Put them to use and made a small bowl. Haven’t done any turning in about 12 months. Feels good to get back into it.

Hi all. Hopefully this makes sense.... I have just run some dust extraction tube to my lathe and I want some kind of movable/flexible arm so I can move it around where I will be most effective.

Thanks heaps Neill. That’s exactly what it is. I’ll look for a sharpening jig as I’ve never sharpened them so that would be the easiest option. Cheers.

Hi all. I brought this tool a few years ago and need replacement cutting tips. The tool doesn’t have any markings and I can’t remember the name. Would anyone know where to buy new cutting tips?...

Wow, never thought there would be that much to consider. Might go back to the lathe, that seems soooo much simpler now.

I used just a wood glue from Bunnings... guessing there are better options.

There are stringers running underneath with plenty of glue and fixed with brads from a pneumatic gun, so no movement...

Thanks for the reply’s all. It is a single layer, I used Tung oil to finish and didn’t do underneath. Starting to see some redesigns coming along to strengthen and seal better.

Hi guys. I posted some pics a while back of some furniture I made from fence pailings. Since then all of the pailings have come apart from each other. Normally I would say the wood was wet, but this...

Hi guys.

I spent the weekend making a coffee table out of fence pailings (picture attached) and I'm torn between giving it an oil finish or a Matt lacquer finish.

Any thoughts, given its a...

Thanks Bob. Your absolutely right. Figured it out late last night. Doesn't look original.

Thanks guys. I have sent a PM John, really appreciate it.

I am am starting to gain confidence with the machine now, but I have found the blades are too low so I'm going to adjust them tonight.

Thanks guys. Don't suppose anyone has seen any good videos or manuals for these machines?

Hi all

Hi Sturina

I live in Albion Park and usually travel up to Trend Timbers at Windsor, its a bit pricey but they have a good range. I did get about a tonne of wood trom Tassi about two years ago and...

I made one a few months ago out of a bit of Huon Pine offcut. Just oiled it lightly with some canola oil. Looks great and works fine. About the same dimentions as you want as well, just a bit shorter...
