[xodishox]

hey skold, yesterday i went down to bunnings and bought 3 rivets all the right sizes, bought some wood, it was oak hardwood but it was pretty light and I bought some sandpaper (coarse, medium, fine, extra fine) and some varnish and last but not least that putty that you said you have, the selleys one

[skold]

Yeah some oak will be a bit lighter until you carnish it with something dark

[xodishox]

Yeah street cleaner bristles are supposedly great, but I can't find any. Why do you have to use putty? Can't you use some type of other glue or somthing?
