Email their customer service. They sorted me out with one for my 2nd hand saw. Just take a photo of the machine and model number

How did you get on with this? Still looking for some clamps? Which area of Melbourne are you in?

I’m at a standstill until I get paid, because I decided to buy the ozito track saw to try it out.. seems fine so far... I’m going to get an extension and cut off the end timber as the table is nearly...

also dont use a heat gun, you need a gas torch, from what i understand it is the gas and not the heat that pops the bubbles.

If I ever visit Perth, i'd sure like to come by your museum, i was tired hours ago, after seeing your reply on my thread it reminded me of this thread, which i was only half way through. If i ever...

i saw the stand on your vintage machinery/shed post. the top looks pretty flat? i guess for a grinder stand it doesnt have to be perfect. neither does my table to be honest, I'm just worried that if...

I'm torn, because i love the look of black powdercoated steel with the pale timber, but i also just love the look of pale timber lol.

i was thinking of welding this from 90mm box tubing, but also have a fair amount of timber left over, so havent committed to a design yet. I'm open to suggestions! :) I'm worried about flattening it...

Well, after a long week working (unfortunately not as much on my tabletop as i would like to) sick kids, sick mrs & a broken phone, i have an update. The top is all joined, ended up using biscuits...

Be sure to post pictures when you’re done :)

I dunno what the joint is called, but it sounds like you’re talking about a barrel bolt?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It depends on whether or not I finish work on time, but probably around 6pm? Failing that, I’m free most of next week anyhow..

This is what I use. It detects my saw horse legs through 2 bits of 45mm timber. And if I was using it on the ground it was detecting mesh in the concrete.

Maybe tomorrow night, if not Monday sometime? You’re in hoppers Crossing right?

Hey Doug, If Tino doesnt want this i'd be glad to take it off your hands :)

I'm in

Oh yeah they really are. I have a brother in Seattle, I wonder if he might bring me some next time he visits

I also came across a pipe clamp head in the old mans shed yesterday, and am picking up a Bessey pipe clamp head today, so I will have 2 more in my arsenal. I want the Bessey just to compare quality...

Yeah, I might actually m try making some clamping cauls, I have a few spare sticks I can play with. After some frustrations with the jointer I am really happy with the way the timber is coming...

A little progress here.. glueing the boards up in 2’s so that I can run them over my jointer/through my little thicknesser, then I will only have 5 pieces to try to keep flat instead of 10. One more...

Ive read that putting a solid timber front edge on adds a bit of strength too

Well, I’ve been lurking and asking for help on things for a little while, and I think I’m finally at a stage where I can make my first actual woodwork post. I’ve got my jointer finally set to where I...

No idea, but thought I’d follow this post as a Harvey saw is on my shopping list :)!

Not sure if anything’s suites to your needs, but the atlas 46 stuff from the states looks pretty great

Nice!

Beautiful looking timber!

I’m pretty sure they’re set fine - ive moved the fence and set it square again, and tried with smaller pieces and got good results.. the bits I’m jointing would be close to 2700mm, so I’m chalking it...

Oh man thank you guys so much. I’m embarrassed to say I think I fixed 75 percent of my problem. I must have bumped the outfeed table somewhere along the way and it was sitting higher than the cutter...

Hey folks,

Wondering if there is any kind soul in or around the western suburbs of melbourne (i'm in hoppers crossing) that maybe willing to spare a little time to help me with my jointer? its a...

Looks great :)

scrub pythons are pretty popular in queensland too! Also massive.. quite often found banging around in peoples roofs as well as toilets

hey midnight man - i dont know if it is applicable to shipping containers too, but AFAIK the Chinese government subsidises postage costs to boost their economy..

Nice one. Do you know the history of the timber for your bed just out of curiosity? You’ve done a wonderful job on it


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

the bedsides are a nice touch too!

This looks amazing! I have just started collecting myself a bunch of recycled hardwood framing timbers etc from a demo house.. floor joists, bearers and about 60sq m of vic ash flooring.. $100! that...

Alas i missed the months of agony worrying about your tape, but reading this post this morning is a nice "feel good news story" to start my day. :)
VERY relatable too

Hi David,

Would you say that the clamps you sell are a more heavy duty option? And if so what price would a similarly sized clamp be? As mentioned earlier I have only ever used pipe clamps and...

Cheers for that feedback... I’ve never used Besseys so I wouldn’t have anything to compare them to.. yeah it’s a bit of a bummer.. 1200 clamping capacity would have been ideal.. I guess the question...

They might make a decent Xmas present considering nobody is keen to buy me a Harvey table saw I might put these on the wishlist.. I’ll keep you posted [emoji4]

Yes I do love the frontline clamps! Unfortunately for me it’s a “get by with the best I can afford until i sell some pieces to buy better stuff” kind of vibe.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anybody used these?
I am nowhere near being able to afford a set of Bessey clamps but these seem to be almost in my price range.. $300 for 6 900mm clamps.. most the woodworking I do is making...

If the ladies get changed as much as my mrs does....
