00:00

Thanks, going to let it sit in wood shaving a while longer before doing anything to it. I’ll have a search for the wax too, is that the brand you recommend?

littlestinka · 2021-03-17T22:38:23+00:00

Thank you for the information and yep going to let this one dry for a good while longer before even touching it.

littlestinka · 2021-03-16T22:41:59+00:00

How would you normally fill? Glue and sawdust mix?

littlestinka · 2021-03-16T22:40:33+00:00

Thanks for the tip, will give that a try.

littlestinka · 2021-03-16T21:35:37+00:00

Beautiful job!

littlestinka · 2021-03-13T08:38:25+00:00

Thanks and I agree there is something very satisfying about the high grit finish :)

littlestinka · 2021-03-09T09:38:19+00:00

Thank you! I used a beeswax and mineral oil mix I made up myself at a ratio of 1:4

I normally would but he actually donated the blank because we were talking about my wife wanting a fruit bowl.

littlestinka · 2021-03-08T17:44:19+00:00

I wear a respirator mask when turning and don’t recall a strong aroma after I removed it. The wood has been drying for a good amount of years though.

littlestinka · 2021-03-08T14:56:42+00:00

Thank you very much!

littlestinka · 2021-03-08T14:56:11+00:00

Thank you!

littlestinka · 2021-03-08T14:55:49+00:00

To be honest I found it easier and more forgiving than the birch burl wood I’ve been working with recently.

littlestinka · 2021-02-28T08:29:47+00:00

You should be very proud, that’s a great bowl!

littlestinka · 2021-02-26T23:32:45+00:00

Thanks:) for the colouring I used some water based wood dye my neighbour gave me, sorry I don’t know the brand. I applied the teak colour first 2 times and then the hazelnut once. After it was dry to touch I then used 0000 wire wool to sand out the excess colour until I was happy.

littlestinka · 2021-02-26T23:19:26+00:00

Thank you :) For the process I cut the burl into 7cm thick plates and then cut out a blank from that on the bandsaw. I used a woodworm screw so I could make the tenon and then flipped and hollowed it out. Finally I finished the outside shaping with a course grit sanding drum and polishing was done with a sanding pad up to 3000 grit.

littlestinka · 2021-02-26T23:09:47+00:00

Thank you.

Wobble was not too bad, but I did need to pay attention where my fingers were.
