22,000,000 people in Australia need gas and electricity and water and other raw materials like gravel and sand and lime - its got to come from somewhere but not from my back yard ?

I guess this...

"Personally I would say it's un Australian if you go off half cock when you have only been given or listened to one side of a story. "

Yeah you are right even if the one side is supported...

Awesome...

We are getting some emotion attached to the matter.

I guess I would associate UN-Australian in this instance to the blatant disregard to the effect ones activities are having on the...

No. I don't quite understand how you deducted that. I thought the videos were self explanatory and outlined that this was effecting a broad area and associated communities.

I'm saying that as...

I found a lovely 30 acre lifestyle block at Tara QLD for $30,000. I was ready to set off on a plane to have a gander.
However, the better half who is suspicious of everything grounded me with...

Just watch the boot from the cap.
They can hold a charge like a battery... only bigger than 9 volts.
Additionally, the winding coils of an electric motor can also hold a charge.
When replacing the...

This might be something worth chasing up with a promo type organization.
Uno, the type of mob that make company labeled pens, beer coasters, calendars etc.

If you could get enough people on the...

Maybe I'd be sold with a pic or 2.

I don't really understand how changing the drum could be "simple"

I guess another alternative would be along the lines of the sleeveless drum sanding drums....

Try to arc on the thicker parts of the material.

If you have a butt join the rolled edge will be a bit thicker than the cut off end.
Run the arc along the thicker part, rolling the weld across...

Hi Batpig.

That pic shows how all my ozitos have worked straight out of the box.

The reason everyone is saying not to do this is because you will tear a gapping big hole in the fabric of...

Cheers.

Who am I going to pass the stillsons off onto now.
I've already used up the "one job" allotment they came with.
I guess I will have to book a table at the market for next weekend as...

Hi Dieman566.

Just a thought.

Another type of lube is graphite spray.
I think it is what locksmiths use in locks because it isn't a wet lubricant.
Therefore, dirt and dust don't settle in...

Thanks Soth and Ian.

The link Ian listed was a fantastic resource which linked to several other threads (posts).

I think I found more info than my head can absorb.

I have decided that my...

Check out the dodgy pics I posted in an earlier part of the thread.
There is a pic (hand drawn) of the end disc of the drum.
The disc has a segment in it and the segment is fixed with a screw...

Cheers Ray.

That's what I was expecting. I reckon 2 drums etc would be the end of my patience.
Shame about your arbor. I intend to build it as a free standing machine with its own motor.

Hi everyone (who is reading this):D

I'm not sure if this is the right place...

(sounds like a rugby player dazed, confused, pant less and lost in a hotel corridor but...)

I am wanting to...

Yeah, I can remember my old man used Araldite to fix anything and everything.
I reckon he used to break stuff just so he had an excuse to mix part a with part b.

Nowadays, you wouldn't want to...

Yeah, I'm good at ending up with "intentional features":D

I was thinking with my double feed rollers, I might reduce the snipe effect.

Just found this if it helps.

Seen the price of parrots lately?

Some one asked me if I would like to loose 10 ugly pounds.
When I said that yes I was interested, they suggested I cut off my head. :rolleyes:

Had a tree fall on my scone many years ago.
When I...

Post started wonderfully (as a semi grumpy younger older man type person) but dropped off with less and less grumpy old man outbursts.

We must keep focussed... how can we have more frustrating...

Congrats artme.

As I journey further into life, I find work encroaches more and more into my social life.:D

I guess you will find your woodworking encroaching more and more into your...

Was thinking about my local area.

Just a thought...

Don't bother with the door for security...
Buy a gun :D

Don't know what you are complaining about.
You at least got a blue one.
The crappy vise I one purchased, which is currently located at the bottom of a plastic storage bin full of other crappy tools...

What is the blade like.
There wasn't much detail in the original pics.
It looked very fine toothed.

$95 would probably be about right for a replacement combination TC tip blade of that size I...

Yes, stopping high speed moving objects with my face is a method I always take caution with.

However, I am yet to master it:D:D

I'm far from grandkids, And the way my two pre teens are, they may not get there.
But there is some thing about kids that makes us all feel mortal.. or maybe its the dodgy knee and dicky back:U

Absolutely awe-some.
Well done.

Even if I could make something 10% to this, I'd be too scared to bring a whine table or any type of whining devise into the house.
That'd be like closing the...

Hi Graham and welcome aboard.

The best advice I can give is your doing something right if after turning the lathe on, you DON'T find yourself on the floor seeing stars.:D



Yeah but they...

Sounds like we need to asking you the Q's.

They say the first step is to acknowledge the problem.

You're years ahead of me... I'm still teaching myself the art of timber butchery whilst in a...

Ideal for stopping your screws and nails from rolling off the top.

Welcome to the clan.

Rob.

Yeah S.A. isn't all that great but at least it's not Vic.:D:D

By nature, isn't epoxy a brittle type of compound?

Like glass is strong but brittle; when it does break the molecular bonds are brittle and break apart very easily

The PVA wouldn't be as...

What type of handle are you using?

Most doors are around 35mm + in thickness.
The fixing screws, shaft etc of the handle might need to be cut down in length if you use 30mm thick.

Definitely...

Have to agree with GC.

Moving WIP, stopping the job before you want to etc etc because you know ya have to fit the cars back in there somewhere.
Drives ya nuts.:~

Almost to the point that...

Everything I've ever made looks "recycled"

In this day and age I have convinced myself that this is a good thing!!:D

Yeah, the plans i come up with would have been rigid enough but it was the incorporating that into a frame that enabled either the arm to be adjusted down or the table up that did my head in.
Ended...

For its age, it could be a friction saw which cuts steel by melting and scooping the molten steel from the cut.
The blade would have close curved teeth with no tips - only the material the blade is...

Wouldn't mind a pic or something.
Sounds like a beast.
I was thinking of the open end type but by the time I had designed my plans, it had grown into more trouble than it was worth.
My preference...

"just a thought"

That's exactly why I asked, coz I was sick of seeing this damn thing in my dreams:D.

Originally labored over the though of building an open end thing like the jet sander coz...

Dust extraction is something required from start to finish. Even if you just get a shop vac to begin with.
Its gotta be betta than you sucking the stuff up.

Im still to plumb the cyclone, but...

Nah, sorry... pretty good at making crap though:cool:

Hi Feeble.

Not sure but they look similar to the fittings used in kitchen cabinets to joint cabinets together.

Usually the cabinets are placed side by side and these "nuts" are located in the...

Um.. ya lost me.

The discs when attached together make the drum.
Using less reduces the width of the drum.
I'm not seeing what you are seeing... I think.

Using a pipe for the shaft I...

Suprised he didn't cut the finger off.

You know, once you've started the cut you can't stop mid way:D

Of course I don't think any of this is funny.
It is extremely serious but with the number of posts in this link; I will be unable to stop reading.
I have found a new hobby... As long as every body...

Hi Arry.

Unfortunately the fact is that budgets suck.:p

However, if you have some pennies to spend there are several machinery warehouses and traders on the net.

Understandably warranties...
