Hi Guys,
Cleaning out the workshop the other day and came across this little item. I paid $120 for it some years ago but I'll let it go for $80. It is the model WR-510, reads out in metric,...

Hi Mark,
Consider them held. I'll PM you with my number and address.
In the mean time, I wish you and yours a merry christmas
and a happy new year!

Hi Pack,
It is pretty much for any router you happen to have. You have to drill your own attachment holes.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
These items are in new condition, never used, but have been taken out of the packaging they came in when purchased. RRP would be approx $145.00, but I'm letting em' go for $85.00.

That's very true Bauldy. Watching the shows and talking to people at the show has been priceless! I have been after a low angle block plane for a few years now and Jim Davey was very informative...

Hi Guys & Girls,
Attended the Working with Wood show today. I must say that I was a bit disappointed at how small it was compared to other years.
I would also like to warn anybody going to the show...

Hi All,
When I was much younger and had more hair you could roll up to the local high school and do a machine shop course or any job you wanted to after school had finished.
Does anyone out there...

Hi Michael,
Thank you for giving me that info. I'll certainly give them a try!
Just recovering at the mo from hernia surgery. I really can't recommend it as a hobby! :no:
So I may not do anything...

Hi Tony,
Thank you so very much for your information. :2tsup:
I just could not afford to buy one sheet at over $200 + G.S.T. each!
The only other alternative was to buy C/D grade, fill all the...

Hi Guys,
Just got a quote for a single sheet of 2400 x 1200 x 19 mm appearance grade A/A plywood that was over $200 plus GST!!!!!! :o Nothing fancy, just hoop pine!

As I am going to be needing...

Hi All,
Does anyone know where I can pick up some Fijian Cedar timber?
It's to match some Fijian Cedar plywood (as in lippings).
I don't know if it is called by another name but the veneer is...

Yeah, I looked at that option Mick, but unfortunately, space is at a premium otherwise I would definately get one! :2tsup:

Scally, I think the unit I want may be of a similar spindle size. I must...

Thanks guys!
Journeyman Mick and Scally - Both of your replies have been very helpful. I have decided to go back out and give the unit a thorough going over in the New Year. It looks like it might...

Can't say I ever did crazy stuff like that. The only things we did in school was throw chiesels at each others feet to see who moved first. Nothing much......:D

Thanks BF,
I have seen this unit and it does look like a very sturdy little beast, but I do not know where it was made. I'll have to check it out.

To quote an famous expolie "Please explain"?

Hi All,

I'm looking to buy a sliding...

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the kind offer but I took Brslee's advice and went to the Lee Valley website. He wasn't kidding when he said it was a dangerous place to visit! So many wonderful "toys" and me...

Hi Stevo,
Thanks for the offer, but I need at least a box full.
And yeah, the little suckers are soooooo hard to get!! :U
Les

Update!
I thought I needed 6 gauge screws - it turns out that I require 4 gauge :B
Needs to be a minimum of 5/8"
And of course, they have to be raised head solid brass.
That last fella came...

Hi Czk,
Not too late at all! They have some really nice stuff :U
Some that would be very hard to get too, I should imagine.
Thanks very much.
Les

A future reference for any other poor sod silly enough to want to make folding screens!...

Just rang Hafele. They do have a two-way rolled hinge (Cat no 341.20.815) which would do the job. BUT, it's $30 a pop :no: (wholesale) and I need 24 of them. When you consider that the hinges I can't...

Tried them too - no luck!
Thanks for the thought.:U
Les

Hi Marker,
Tried them. No go. But they did put me onto The Builders Bargain Centre, who used to keep them. They think they were supplied from either Hafele or Hettich. So, off we go again.
Les

KevM,
Mate, that will do me very nicely. Thankyou very muchly!!:U
Les

Hi Rod1949,
Yeah, gauge is a big problem. If I use a bigger screw size, the head will sit way above the surface.
However, I may have found a mob in the UK who can help me.
I'm just waiting to see...

Hi Darce,
A picture tells a thousand words:U

(hope I did that right)

Darce, as far as I can tell, the gauge system is still in use for sizing wood screws in spite of the fact that we use a...

Rod1949 - I've tried ALL of the local hardware stores. And the speciality stores. And the woodwork supply stores. And just about everyone else!! No luck. It appears that these screws have not been...

Hi All,
I'm still looking for screen hinges!
Papa very kindly put me onto a site in the States, unfortunately they don't sell O/S!!!
Plus their emails bounce.:~
Anybody know of anyone who sells...

Hi all,
Anybody know where I can get some 6 gauge 19mm slotted Raised head brass screws?
I've tried just about everyone in the phone book and on the net. No luck.
I don't thing they are available...

Just what I'm after!!! Thankyou Papa!!

Hi all,
Anybody know where I can get some double throw hinges that you see on room divider screens. They allow the two panels to be moved in either direction and I think that the panels can separate...

Hi Mat,
I rang Timbercon in WA and was told that they no longer sell it.

Benny,
Yeah, I know - I just found the other threads on this topic a few hours ago. I seems this matter has already been...

Hi all!
Some time ago, someone asked if there was an external speed control for his router. It set me to thinking, I went looking and here are the results.
In Nov 97 in a magazine called Silicon...
