It has already been suggested to leave your keys on the kitchen table so they don't hang around too long. The government is soft because too many parents are soft.

Wozza you would be aware of this and don't you usually use an electrician! Maybe testing these mods out :biggrin2:

Interested to know how people know Titebond to be so superior to other adhesives. I use Soudal PVA exterior grade glues and have no issues with it. I have tested it against polyurethane type wood...

Years ago I had this too and what worked for me were shoes with a rolled heel.

Can failures be attributed to our varying voltage supplies. We changed to 230 but that was in name only. Perhaps much electronic manufacturing is geared to 220 but another issue is that of dirty...

Well done wozz, great effort and looks good.

Yep, with an extra zero.

Loking good, did you show pics of the tiled floor before or yet to be done.
edit..oh, I missed that post.

Recently tried marketplace for the first time ever as I have as little to do with Facebook as possible. I was after a coffee machine and the absurd number of ads from scammers defied belief. $1000...

huh, never come across hot on the right in NSW but have so in New Zealand.

I had an account here for many years but I used Phild001 for some reason, not sure if Phild01 was already taken.

Yeah, I noticed that afterwards but missed the link, just tried the code and it accepted but I don't think the amount changed :(

oops, yes it did...excellent:)
thanks justonething as that made me...

Months ago I had an order ready only to have computer failure ad nauseam. Finally computer replaced under warranty and forgot the order until today. Is there a coupon code for Arrow & Smith still?...

An update.

The new saw was a wasted purchase due to the glue jamming the blade. With what I had left I took tedious care with the SCMS cuts. They were close but still not perfect and more to do...

A face veneer only sorts out the front, not the join behind it. As it was the original mitres were somewhat ok but it came at the expense of where the two long joins meet. I could have got away...

When I pulled it apart, the mitres were only glued successfully 60%, with open voids. It was quite strong and I moved it around quite a bit. Not saying it was strong but it was very resilient. I...

I have already tried an old opened pack that was nearly finished. It was still as good as new. Once set, you can't budge it, but I will experiment with the un-opened pack first on some mitre...

Seems nobody knows about it when I have mentioned it around, it came in a green box, and mixed up to a light tan colour, Very hard and extremely strong and I think it was over $30 all those years...

I might need to visit one of these, should check if I have a 'men's shed' locally.

That clamping method looks great, and looks simple enough to do. I was hoping not to stress the timber but definitely keeping this one in mind, thanks for that link.
I have chosen to use different...

I could go to my local yard to have it re-thicknessed but it could end up with a gouge at one end. Also the short ends are only 250mm long and too short, as well as the bevel making the feed-in...

I think I will remove the guide wheel from my 45 router bit, as a previous suggestion. The bit won't do the whole depth but I can finish that with the scms. I still have to contend with face with...

Well things have not gone well at all. The idea had merit and it almost did work. What I failed to factor in was the horrendous drag from the glue gumming up the blade. The glue would melt and...

Eventually I will have it attached to the wall with a full length inconspicuous steel angle attached to 6 oregon studs at the top and 2 at the bottom.
Will report back, but I might be a bit slow...

Thanks for that.
It is assembled and doesn't look too bad. What I am unhappy about is that it isn't perfect through the mitre length and has voids. This leaves an open seem along it's length that...

Now I follow and will re-think it again. Plan A was coming together quite well, but yes, the pull saw needs looking into, especially if it has a quick and sharp stride. Thanks onething for the link.

The plan is to cut it in it's now assembled state, no way will it fit into the SCMS. Maybe there is a misunderstanding as I don't see how your jig design will guide the saw down through a 330 cut....

That was another thought I had too. I just wasn't sure how I would guide the saw. I agree a hand saw vertically is the optimum way to do it but the guidance system had me beat.

Agree and hope I can pull it off.

Thanks justonething. Chainsaw..:C.
I thought of a hand saw but don't trust my ability to do a 45. I have had more thought about it and now plan to clamp the boards as they are currently connected...

Yes, and I actually did use the belt sander for fine tuning as well as a belt in a block for manual sanding. The manual sanding was hard work and the result wasn't bad, but not perfect and I think...

Not sure why you are suggesting ripping 20mm off the front edge. Whilst it is possible to get one end mating well, the other end will not due to the slight warp and inconsistent thickness of the...

Thanks for that. Yes the boards are as stated and it is very heavy. It is a long box as in the pic with no front or back so the 4 mitres are 330 long (just measured it).
I had already prepared it...

I am making a wall hung tassie oak cabinet shelf.

I had to laminate a 90x32 to already laminated 240x32 but these weren't sized quite right from the yard. I was able to sand the inconsistency out...

Thanks Claw Hamma, that was a useful read and I do wonder when using PU is better than PVA, other than maybe gap filling.
I did the first of three panels (3 boards each) with the PVA and the result...

Last night I glued up two pieces of Meranti with the TG Mega Bond. I just separated it and wood fibres were pulled off for around 70% of the glued area. I should have tried a less hurried test with...

I bought a cheap 11" Dell simply because it had the clearest and brightest screen of any other brand, HP was woeful. Have had the Dell for a couple of years now and it has been great, but I am not...

Argh, maybe I wasted money.
I also just read this: The Truth About Polyurethane Glue - Popular Woodworking Magazine
I will now just use my max bond PVA instead.

Surely the foaming glues have their place as they are claimed to be much stronger than PVA? I am testing some off-cuts at the moment.
I was going to use PVA and agree they are reliable and strong,...

I need to create boards 400mm wide and laminating three 135x19 together. I have used Titebond before and it just seemed like any regular PVA glue. I expect a polyurethane to be stronger, noting the...

I am laminating some 19mm tassie oak on edge. I was going to use Selley's Durabond but came across their other Tarzan's grip product - Mega Bond. Interested in any comment comparing the the two...
