Hi mate

Sendle is my go to for any and everything less letters. Love that they are getting popular! Would you be able to quote postage to Townsville, 4812?

Cheers

James

Hi qwertyu

Do you have the dimension and weight of the packages? Also your postcode? Just want to do a quick postage cost check.

Cheers

James

That is hilarious! Best part of the ad:

"We would like to remind you that the buying of the GMO antique may be an investment with a far greater yield than the one of the investment gold."

Not a hand tool, but well overpriced timber here...

At $652.17/m the cubic price is $196,556.33. Unless there has been a market jump since I looked last I'd say it is a little overpriced!

Nice work!

^What he said!

I have purchased a lot through fine-tools.com and can assure you they are a great outfit. Your order will arrive, however can take quite a while. from memory my orders took 3-4 weeks. Part...

What about a nice assortment of pastries? You can't go past a good Danish, surely!

I bought an entire combo from them which arrived in three boxes (four I suppose if you count the conversion!)

I had the same, however minus the apologetic tone and wanting to fix it for me! After explaining the same thing very carefully in over a dozen emails (and chasing up for over a month) they finally...

Clamps really are a great example. They are bulky, heavy and long, and cost an absolute mint to ship if it is done in small lots. I bought my clamps from overseas and ended up still ahead by about...

I have to agree with you regarding the shipping costs being excessive. They seem significantly inflated.

If they do that to me I will be sending some pretty directed words their way. Thanks for the heads up and I'll post later to see if they do the same to me.

Amazon is not a good indicator of postage costs as they have negotiated massively discounted international shipping rates with DHL and other carriers. Add to that there would be far more traffic...

You are quite correct! Postage was an absolute killer at $110.00, but I designed my chess board around figured maple and wenge so I closed my eyes and just bought it. They are quite thick...

Rob

That would be interesting. Is there a link on how to bleach it out?

Cheers

In terms of a native, common timber that often has figure I think I'd have to throw my lot in with Harry72 and say red gum. You won't find pieces with colour like the ones attached tho, hence why I...

I like the rules and am pretty flex on timings, however if it can be slightly longer that would be good as I am currently getting some freighted to me (Darwin has no good timber yard options that I...

Thanks for the first hand input - if that's the case the Government should look to regulate that as opposed to Gerry Harvey's import GST suggestion which was thankfully scrapped as not feasible. The...

Sorry, but that is a slippery slope argument I just don't buy.

There are no prizes so there aren't any logistics issues with you joining... New Zealand is our seventh state anyway isn't it? :U

I bet he couldn't do it...

Motion seconded!

I'm in!

Submission to the Productivity Commission inquiry into the retail sector - CHOICE

Just a quick snapshot outlining what we've been talking about. I look forward to the article next month!

I think a box competition is a great idea - looking at those galleries is what convinced me to join this forum!

It looks superb! Thanks again and obviously no worries about the wait!

Just so you know same machine can be found here about two hundred dollars cheaper:

That is a very fair point that I often gloss over when making the decision to buy overseas! It would be interesting to get a first hand look into the reasons for the differences from a retailer. To...

Too true, however US citizens also have lower income tax rates/cost of living/housing market. Not saying I would ever move or want to live there, but there are definite pros to being in the US.

As mentioned here are the dimensions. The inner radius has a slight 20 degree bevel on each side, however I would be able to grind that with my fake Dremel. Ideal material is high carbon...

Thanks all for the replies. I've done a little bit of reading (no regulation, just forums) about it and it does not appear a hard and fast rule the riving knife should be exactly the width or a hair...

Hi Ray

It is all a matter of expediency for me right now. I probably could go and do that, but I would have to invest more time than what it is worth to source the steel, buy the files to then...

Thank you for the suggestion. I have sent a quote request to two companies and will see what they come back with. For reference is that price for both or each?

Thanks

James

Hi all

This is my first post in the metalwork section so apologies if this is the wrong area. I would like two riving knives made for my table saw as I am currently experiencing a few issues with...

Really nice work! I especially like the Huon Pine and Blackwood box - it has very clean lines.

I am happy with dividing it up by price - I think your logic there is quite sound!

PM sent... thanks again!

Clinton... I have found Darwin to be lacking in the woodworking department previously! What do you do for timber supply? Cheers for the offer to loan some stuff; I think I'll be right for saws and...

In addition to the Two Cherries chisels I bought previously (the order went through without me being able to change it :~) I have bought 1 LAJ plane with 2 spare blades so I can chop and change it's...

Thanks to all for the comments - I completely agree with everything that was said! Rather than justify with false excuses I will admit this is sort of my personality and it is a curse for my wife! I...

Thank you all for the advice. I think I will hold off on the plans for now, as I have a few electric sanders that can bear the brunt of the work. My new topic of interest now is bench accessories. I...

Ian, thanks for the advice. I had placed my order today for the chisels, however have just fired off an email with some changes as per your advice. Hopefully they can accommodate it.

I did look...

Thank you for the advice. I would be happy with second hand chisels, but am definitely attracted by the convenience of buying the chisels all in one hit (basically, I don't have to explain multiple...

Thanks for the replies so far. I am currently looking at Two Cherries and for around $380-$400 (delivered to Australia) I can get:
