No need to worry about sidetracking this thread! I'm definitely reading with interest, although not fully understanding lingo around impeller size (although bigger is better?).

Just yesterday I...

Another bit of info from me. When my room cleaner was in the double garage sized shed, I had it mounted in one side, about 2/3 back. I pointed the rear exhaust vent towards the other side of the...

Timbecon's Sherwood SCDC-3300-H 15A 4HP cyclone dust collector has got my interest (https://www.timbecon.com.au/sherwood-cyclone-dust-collector-3000w-1100cfm).


Does anyone have experience with...

Yes. I have one. Haven't used it in my new large shed yet, but in my old double garage shed I could definitely tell when I hadn't turned it on. I would also set the timer to run for 3 hours after I...

I haven't noticed any glare while in there at night.

Yes, it's fantastic. Glad I went with it all. It's all working very well.

Thanks mrmoon and NCArcher!

I'm in contact with Scally now, and will soon have a great project going with my daughter in the new shed! Relieved - she's super keen!

Hi. At the last Sydney wood show at Rosehill I bought my son an African tongue drum kit (looks like the one in the pic). My daughter is now asking if we can make one but I can't recall who sold...

Hi everyone. An update on my shed lighting. I followed my original plan - 2 high-bays and 12 LED battens, per the pic in my first post.

I've only installed the two high-bays at the moment, and if...

My sparky has recommended these high-bays https://www.voltexelectrical.com.au/p-4028-200w-led-high-bay-light-cool-white-with-90-lens.aspx. I'll go with 3 @ 26,000lm each.



Thanks - that's a...

Its been a long time between drinks on here. My workshop has been in storage for 3 years while other life stuff has been happening, but I've just finished building a 10m x 14m barn. Outer eaves are...

If you're even thinking about this this, then jump in. It's a fantastic course, Alan is so generous with passing on his knowledge!

You snooze, you lose, as they say!

Thanks very much Ubeaut! 👍 I'll be more on the ball next time! Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

Yeah that's not good. I've found out who the neighbour is and spoken to them as I need the same access to install my septic absorption beds. They have full knowledge and approval. And of course a...

I should pop up on here and give an update.

I've decided on an American Barn style. Mainly for the better looks (which is subjective). Most people have come back and said they can do it 2 x 4.5m...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll have some quotes coming for the normal shed to see how the price compares. Some companies can do an American Barn that size with 2 bays deep instead of 3,...

Its been a long time between drinks for me on here. Been without a shed for a few years, but having a new house near completion I can now get back into a shed.


I'm looking at a shed 14m wide by...

I bought this model from Bigger Boys Toys a couple of years ago. No issues with BBT at all - great service. Only an hour from them so pick up was easy. I'd buy off them again.

As for the tablesaw,...

You're not building the McDonald Jones Bronte by any chance? We're heading down that path and once it's complete I'll be looking at an American Barn, around 9m x 14m.

Ill be checking out the stell...

It's a beautiful saw. I've had mine for over 2 years now. I've added a Wixey digital fence readout which has been absolutely fantastic.

You definitely won't be lifting it off the trailer yourself....

I've been using a cheapish PVA from Mitre 10 (as opposed to my Titebond) to glue some polystyrene to plywood for my sons train layout. It works pretty well, try it on some test pieces first.

I installed the Wixey. I looked at the igaging at the time but can't recall why I decided on the Wixey.

Had it for 2 years now and I love it. Install process was pain free, and it's...

Hi,

I'll be heading to Japan in the next few months and will be working out of Yokohama. I'll have 4 free days so thought I should pick up from chisels, and I can do day trips from there. Its been...

I filled out a 'Contact Us' form on their website. Their follow up replies came from [email protected]

I had awesome service from them. Needed a part for their router fence that I stripped the thread of. Sent them an email, sorted, shipped for free (free part and free shipping), and was with me in...

This is what I do. I've got an LED floodlight above my tablesaw and one above my router table. Both hooked up to bluetooth power outlets. I just carry the small remote in my pocket and press a button...

Hi Fletty, what do you use? Cool daylight or daylight white? How do you find it for bench work?

They are beautiful chisels. A little tip, I took some fine paper and softened the long edges of the chisels. I found myself cutting my fingers on the sharp sides.

I think I bought mine from Bunnings. It was someone's brand of 'Carpet Tape'. Thin, and strong.

I recently moved from the triton router table to a Kreg table and fence and love it. I'm using a Triton router.

As mentioned earlier I attended Matt Kenney's kumiko class on Thursday, and went to the show yesterday with my young family.

The classes were great, I also wanted to do the inlay course with Vic...

I attended Matt Kenney's 1 day Kumiko class and certainly wasn't disappointed! It was a fantastic day and picked up some new skills for someone who is mainly power tool focused.

I love these. I never had one as a kid, although a friend had one in a steam roller. My 4 year old son loves steam trains and can tell you how a steam engine works in great detail.

I went on Sunday. I missed having Screw It Screws and Timbecon there. But, if the new organiser didn't buy out the show then maybe we wouldn't have had one at all this year. So here's hoping it grows...

If you are thinking about getting one, I'd head to the show whether you buy it there or not. After watching a couple of demos by Col, you'll pick up lots of tips and tricks that you won't get from...

I wanted to get to Classic Hand Tools (classichandtools.co.uk) while over there but they were closed for a long weekend - I had some stuff shipped to our office instead. Have a look on their website...

I've got the Kreg top and fence on top of a pine frame which I'm yet to fill in with cupboard and drawers.

I've had it about 3 mo this and have found both to be very good. I mounted a Triton...

Yes. I've got a post on here from a few years ago, although its not much value now because the pics had disappeared. I just couldn't get a decent sliding dovetail joint - eventually found the cause...

I've just built my own stand and put a Kreg table top and Kreg fence on it. I love it. While assembling one of the fence components, I stripped some thread - was my fault. After an email to Kreg,...

Spot on Chris. The Illawarra show was small last year, but not really too much smaller than what the Sydney show now is, especially given it was their first show!!!
Good luck to the Illawarra show...
