If there's timber underneath, roofing screw with a seal washer. Screws will come out if there is nothing under the sheet, which will lift the sealant eventually. Can you put rivets in those holes?

Stupid question, but - 4 stroke will also have an oil tank, and usually supply the oil for filling said tank in a separate bottle packaged with the mower. Have you filled the oil tank with oil?

Uh, it looks to me like the threshold is a daily use threshold, not a set one for the period of the bill which will obviously be different each time. So it's obviously going to be different for each...

Thanks for all the replies - looks like 20mm + square and 150mm will be the way to go, and I'll see if there is anything I can cut bigger. Phil, will pm you on the weekend with what I have. Geoff,...

Hi all,
Been cleaning up in the shed and have realised I am generating way too many offcuts. Rather than burn them I'm thinking about cutting into pen banks and offering them for sale on the forum....

Hi Paul, If you don't get any offers locally I have a couple of half logs of mango drying in the back yard. Let me know how much you need and I'll take a couple of slices off of them and see what...

Cadaghi? Never seen it spelt with a 'G' before - local name?

With respect, and just in case anyone reads the post about smoking chips and thinks its a good idea...
Huon is not a smoking wood, and general consensus is that you don't use softwoods for smoking....

Or, if you don't want to risk heat, dump on a handful of silica gel desiccant and put a bowl over it upside down. Leave overnight. This gets water stains out of tenpin bowling approaches without...

Polyester casting resin is designed to stay tacky on the surface so that layers adhere to each other as a casting is built up. Any surface exposed to air stays a bit tacky. Needs to be either sanded...

No suggestions to supply, but - don't tell them what you want it for? Seasoned timber in those sizes is going to be exy, any demoiition places you can try?

I'll take them if you are willing to post to Townsville.
Cheers, Robbie.

Edit - the router bits as well as the rest.

There is a gentleman here in Townsville recovering old Gidgee fence posts and selling them for firewood. I picked some up and was going to cut some up this weekend to see what recoverable timber they...

Hi Gus,
I'm cleaning out the shed and I have a heap of hard maple 1"x1" pieces from bowling lane approach infill. Once I plane off the tongue & groove they are about 20 x 20mm square and about...

And for those who thought the puns were over, I'm sorry to denture hopes.

Thought this thread was getting a bit long in the tooth...

Don't do this. You can also make chloroacetone, which is an incredibly potent tear gas. It's also highly toxic. I have personal experience with it's big brother, bromoacetone, from my previous life...

Bunnings also sell baluster rods in kwila which I think are 20mm. It's also a LOT cheaper than buying dowel if you only need short lengths. I was using it to make trampoline ladders. They are a...

Mummatoni, empty your pm's! I have some Lebbeck timber for you if you want it. (its pretty).
Cheers, Robbie.

Soft drink cans IIRC have a very thin layer of plastic on the inside to protect the metal from the acid in the soft drink. If you remove it you can add back that thickness of epoxy. Light sandpaper...

Have cleaned it up a bit but not sharpened, need to practice more first. Handle was basically black with grime when I got it, plate was rusty on one side but not too pitted.

Turned plate/shallow bowl, fresh cut cutting board and comparison between the old and new timber colour. I turned the bowl about 6 months ago, colour is now pretty...

Hi All,
A couple of years ago I started getting into woodworking and turning and was looking for free wood wherever I could. I picked up a bunch of Cassia fistula, aka Indian laburnum or golden...

Don't have any experience with the website, but the photos of the turnings appear to be from TTIT's site and don't appear to be attributed to him, which if he is not affiliated with the business is...

Cool video! Why is everyone assuming it's supposed to be a magnetic toy? In the absence of friction it would run forever if the periods of the ball and pendulum match just on gravity.
OTOH, it...

Hi guys,
Looks like we can't buy clear ammonia in Australia, at least not easily. Cloudy ammonia is 20g/L but has some detergent in it apparently. Bunnings has hydrochloric acid at 320g/L. Be...

Household ammonia plus hydrochloric acid = ammonium chloride solution. If you let me know how you need to use it, ie what strength solution you need I can give you the mixing ratio. Sometimes the...

Buy a box of binder clips and line them with self adhesive felt.
Cheers, Robbie.

Thanks, I'll check them out on Monday (or after Chrissy if they are closed).
Cheers, Robbie.

Hi all,
I have a small burl about 400mm wide and 500mm long that I want to turn into side table tops. It is a slab about 60mm thick and has had all the cracks filled with polyester resin. Anyone...

I have a box of old bowling ball bits in the shed, all MT2 and up to 1 1/4. I'll have a look tomorrow and see if there is a spare 1 1/8. If there is one it will be carbide tipped and probably blunt. ...

How thick and long is the tube? A caustic bath will dissolve it pretty fast, but won't affect the plastic. Can you plug the ends and leave it in caustic overnight?

Hi Toni, bowl looks great. That looks like a piece of the Cassia fistula, aka Golden Shower tree or Indian Laburnum - the only other stuff you got that it could be were Neem or Chinaberry (white...

Hey Toni, I'm currently moving house and will be getting rid of some wood that is too small to be useful to me (as well as some bigger stuff). Welcome to come and have a look. Fair bit of neem, some...
