G'day,

I've been French Polishing for a long time and I thought i was about time I gave spraying a go.

Can anyone recommend a course in Brisbane?

Cheers,

Al.

A good one is hard to find...if you come up with someone good in Brisbane, let me know!

G'day,

I'm in the process of building a tool cabinet. What I'd like to do is cut some rectangular steel tube and weld some steel plate to the bottom so it's like a cup. Then on the bottom of the...

G'day Brett,

The crown moulding was made with about 4 different router bits and one (very) selective tablesaw cut.

Gday folks,

Long time, no see.

Thought I'd post a few pics of the (very) recently finished Pennsylvania Spice Chest a la FWW. I've always liked the look of these things and after having made...

G'day Folks,

I'm trying to finish off a project this weekend for my Mother in Law who's going into hospital on Tuesday morning and I need 2 sheets of burl veneer, any species, beggars cant be...

Gday Hilux,

I spottedf this link just before but there are plenty of options on the web now for buying a well made suit: http://www.onlinesuits.com/index.html

I haven't used them myself but a...

My mentor? Believe it or not, www.woodworkforums.com.au!

(It's worth having a lok at :))

G'day Mate, If you like, pm me with your email address and I can send you the plans for the one I made ( http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/showthread.php?p=52031#post52031 )

Hi Graham,

I've a Performax 16-32 and they can snipe if the in/outfeed rollers aren't set proper (which is pretty easy to do). I used to have issues with snipe on my thicknesser but spent a few...

I'm lost for words...

G'day RobMill and welcome.

Great job on the bench.

For what it's worth, I finished my bench about 4 years ago http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/showthread.php?p=52031#post52031 and it's...

I work from Home presently and I'm doing jobs for a few companies with large databases. Including both NAS and (believe it or not) the SAN there's a little over 400tb in here at present. Plenty of...

My 2 cents, I reckon the knob is fine where it is. That's a really nice piece of work Silent.

You're not the only one Major. It would have seemed obvious to us less technically inclined that resting on the runners would provide a good deal more support. This is going to come in handy in a few...

Bloody Brilliant BM, I'm most envious.

Al.

Hey Lignum, That's clever! Nice Job!

Oh lordy, here we go...It's this debate that makes a woodworker...

Let me be the first to say, I really like it! Well done Rocker!

Kudos Rocker.

I think it's a great technical design and I look forward to seeing the next version.

Hi Gang,

A year or two ago I waxed lyric about the joys of a product called Qualasol made by H.Behlen Bros. It's what they call a padding laquer and I have now, officially, run out of it!

My...

Flippin brilliant. I needed that...

lol

Good on you Mick,

You're a man of many talents. I have a hard time drawing a conclusion. :D I'm most envious.

Al.

Bunch of Puritans. Jeez, I've got a membership to one!

Very nice job Pal,

Like the dovetails and great proportions.

Al.

Jeez, Can you imagine doing 10 drawers like that? I have a hard enough time with normal hand cut dovetails!

Dust collection on the open frame was a problem. Jet advised on early saws to cut out the "grid" in the bottom of the saw which made a huge difference. I still have to clean out the inside of the...

What a great idea! I'll need about 300 second hand microwave ovens, some wire, solder and about 300 double adapters.

Also required is some tinfoil to wrap around my head (and other sensitive body...

I have one of the supersaws on a mobile and it's v stable. You shouldn't have a problem.

You know Wongo, I was hoping all you guys would start thinking about what you'd like to get me.:D I'm quite happy not to give it any thought at all and just be surprised on the day.

Thanks Mate,

Even better than the Gregory Price (by almost 10%) for a new Performax! It pays to ask the question

Hi gang,

What options are there for Jet Tools in Qld besides Gregory Machinery?

I just noticed the next show in Brisbane opens on my birthday next year, 16th May...I wonder if they've got a gift register?...

Thanks mate, much obliged. I've used water based stains in the past with great success but on this occasion the spotted gum didn't seem to like it too much (was sitting onthe surface). Maybe I should...

Hi Folks,

I had a nasty run in on the weekend with a wattyl stain on spotted gum that started to come off when I put the first coat of shellac on. Drying times for the stain were well exceeded and...

G'day Major,

Still waiting on the stock. Will be the first time I've used a gum tree for anything except falling out of.

Anyone have any experience with working the gums? :doh: Jeez, what am I...

That's 10 minutes of my life I'm not going to get back.

G'day Rocker,

Have been happily ensconced in an asylum since taking a run at the claw and ball feet. Also, was in rather full on job for a while with lots of traveling so little chance to get my...

G'day Rocker, BitingMidge, et al. Long time, no see.

Nice job on the Z chair, very nice proportions.

Look forward to catching up with you soon,

Al.

On ya Grandpa.

I've always used a false name and gone to her place...

I used the same method that bsrlee suggested with good results. There's a photo of it here somewhere.

All the best,

Al.

Well what do you know? I had no idea kits for projectors were out there. I'll keep watching with interest.

Al.

BitingMidge, I want your shed.

Hi Shane,

For what it's worth, I can't recommend the B&O too highly as a stand alone unit. We've got one in the bedroom that puts the big component system in the lounge to shame.

Just...

I'm not lurking. Just keeping an eye on you guys, and yes, I wouldn't mind seeing a price list...

Great looking bench TassieKiwi. From the look of that bench top, you may have a few issues when it comes to the twin screw vice if you planning on the Veritas. I fitted one on my bench a while ago...

I've been using my "Major Mortice Marker" for the past few weeks and can not fault it. It's now the favourite tool in the shop.

Al.

50.

must try harder to be more irritating...

Very impressed with your first attempt. How do you think you'd go with some claw and ball feet? There's money in it for you!

Al.
