Thanks Bob. I usually have a couple of ducts fitted that blow down low and stir up the air but I don't know if that will be effective with the new filter arrangement since the flow isn't as strong.

Years and years ago we had a ducted aircon that originally came from the Ark when Noah had finished with it. It was superseded by split systems years and years ago too. Being me, I wanted to clean...

It's my cunning plan to have a bunch of timber for Shoji doors dressed:;

I finished the scraping today to a standard that is good enough for a hand plane. I have good planarity across the toe,...

That's annoying sorry. Here is a similar longer video that goes into more detail

Scraping my #7's sole began today. It's a wartime US Stanley and quite a bit concave and not useable. I started filing away the ends this afternoon with a square second cut file and then switched...

You know, possibly a better way to kerf in this case is on the outer side of the curve. Have a look at #woodworking #builder #build#carpenter #trending #fyp - YouTube

if you colour and grain...

If you want to do it by kerfing you can do it very simply by handsaw and a bit of mathematics. If you want to do it on a table saw try and use a blade with no more than a 1.5mm kerf. In fact 1.5mm...

Gee I wish I read that before I bought my anemometer

You need a steam bending strap to stop the cracking like in the link https://www.instagram.com/p/B-4mLm8HQ_V/. It transfers the tension on the outside into more compression on the inside. You might...

It could be from a wood plane, like the one in the photo.

edit. Scrub that I see the hole and glue line now :doh:

Bob, how do you measure airspeed accurately at the end of a duct when the anemometer won’t fit in the duct? I measured right at the mouth and got a reading and then held it at a bit of an angle back...

1)no 2)sort of. To some extent to allow for 3)yes. It could be a simple L shape or a bullnose or square section in shiny, brushed or colour matched.

If the substrate thickness is too deep for the hole saw you're allowed to back it out and remove the waste. With mdf it's pretty easy to insert a screwdriver and break off the top bit. Either a...

Whether the pro-nuclear lobby will let the facts get in the way remains to be seen.

If the uprights are all slightly different lengths choose the longest one and install it against the cornice at one end. Measure to the bottom of the installed bracket and transfer the mark to the...

I’d probably go with a hole saw without knowing more about the situation.

let us know how it goes

Just a few more sleepless nights thinking about it:;

In my case the vessel sprung a leak, likely corroded through, lucky it was in the garage. The stop cock was frozen and could not be turned off. So I turned the water off and called my plumber mate,...

Yes I did wonder about the wisdom of removing the circuit once I found out Energex would charge me $180 to collect the meter. I don’t know that there was much in it for the sparky, it didn’t take...

Just came across this podcast on heat pumps in Australia. 403 Forbidden (this link looks weird but works for me)

From units that have a back up heating element, to uncertainty about controls over...

Hi, yes paint it on with some extra coverage beyond the stain and paint over as regular undercoat.

If it's been painted that many times, cleaning it with anything won't help because it's not dirty. Whatever it is has a colour and reacts with, I assume, the acrylic paint, which is what will be...

Until you read the plaque in the photo and realise the advertiser could have just said it was an ice shave. Still quirky though.登录 Facebook

The pins are the square pegs and the tails are the round pegs :q:q:U:U

If you welded two tabs for each steel section onto the roof you could cantilever the steel off the roof and drape a tarp over it. No need for uprights and they would slide back on top of the roof to...

The main problem is not causing any bruising right on the shoulder, but a good sharp marking knife slices across those fibres so at least the outside of the joint is clean and sharp. Still a squire,...

I've spent the last few weeks on and off thinking about the Keyhole joint Traditional Japanese Work by Kintaro Yazawa: Trick Joint Box: Key Hall Joint Box and how it might go together. With a bit of...

Thanks Claude that’s exactly what I need.

I want to get a #8 carving gouge that matches a 4mm circle radius or the nearest on the small side. I'm not sure the mm dimension in specs is the radius, I think it might be the sagita of the circle...

thanks Camelot:2tsup:

Thanks Ray, oh I wonder given you’ve included mdf, I should have mentioned it’s an exterior staircase on steel stringers at about 750mm span and 1000mm treads no risers

Anyone please , what’s the minimum allowable thickness of timber stair treads in the building code. 50mm?

Now we're getting somewhere. In post #10 and again in post #13 I asked what the state of the rough sawn wood was, was it a bit convex or a bit concave overall. It's important. In post #16 you said...

:o:o But get back on the horse. The best tip I can give is keep your fingers away and definitely do not test the proudness of the blade with fingers as you would a hand plane (I’ve seen a video)

I doesn't matter the weight, if you're holding the heel down, the indexing surface the heel of the sole provides can't let the toe drop, and since the toe bears until the front of mouth drops off,...

Don't understand this sentence

I use Milwaukee open-lok ones on my Milwaukee tool-less multi tool. They aren't cheap! They might fit. Available at the larger tool stores.

I also just did some planing with my scraped #3 and a fresh blade and the concavity of the board increased to only about 0.05mm. Planing off with the #5, first pass took the ends and missed the...

Haven't used frog tape either but the blue tape can be made bleed proof by rubbing the edge down hard with a finger in a rag (so it slides easy) or with a wooden wedge in a rag if it's in a corner. ...

Wait a few years and it’ll be down that thin ;) used to be 1/2” was the thinnest, then 12mm now some is 11 with primer! What trim is it? You could ask the local joinery to run it off for you if...

I underlined a part of the quote that makes no sense to me. Taking the weight off a little is going to lighten the shaving a fraction and keep the ends high, not take the ends off. Unless you mean...

That's the problem then. See how fast the diamond wheel cuts, but it's better to hog it of on a green wheel then polish on the diamond wheel (if it's for polishing). The polish needs to be quite...

What I think is happening to cause the troubles with the scraped plane is your years of experience of hand planing and your muscle memory. It's linked to the parts of the quote I included above...

The geometry of the edge is important. The edge should be radiussed (120-150mm) and negative raked. The internal angle shouldn't be 90º but somewhere between 93º and 97º. If the edge is digging in...

You're obviously taking thick shavings to dimension, before finishing with a finer setting (I assume the same plane). But is the convexity present in the rough wood? Is it present after the heavy...

Hi DW,
I typed a reply and lost it:o. We need to eliminate confounding factors. I assume flattening cherry means a panel wider than the width of the sole. This is different to jointing because...

The effect you're talking about would tend to plane a slight convex given enough passes, but it is so minute as to be immaterial in practise. The plane bears on the front of the mouth and the heel...

hand scraping reduces friction, lapping is what increases friction. Scraping makes a number of points planar, it doesn’t make the surface dead flat.
