How To Apply Hardwax Oil To Benchtops | Bunnings Warehouse - Duration: 2:22.
Errol: I'm going to show you how to oil a bench top.
The tools you will to do this is, a vacuum cleaner, a belt sander, some hard wax oil,
an applicator with a rag, your safety gear, and a drop sheet to protect your floors.
This Kaboodle oil is recommended for your bench top.
It comes with an applicator, but you also have the alternative of using a good quality
paintbrush to get a nice smooth finish.
I'm gonna use the paintbrush today.
The first thing you'll need to do is use your belt sander to prepare your bench top.
I'm gonna use the belt sander to get rid of any rough edges and to make it nice and smooth.
You can always use a sanding block, but with a big job like this, it's more efficient to
use a belt sander.
Because our bench top has a nice factory finish, it's important that we use the fine grade
sandpaper, just to finish it off.
If it was any rougher, then we would use a more coarse grade.
Remember, always, to sand with the grain.
The next step we do is vacuum the surface to get rid of all excess dust.
The reason we do this is when we put the wax on, we don't want any little bumps in it.
Now, I will wipe the top of the bench top to make sure that everything else is clear
and ready for waxing.
Now that your bench is ready to oil, get your drop sheets down to protect your floors.
It's always important to read your instructions on your cans because products may vary.
The reason I'm using a clear hard wax oil is to preserve the look of the timber, and
also to protect it.
The technique when oiling a bench top is long even strokes with the grain.
Allow for your drying time as per instructions on the can.
And that is how you oil a bench top, as easy as that.

How To Speak English Fluently - Duration: 3:50.
Hi guys!
Sometimes when we are learning a new language we don't think we have anything to say.
Or we do not feel confident about starting a conversation or answering questions.
I'm going to give you three suggestions on to be prepared to speak and these worked for
me when I went from only using English to in a short period of time only using another
language.
I moved to Thailand and I started working in a kitchen for an older Thai "Auntie" who
did not speak English.
It was my job to use her language to help learn how to make the food.
The first thing is make sure you have basic grammar and words for the things that interest
you.
There are so many words in every language but we use a limited number of them.
So focus on the words for the things you are going to do or the thing you are going to
study.
The second is don't be afraid of making a mistake even in front of a tough Thai chef
"Auntie".
The woman I learned from was called "Auntie Dham" and she did not smile very much.
She had a lot of food to prepare but she was willing to take me on as kind of an assistant
chef and teach me.
But everything she said to me was in rapid-fire Thai.
So I just focused on listening for the keywords in what she was telling me to do or how she
was explaining something.
I knew in time I would understand most of what she said, but in the meantime I knew
the words and I listened for the keywords.
The third thing was to not be afraid of making mistakes.
If I said something incorrectly, she or one of the other cooks would correct me and I
would make note of it.
I became a good student in terms of writing down in a notebook when I made a mistake.
I would get embarrassed a little bit and turn red in the face.
I was often red in the face because it was about 35 degrees Celsius in the kitchen but
that's OK.
I really wanted to immerse myself in a language, a culture and its food.
And so this idea of knowing the right words, listening for keywords, not being afraid to
make mistakes and then learn from them allowed me to be successful and later run my own kitchen
speaking only in Thai to the staff and running a cooking school as well.
So you can do it.
Just be prepared and study well and that way when someone says something to you in English,
your mind will not be (like) a blank piece of paper.
You'll be ready and evolve over time, knowing the words, listening for keywords and not
being afraid to make mistakes.
If it worked for me, it can work for you.
So I wish you a very good study (experience) and prepared and please follow these videos on how to speak.
They are about my 30 years of speaking experience in English and also my experiences being like
you; studying a foreign language and having to use it.

How To Speak American English Without Fear - Duration: 5:15.
I like to talk about what to do in English if you are nervous in a conversation or when
you have to talk to people you don't know.
I use the guitar as an example because I perform concerts and play with other musicians.
Some of these other musicians are much better at playing the fancy parts on the guitar than
I am.
They have been playing a lot longer and they practice more.
And it can be the same for you in English.
Maybe you are speaking with a native speaker and they speak quickly and you have to try
and keep up.
What I would tell you is learn the very basics of English.
All the words that you need to know in the areas that interest you.
And then if you are nervous, you can acknowledge it.
We all can feel shy or be nervous.
I am by nature an introvert but I try to mask it or overcome it by performing - it helps
me get out of this shell that's safe for me and experience more things and that's been
the case for singing and playing guitar and speaking.
It is all a way for me to go outside of the little box that I live in and experience more
of the world.
And by speaking and singing and playing guitar even at this basic level, I've been able to
meet people who are very kind and charitable and want to encourage me.
In a situation where you are in front of people, remember in general they are cheering you
on or rooting (supporting) for you.
They want you to succeed.
They know that English is your second language.
And so look for someone in the crowd who is going to give you a positive reaction.
Look for that smile or their eyes open, not the guy focused on his smartphone or mobile
phone.
But takes that person's interest and direct this joy you have and what you want to say
to that person.
Also breathing deeply and kind of clenching your fists and releasing them and doing that
three times helps get rid of these kind of nerves.
It's called "stage fright" where the stage is where someone performs.
Many many famous performers who perform in front of thousands or ten thousands and hundreds
of thousands of people experience this "stage fright" whether its an actor or even musicians,
many of them admit they actually get sick before the performance but when they are out
there and they hear people cheering because they want to hear their favorite song or experience
it, they get energy from the crowd and they are no longer nervous, they can go and perform
and do what they love to do.
So that is my suggestion for you - look for somebody in the audience.
You can acknowledge that you are nervous and then go on.
It also helps to greet people when you are in a situation - acknowledge people and look
them in the eye and get them on your side.
Let them know why you are there.
You are there to give a speech, you are there to introduce yourself, you are there to work
with somebody.
Let them know you are brave enough to say "Hello!"
And they will appreciate that and that brings them to you as a supporter and someone who
is interested in you.
All of these techniques have worked for me for many years since I started trying to go
from being an introvert to an extrovert.
I still do like to spend time alone or with a limited number of people, but I also perform
because I like to play the songs I write and play along with other people who have similar
interests to me.
Those are the people I find I can have the most interesting conversations with.
So I would encourage you to do the same.
Acknowledge that you are nervous, reach out to the crowd and be prepared to learn from
them and remember, people are on your side, they want you to succeed in English so if
they correct you, if you say, "My father, she is very tall" and someone corrects you
in English that your father is a "he" or "him", it is a small mistake but you can learn from
it and thank that person for helping.
They do want to help you in general.
People are not out to get you or to punish you.
They want to help you.
So give yourself the opportunity to be helped by going out in public and speaking with people
and interacting and taking a risk.
It is very much worth the effort.
