Dropped into LEDA on my way to a job and they had the parts I required in some old stock, so the bandsaw will be up and running again this weekend.

Still need to see if I can get the whole...

Hi folks,

Been a while since I posted anything, but I have been lurking in the background.

Recently had a few issues with some of my machinery, not least of which is age.

I have a Hare and...

great, thanks for that.

Hi Folks,

Does anybody here have any idea where I could find a clutch assembly for an old pro mac 650? the part that's broken is the rotor, I just figure if I'm going to take it apart then I may...

Hi Folks,

Just wondering if there are any SA millers on here.
The reason I ask is that in the near future I will be having two really big trees dropped. One is a Blue gum roughly 600mm in dia at...

Cheers for that,

I'm going to be off line for a couple of days as I'm actually coming to your neck of the woods for work.

Himzo.

Hi folks,

Just wondering if anybody knows of a supplier of melaleuca leucadendron, I want to make some cutting boards and from memory this timber has an antiseptic quality. I don't need large...

Hi guys,

haven't done much wood work of late but have been inspired lately to build a bee hive.

I'm building a Warre hive, which is a vertical top bar hive like this one : Warre Hive The Bee...

I'd like to add my thanks to Frank for organising the event and for getting me in trouble by feeding me so well that I couldn't eat dinner.:D

Thanks also go to Harry72 and robutacion for the...

Put me down as a maybe,
should be able to get there, just depends on whether work decides to send me off to some place again..

Hi Frank,

Can you add me to the "maybe" list, I really need to get back to doing some woodwork soon or I am going to go nuts. ( date depending)

Himzo.

I'd be more worried about having a strong magnet near your TV, CD's and DVD,s are Optical devices and should be OK with magnets around them.

As for the cabinet, I have to agree with some of the...

How much and what condition?

I occasionally get a similar problem, it's usually to do with the fact that the fence isn't the same distance from the front of the blade as from the back.

When setting your cut make sure to...

Couldn't agree more.

Nice work Harry. :)

Thanks Carbatec,

great offer,..

Any idea as to where in Adelaide your store will be?

Himzo.

Not here the wording is "use of fires in the open". The Adelaide hills are a high fire danger area during the summer, and if you get caught doing the wrong thing then you get jumped on from a great...

I'm thinking of building one as well.

I do want to find out about the legalities of fireing it up during the fire season though. (any special safety requirements etc..)

H.

you could filter the water through an aquaponics setup..

have the fish waste feed plants such as herbs or ferns etc..

something along these lines, http://www.backyardaquaponics.com/

Himzo.

Strangely enough I was looking at one of the pieces today, However the temperatures in my shed are a little on the high side.

BTW Neil that is lovely work..

H.

Try an old fridge and one of these

I haven't turned any of it as yet, two reasons...

One the wood is not quite dry enough yet.. I'm not good enough to turn green yet.

and two.. I haven't had much time for woodworking of late.....

Welcome Irish Gardener..

Thanks for the info, and the reminder that I have " a lump" of this stuff waiting to be turned...

Himzo.

You can only grow them from Rhizones in Australia, only female plants are available...

Planting is generally done in mid to late July through to end of August @ the latest. Flowers mature about...

You could always grow them in large pots. A good potting mix with some well rotted down manure.

Hi Guys

I've been away for a while (still lurked occasionally). I consider myself close to this subject, as I worked in the Hearing Industry for about 13 years before my current job.

Without...

Ok,

when is everybody going to be there? I haven't decided on a day yet, but should actually be able to attend this year. I was thinking that we should do what was done last year and have a meet...

Hi Iain,

As others have said, do a hydrometer reading and see if it's stable over two or three days.

The cooler temps can certainly be a reason for the slow ferment, I have a vienna that is...

I'd sack the marketing firm if they can't see that this is the biggest woodworking club in Australia.

my interpretation of it may be wrong but I see a club as a regular meeting of like minded...

Hi Iain,

You may have just missed out, Grumpy's were selling these earlier in the year.

Orders have now closed, I do know their source is...

Ahhhh Green death, the only beer that solves thirst... one taste and you don't want to touch another drop.:U :U

My biggest disaster was to overcarbonate 50Lt of wheat beer... didn't go pop but it...

Unless you find yourself on the wrong side of the switch, thinking it's off.

Ahhh yes, but think of the bonding...:rolleyes: :D :)

Hi Ferrous,

Firstly welcome to the forum, there is a wealth of information here which you will find usefull as you search through the different threads (carefull it's contagious).

Now then,...

Couldn't you blokes in the west band together and hire a bus and make a trip over to Adelaide or even Melbourne. Probably cheaper for you guys to do this than a whole bunch of distributers having to...

Saved in Favorites, Thanks Iain.:2tsup:

Just for the record:

Crown Larger = Fosters alrger ( in waynker bottles),
haven't tried it as a shandy though.... could be OK on a hot day.

H.

well I've just walked away from the TV, and the first thread that pops up is this one.... hmmmmm I say to my self.
I've just put up with god knows how many "you have to haggle" and "closing down...

Hi Stinky,

Possibly a dumb question but, If the watle is 25mm thick why not use it without veneering ont a substrate? Same procedure ... torsion box et al.. but without the substrate.

Sorry if...

The thought hadn't crossed my mind, but I can't see why not :2tsup: .

Just something else to ponder,

They don't call it global warming much these days it's all "Climate Change",

(round two):D :D :D

Yes - I do full grain as well, and do it for the taste, however my beers still work out cheaper than the stuff thats comercially available. Which is the point I was trying to make.

I'll be...

Hi Ding,

You can certainly make some nice beers on the cheap, don't know about the other stuff ( I haven't given them a go yet). The best advice I can give you is to visit a brewshop and get your...

The bench is on hold for a while, I've decided to use a Veritas twin screw vice as a tail vice, so need to put some money aside for that. I also want to make some cabinets and draws for it, which...

Jedo,
If all else fails ring the showgrounds, they should be able to tell you. Though I'm more inclined to believe that it's the July 27-29.

H.

Couldn't mention any of this when I was there Noooooo.....

Oh well I hope it goes to a good home and that many a red is drunk around the lot that is burnt.

H.

Ok heres my view on it:

Global Warming is happening, I know this because politicians are telling me so:roll: :roll:

It's too late to do anything about it, why? because politicians know about...

Hi Ding,

Any chance it could be a Cyatic Nerve problem? The pain in your lower back and the pain in the legs could be "inferred" pain from the cyatic nerve being compressed somewhere else....

Yep fermenters are the same as you would use for normal beer, as for champagne yeast I try and get Lavin Champagne Yeast EC 1118, but there is an alternative which Brewcraft sell which is also quite...

OK heres one I plan to try this weekend,

750g of Ginger root put through the food processor,
