Just a quick follow up - I had the chance to look at the subject DC again today and can confirm the impeller is made of metal rather than plastic. Sorry for any false impressions.

Although the...

Thanks - not sure what you mean by a straight vaned impeller, it looks to be about 300mm diameter and made of plastic, have attached some photos. 404820404821404822404823

Thanks for your input Bob. For my shed I plan on an externally located D.C., and short 6" duct runs. Just interested in your take on the Timbecon 2HP dusty though...

Hi BobL,

Not to hijack the thread, but I'd be keen for you viw on the Sherwood 2HP Dust Extractor the OP lists above as I was previously looking at the same model. Whilst I understand the quoted...

Hi - I'd be happy to take it off your hands if it's still available

Hi DaveVman

I have to go through the exact same exercise at Bunnings - can you let me know what fittings you found as I may not have a spare 2 hours :)

Hi,

I called in at Masters at Northland (Preston) yesterday - there was plenty of Kobalt 50mm chisels in stock for $14.98.

cheers

Hi,

I was looking for a plane sock to wrap around a renovated handplane I am giving a friend for his birthday. Being a second hand plane, I didn't want to use a Veritas/LN plane sock in case I...

I managed to obtain some from Jackson's a few years ago with the intention of doing some japanning, but haven't got around to it yet. If you have any issues getting it I'm happy to give you some - I...

Some beautiful looking products and he certainly comes highly recommended.

I had a look at the Blackapple eBay clearance page but he didn't seem to have any knobs for a No.3 and the (unfinished)...

NCArcher, thanks, already did, nothing going

Ian Thanks, will try Jim and see if he has any spares

I'll drop him a line and see if he has a No,3 front knob as well, don't mind if I have to do some finial sanding and oiling

cheers

Hi,

Does anyone know if Blackapple Toolworks are still going? trying to find a replacement toe and knob for a family heirloom No.3 which has the horrid black plastic handles, thought their new...

Hi,

I'm in Melbourne, should I be worried that I haven't received my blade/cap iron yet?

cheers

Agree - if DJ is crook then he shouldn't be putting himself through the stress of worrying about posting a couple of hundred (?) blades.

We managed to distribute several Bessey clamp orders...

You can get them cheaper through Australian Abrasives:

Australian Industrial Abrasives :: 3M™ Multifinish & EXL wheels, Superbrade Wheel

I ordered the 3M 2S (fine) and 2M (medium) Multifinish...

Thumbsucker - thanks for the update and no worries, will transfer the $6 shortly :)

Thumbsucker,

Hope you're not referring to me as one of the "stragglers" who hasn't responded! I sent you a PM re this on 16 June, am still waiting for a response to confirm I need to pay an extra...

Thumbsucker.

I finally checked in the shed and it's only my No. 4 1/2 & 7 which possibly need a new blade, so I'll just take one of the 2 3/8" wide blades/cap irons to share between them and not...

Thumbsucker,

I may be intertested in one of each but can't confirm until I get back home in a week - can you put them aside for me on this basis?

cheers

Acolyte

Thanks Rummy, guess I'll have a true holiday in the Top End, in Alice at the moment and enjoying great weather, hopefully it continues when I get to DRW on Tuesday!

Hi,

Just off to the NT for a few weeks and will be in Darwin for a week, are there any secondhand / tool markets up there that are worth checking out? I imagine with the climate most tools would...

Horaldic,

I feel your pain, on 2 seperate occasions I have gone to Carbatec Melbourne to get something which was advertised in their sales catalogue only to find it wasn't actually in stock (not...

Thanks mate, I must have missed the change of address notification :)

Hi, not sure if it is just me, but it appears that the Lee Valley website (www.leevalley.com) has been down for the past few weeks - has anyone else had this issue or have they changed their web...

Chris,

I bought a 1lb tin from Jacksons in Perth about a year ago, I'd be surprised if they've run out of it in all their 16 stores. I'm sure I ordered the "Etching Asphaltum Powdered One...

Thanks, I missed that, Kilsyth is only a chiko roll away, so Joez I'm happy to pick up your clamps too if you want, PM me

cheers

Acolyte

I know, I was offering to do a joint pick up, getting to your place at Berwick will involve a cut lunch :)

Joez,

I just live down the road from Preston and was also hoping to arrange a joint pickup with some locals - my car works fine but the petrol cost of getting to Berwick and back will negate any...

Sorry, guys, but Kilsyth is just as far as Berwick to those of us in Melbourne - can we please have a secondary drop off point for us in the northern/western suburbs? I've asked Martin to supply a...

Alwyn,

I might be interested in some of the blackwood assuming it's still available. What is it like in terms of straightness - I assume it's not DAR but how much would be lost in machining to...

Hi Martin,

Put me down for

2xKR30
2x KR60
1x KP blocks
2x extenders
1x Bessey KLI12 Kliklamp (if available)
Pick up Melbourne

Sign me up, great work!!

Colin,

I suggest you go to the Hand Tool Preservation Association of Australia tool sale next Sunday (9th September). They always have a huge range of old planes and you'll easily be able to...

Thanks Derek - I had heard the guy in Salamanca Place was not worth frequenting and I will be mainly on the west coast and south of Hobart, will see what I find, worst case I'll pick up some wood in...

Hi there,

I'll shortly be going over to Tassie for a week or so and thought I'd check out the local tool markets - I know about the Saturday market at Salamanca Place in Hobart but was interested...

sCORCH,

Thanks for the reply, sounds like the problems lies not with my equipment but my (lack of) technique. I've got no problems with your questions, responses:

1. My plane blades are all...

Gents,

Thanks for all the feedback, much appreciated. The blades would get to the stage where they were not cutting that well but weren't totally blunt, maybe I should have stopped to...

Hi there,

I have some plane blades in both O1 and A2 steel (from Veritas). Whilst the O1 blades seem to sharpen ok, I came to sharpen one of the A2 blades for the first time the other day and had...

Derek,

Thanks again, obviously you've thought about this topic a lot! I'll only be sharpening chisels and plane blades and anything that makes sharpening my A2 blades easier would be welcome (but...

Thanks to all for the response, much appreciated, especially Derek's detailed feedback which has raised some good points. Looks like I'll be going for a 8" model with 25mm wheel width capacity and...

Hi there,

I'm planning on buying a bench grinder for general shop use (grinding, cleaning, polishing with cloth and Scotch Brite wheels, preliminary squaring/edge honing on chisels/plane blades...

Seems like the consensus is to go for a corded model with flexi shaft so I'll do some shopping around for the best price on a 300 or 400 series. I've previously used an old cordless Dremel...

Hi there,

I had a sudden windfall and have decided to buy a Dremel rotary tool after eyeing them off for a while. Usage will be for general small-scale drilling, cutting, sanding, plane...

The video is v.interesting and the Jet clamps look great, interesting that the guys in the USA rate them above Bessey and Jorgensen. The size of the jaw faces and the rules etched on the bars is a...

Thanks and Groggy, I had an email from Shop Vac yesterday saying there is no noise rating available for the unit but based on your feedback if I stick it under the bench it should be fine. I'm...

Thanks for the advice, I had a look at the ShopVac Classic 20 at Bunnings ($89) and it looks a great little unit. If I pull the wheels and handle off it should be <500mm high and it'll...

Batpig,

Thanks for the quick reply. As I'll probably connect it to the modified Triton dust bucket / mini-cyclone, hopefully clogging won't be an issue and I might try lying it on it's side and...

Batpig,

Thanks for the heads up, I've been looking for a more powerful vac to supplement my little 8L GMC shop vac, can you supply some more details on the Aldi one as follows:
