Yeah that's one of reasons i'm looking for a workshop now. I also really love gardening so my balcony is mostly soil and I always hated when my plants got covered in sawdust. Neighbours don't...

Hey Martin,
I'm from 10 years into the future (2019) and was wondering if you still had a workshop that was accepting casual membership?

Yeah I have looked at those. Men's sheds are great... If you're a man

None of my local sheds seem very keen to accept female woodworkers into their space. Which is a shame.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for suggestions on where I could rent a spot in a workshop.

Currently living in an apartment, so creating my own at home isn't an option.

Would love any...

Have not heard from Eric in over 24 hours (the above message is the last). When is appropriate to offer it up to other buyers?

I would like to change my username but can not find anywhere in settings how to do it

Just added one. It's not a good one, but the only one I have if it helps

Hey everyone,
Found this in the racks and have no idea what it is or where it came from...

Can say it is fiddleback evenly down the whole length but otherwise a fairly plain/even pale beige. ...

Selling 4 pieces of Tas Blackwood

The grain patterns on the two larger ones i'd describe as whirly and patchy (..unsure of the official "woodworkers" terms :B)

Hopefully you can see what I mean...

Sale finalised today. Can recommend Jarrodd as a buyer, fast communication, turned up on time, paid the asked amount, and very friendly :U

I'm wishing I didn't make the price so low considering all the interest. I thought I would struggle to sell it... Too late to change it now :(

Great, could you pick up on Friday?

Selling bulk lot of Tasmanian Myrtle. Have hoarded it for a few years now and need the space more than the timber.

Whole lot for $200 no negotiations please, the price is already ridiculously low....

Just one timber, Vic Ash

No worries paul, you should post a pic here of the result

Thanks for the responses everyone,
I think Rob is on the money with the iron oxide staining. I was so worried because it was coming up all spotty, and yes they are black/grey spots

Hi guys,

I've been doing some steam bending (new to it, I will add) and am getting a lot of mold come up instantly after I take it out of the box.

Is this ok? Normal? am I doing something wrong?

Looks like Tas Oak or one of those similar eucalypt varieties to me. Hard to tell though without seeing the grain up close and in person where you can feel the weight and the see the tones more...

Hey Arron thats a great idea, my dremel jig wouldn't pass any sort of safety test so putting it in the drill press is also a much safer and accurate way to go about it. thanks for the advice. In...

Thanks for the heads up Ian but it's not for buildings, so I think im pretty safe from any law suits :D

Don't think so, i reckon the problem i was having was with the dremel bit being abrasive all...

Hi Lappa,

Great work, I have found an aussie based supplier and already ordered them. I Didn't think about using any non-dremel branded bits. Thanks a million I think this might just work!

Hi Ian,

I could find the "thin cut" grinding disc as the only suitable option for a dremel blade. If you have another suggestion for a suitable teethed-bit im open to any suggestions :q

I am...

Thanks Lappa, you're definitely on the right track, but that blade could only cut the groove 7mm deep when I need it to be at least double that.

Thanks for the suggestion though, a different...

Hi everybody,

Hoping you can help me out.

What I need to do is cut a groove about 15-20mm deep in plastic. The material is 3mm thick and I need to cut the groove in that edge. so any kerf...
