Hi Islander,
As you can see Troy has responded earlier than you and I have replied to him responding to specific questions he had. If for some reason Troy does not purchase it, you are more than...

Bob,
Have sent you a PM.

Hi Bob,
Long time no hear!!! We have swapped bits and bobs before. Are you still in the same area down there backing onto Bribie road.
The drill press has your name on it now.

Hi all,
Well after 47 years I have been told I'm too hard to live with which is most likely true. Living with PTSD from time in Vietnam back in '69 takes a big toll on one and those close to that...

Thanks Bob for the info re lining your shed with plasterboard.

I think it is the way I'll go when I eventually get around to doing mine. It is Titan 6mx4m and I think it will handle the weight of...

Hi Greg,

I've been thinking of insulating my shed to reduce the heat.

I was thinking of using bats and then lining the shed with plasterboard.

The local big green shed has 2400x1200 sheets...

Hi, If you are interested in the Dewalt kit but with the 3AH batteries, do a look-up of the DCK285L2 kit. You also get the 3rd 3AH battery via redemption.

Hi Willy,

Sorry I can't help you directly but I suggest you get in contact with Rob McKee from the woodturners Society of Qld. Contact details are on the back page of the on line 'turning talk'...

Hi Fred,

I have undertaken the task of digitising all of my slides just recently and did it by using my Canon EOS DSLR camera.

I made a light box - well cut a hole in a cardboard one, shoved a...

Hi Wheelin,
Not sure if I've got this right, but wouldn't you have to be careful how much pressure you used, otherwise the taper would just flair the ends a bit or would that not matter?

Just a...

Hi everyone,

I popped off a PM to Michael with a few questions regarding the quick canoe and Michael suggested that a thread in the forum was equally suitable for the questions I had. So hence...

Hi AH and welcome.

Looks like Camec are about to make more money!!!

Restoration of a van does become a labour of love but the satisfaction is worth while.

Any idea of how lone you expect to...

Hi Sam,
All look extremely good. Well done again.

My pick is #4.

But Clinton - where are you? - hadn't fallen overboard I hope!!

Like the colour too.

What is it like to paddle?

Waldo,
As I see the set of images, to me it looks like both sides of that wye go to the table saw; one to the base and one to the overhead. Not too sure if the overhead would be too effective with...

Great job Texx - hope the next mechanism works fine.
Loved the thread title.

Hi Cliff,
The end result looks fantastic - job well done up to your usual standard!!

Quick question, did you put the seat(?) height to fit your build or just as the plan suggested?

How do you...

If you have exposed rafters in you shed, just sling it with a block and tackle or a ratchet tie down strap. Has worked for me to lift heavy objects.

Hi Dave - Ozkaban,

Sorry to take this off thread...

Are you a 'coffee snob' and procure your beans from Mal??

There are usually some great beans on sale every month - if you're quick enough...

Hi Vernon,

I finally sourced some Borax today at a smaller Bunnings at Lawnton (Nth. Bne).

Made up a spoonful of honey and half of one of Borax into a paste and put on some lids in the...

Hi Vernon,

Can you advise where you have been able to source Borax.

I've looked on the shelves at the local supermarket near both the washing powders and pesticides and also asked at Bunnies...

Hi all,
I have a son who is in the swimming pool maintenance business.

The pool tech's vehicles don't have a very long life I'm afraid - would hate to but one s/hand!!

Hi Dennis,

Welcome and you have received the typical friendly and helpful welcome from the 'Woodwork Forum'.

Hi John,

I don't think it is at all bad.

Granted the end grain is a bit disappointing on the inside but getting that right is a matter of technique, practice and sharp tools - as suggested...

Happy birthday Cliff.... wow a new year starts in more ways than one!!!

Have a good one.

Thanks Artme,

Yes been a member since beginning of this year, but not a very good one I'm afraid.
I only get over there about once a month on a Tuesday and generally lurk around getting pointers...

Hi all and Season Greetings,

The biggest highlight for me would have to have been having one of our sons and his wife return to Australia after years living overseas.

And to add to that, they...

Hi all and season greetings,

Thanks to everyone regarding the CA application process - would make sense that I'm trying to put too much on a once ... and maybe being slack with leveling it.

I'm...

Hi all,

I was up at Bob's (Robyn2839) last week dropping off some cartons for his packing and he decided I needed to have a couple of pen kits in return.

Thanks Bob for leading me astray into...

Hi Rum Pig,

Ah hah.... Now I know what they should look like!!!

They certainly look good to me too.

The NGR is a striking timber.

For me the pain starts after I get the bottle opened!!

Yes they do look attractive and also practical. Now for the bottle and glass coasters to go with them...

Hi Skew,

Thanks for the comment and advice - used sikaflex to bed them so should be ok.

Ern, sounds good to me and thanks

Hi Duncan,

Wouldn't mind being on your Christmas present list!!

Especially love the Sierra in Spanish Olive... Very good job.

Shirley,

Hope the husbands health improves soon and wishing you a merry festive season and all the best for 2009.

Hi Ern,

I'm sure David's CF Charity drive will be more than happy to receive an extra platter or bowl from you as payment of your 'bet'!!

Its value will be far more than $20.00 I'm sure.
...

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the comments - much appreciated.

I forgot to mention in my haste to get the post up before I chickened out that they were finished by sanding to 600 grit and then...

David,
Great idea and one that will attract many completed items for a worth cause.

I'm willing to make something and hope it raises some money for the cause.

Would offer my place as a...

Well here goes!!!

First post of some of my work - my excuse is that I've only worked out how to use the camera!! Haven't work out the lathe yet.

Some time ago I went up to Bob Whitworth at...

Hi Howdya,

This web site is worth a look. http://www.coffeesnobs.com.au/

Another machine worth looking at but not a espresso...

Hi Craig,

Sorry to hear that - will leave a lot of disappointed woodies here in Brisbane.

Hi all,

Have had both knees done over the years and found that when it was just a tear the discomfort wasn't too bad.
The other time there was a tear and also some loose cartilage floating around...

Good on ya Shane
Nothing like a bit of shed time to get the mind sorted for a while at least!!
Hope you acquire a camera again soon

Greetings all,
Yep Neil you have the names right. My son's name is Nigel.
