Hi gents,

I had a look at some of the vacs and the pitfalls of filters blocking up and the like. Not much fun.

Anyways I bought a shop vac vacuum cleaner ($69 from bunnies), a length of...

Nice looking bed Scott.

Out of interest, how did you make the t slats? Just glued or screwed or dominos?
I will be doing a similar project in a month or so.

Hi tk1,

I have just been down the same road which you are on.
What I did was buy a $99 shop vac vacuum and added a 0.3 micron filter to it. On top of that I also installed thier drywall bags...

Something like this maybe? If it is as good as it says, well it should be made mandatory.

Hey Sinjin,

When you get time to play with the surfacer a bit could you put up your thoughts and a few pics as to the effectiveness of these machines. From the pics I found online quite a while...

Nice work TJ. For pine its come up a treat. Wish you had made this one before I made my boy's table. He tends to thrash around and belt his feet on the end of the table. I would of made it lower if I...

Thanks for the replys. The cabinet is something that I have looked at doing for a while. As I said it is frame and panel design. The closest design I can think of was a cabinet that Lignum did a...

Hi All,

I am just having a few concerns about making a small cabinet that I am making.
The cabinet is obvoiusly frame and panel design but I am unsure of how to attach the top.

Its quite possible to do. I used one 105 cfm fan in a solar heater and it does blow a fair bit of air.
I would do some calculations as to changes of air in the room per hour to make sure that the...

Very nice work Lig. Spectacular doesnt do it justice.

One question though. How have you allowed for the expansion of the messmate as to the blackwood? Is it a big issue or something that wont...

Hey everyone,

I bought some ash second hand awhile ago. The bloke who sold it to me didnt know anymore about it other than it was ash. Me, I dont know anymore other than I am pretty sure it it a...

in days gone by they would use a concrete grinding wheel. Most had a crank handle. Some of the newer ones were powered by a motor via a pulley. Here is a pick of an old wheel in a state of disrepair.

I used to live in Rocky and it well known that everything was dearer in Rocky than Mackay. The fuel was always 6 or 7c a litre dearer and the price of groceries was a bit more as well.

One of the best ways to get the best out of your air conditioner is to see if it is actually making water in the drain outlet.
If not, you have a couple of things that may be wrong. 1. Could be low...

So I guess that means you will be selling them to forum members at mates rates then:D

I havent had anything to do with the tatas but the new cheap models do ask a few questions though.
