If you are concerned try it on the reverse side (that's what I did it also gave me the...

No Baz :no:first I stained with the spirit based golden oak the 12 hours later wiped over with oil based baltic pine. This highlights oak through the baltic pine. Mind you it looks more golden oak...

Hi Bazza
I used golden oak stain as a base then overcoated with baltic pine stain (both Wattle - oak spirit base - pine oil base) for the finish coats I bedded in with 3 coats of shellac then...

Hi Wongo
love your desk. But also interested in your workbench. Are they floorboards on top (tongue and groove- what wood?) does anything move when you hammer, plane etc what mods would you make if...

no Prozac just just the headboard (if you note there are 2 screwholes in the bottom rail that attach to the wall.) the bed is an ensemble so I don't need or want the baseboard - too hard to make the...

I'll give them all a go. I particularly like the clamp style (have never seen them,) asfor the tape thats what I have always used but I thought I would go upmarket and try the collar....

Hi all

I'm thinking of changing from oilstones to other systems for sharpening my tools. apart from waterstones many woodworkers appear to favour diamond stones and before i jump in and buy an expensive...

thanx guys. As I suspected

Yes I know you get what you pay for but does anyone know why these are so cheap. What is the catch? three piece set fine med and coarse for $21 on ebay. what is the go?

thanx Bob:no:

thanx guys for all your advice. taken on board and 2000 will be it. it feels good to make a decision.:2tsup:

Yes the triton is the best for me ..... space....portability....and other options.
I will get the 2000 as that is the consensus ( but it makes sense when you think about it newer version would have...

in what way -(fiddly, not accurate, useless ?)
thanx
Bob

I'm seriously contemplating buying a triton. I have the chance of picking up a 2000 or a mark3 (the mark 3 is very much cheaper)

Whilst I can see some differences between the two is the 2000...

yes maybe the triton is the way to go. but I kinda liked the idea of one motor for all and the simplicity of the changeover was good. thanx for your reply:2tsup:

just looking on the net and I am impressed with the shopsmith mark v. does anyone know if they can be bought in Australia, their price or their approximate price secondhand? Is there a similar...

I'll try that as a first option.:doh:

Thanx Bob - good to know about the cooking oil

Looks like Ozito don't have the template so I'll use your pipe method.:B

yea I only used a small rod. But even with a punch wouldn't it tend to push up the backing paper (thus restricting sawdust into the hole)

I have a half sheet orbital sander (ozito - don't laugh) and I am having difficulty getting sheets with holes in them for dust extraction. I have tried Bunnings and local hardware shops but to no...
