Hi,

I'm shifting to NZ and need to get rid of some timber in the next week.

There is some Jarrah, Oak and cedar in the pile, but I don't know what's there exactly and I don't have time to...

The rack has been claimed.

cheers.

NSW - Free Timber Rack available


I've got a large size timber rack I'm giving to any good home.

Hi

Have you found the timber you were seeking. I might be able to help.

cheers, Stephen

Hi again,

many thanks to those who replied with so much good advice.

I got an email back from the NZ MPI after asking about the need for cleaning and likelihood of fumigation. Basically, they...

Hi and thanks everyone for the advice - all of which is very much appreciated. I spoke to a removals company that is NZ based and got the following advice. Since last June, you can no longer pack...

Thanks Tom, appreciate the advice

Hi, I'm looking for any advice on if it's worthwhile to shift my workshop with me when I move back to NZ. The biggest question is about the machinery and power tools, and getting them cleaned up...

Thanks for the advice - two very different approaches there, so somethings to consider

Hi forumites,

I am building a hanging clothes drying rack for my carport, probably out of Tasmanian Oak (I think).

It will be permanently under cover, and it won't be rained on or direct...

You could look at the Makita 2012NB around $850.

Dust extraction hood is a rip off though, except from the US!

I visited the Braybrook last night on the way home - not very much there for woodworkers, with one exception.

They may have a trade tools section but I didn't see it, so I may be under-rating...

With what you save on the Carbatech purchase price, you could retrofit a shelix head.

thanks Bern

hey Sinjin

Looking at doing the same as you with the same jointer the CTJ350 - but what model of Byrd shelix cutter did you buy?

thanks if you can let me know.

I tried very hard to keep this debate civil and respectful (as I always do), but if people (e.g you and VernonV) treat my opinions with condescention, I will reply in kind.

I did not...

Glory be - they see the light at last!.



Nope - I was not in the room at the itme, nor am I an electrical safety expert or a building safety statistician. But other countries don't take the...

VernonV and Silent C,

isn't the standard - which is "how the actual work must be done" - part of the regulatory framework?

It must have some legal force otherwise it is merely advisory. Are...

I am a lobbyist for an industry association, and have eight years in this and similar positions. Plus a stint in a consultancy.

What does that mean? I read and write policy submissions for a...

And the standards are given legal force how? The legislation which would have had even more input from the electrical trades.



Did you bother to read all of my posts? Its a mystery how you...

Grahame,

thank you for your last words.

I have offered no advice to anyone to rewire nor am I doing any wiring myself. My garage had 15amp plugs installed before I moved here. If public...

.

Regulators thinking people would not be so foolish to "mess with something" to save themselves money and time was a very stupid assumption. You were right - they were wrong, very wrong.

...

sorry to come late to the debate but I have a question for the NO you can't crowd:

If running a 15amp appliance in a 10amp socket is truely dangerous (and not just inconveniently tripping out the...

thanks - one for the bookmarks

haven't used them, but do you have a US source?

I bought their bench chisels from Woodcraft.com in the US - at a good price and cheap shipping.

The carving chisesls are also available

If members have been thinking about buying from US stores, there is another bonus at the moment.

I have been taking advantage this week of the high Australian dollar and buying from US stores.

the joys of unwrapping a new tool!

Enjoy.

thanks everyone for your posts.

I guess the question uppermost in my mind is aboout disassembly - which means an engine hoist or engine crane at both ends of the trip, or risking it in one piece....

I have to move house soon and that means moving the workshop.

I can handle the tablesaw, bandsaw moving in one piece - but the 8" 1950cm long jointer, could be the problem.

It has a mobile...

Mr Brush

on another forum, it said that Carbatec will have the dust deputy in March

Clicking the link in the first post, at the left of the page under 'more information' there is a link to Dust Deputy Australia - Carbatec!

I would be interested

Hi Rsser

How did your Akeda jig importation go? And is it worthwhile compared to the Leigh D4R costs?

+1 for Sydney Tools - always good!

I have no connection to Sydney Tools, but always found their prices and range very attractive

perhaps you should ask this question in the Upholstory forum

Also Timbercon in WA.

AAA

does the Incra stuff include sawtable posts wich are 72 or 92 inches long?

cheers

The adjustment process went very well. It took about two hours by the time I cleaned up, and if I had to do it again, it would be much easier.

The worst part was having to lie across the bars...

Jill, there are six bolts for the trunnions on the Proshop. Check out the parts diagram in the manual.

My Proshop has the blade out of alignment with the mitre slots so I am looking to fix that...

Looking at my first Festool purchase (and I know it doesn't stop at one) and wanting advice on which sander and which vacuum cleaner.

It would be nice to buy two sanders for every possible use,...

thanks everyone for your comments and advice.

I didn't buy the thicknesser in the end, as the price went up $500 and I figured the risk v requirement equation did not justify it.

I am looking at the Carbatec 15" thicknesser CTJ 680, but am restricted to a domestic 10amp power supply.

the specs say 15amps, but has anyone run this machine on 10amps successfully?

I am...

thanks Nifty

Hi

What are typical discounts on woodworking machinery at the Melbourne T&WWW show?

I am thinking of doing some serious buying :D, but would like to have some idea of what to plan for before...
