From memory, theres about 4 different sizes, I dont remember how or what the measurements represented, and they ranged from around $40 to $90AUD, though that is from my memory:C

I agree, the bump feed is a PITA, so, I'm using the Stihl Auto feed head, its AWESOME! and it retrofitted straight to my Honda:)

So dissapointing:~

I've had two Sthil brushcutters which were both great machines, good power and generally reliable. As a model aeroplane enthusiast I can say that small two stroke engines require constant tweaking in...

Hey Konilio,

I use forstner bits in end grain quite regularly with good results, just remember, clamp it well and calculate your speed and you shouldnt have a problem

Hey Matt,

I usually use duct tape (as you suggested) when pouring resin, and I have never had a problem.

Hey Thanaka,

Jump on ebay and get the bearings in the size you want. I will soon be building a slab dresser of my own and am not happy that the Skate Board Bearings will be HD enouogh, so I...

You may have misunderstood what I meant Paul. When I said try the imperial equivelent, I meant the T wrench equivelent. for example, if you require a 3mm T wrench, but you can only get imperial, use...

You could always use the Imperial equivelent (this would be my preference). You could also cut a piece from an "L" shaped allen key and put it into a socket and drive it with your standard socket...

That ones a bit of a mystery at the moment!, The boot definately went into the shed, but it never came out? All in a days work for a 2 year old I guess, and given these circumstances, yep it could...

Hi Guys n Gals,

Ive been on the forum for a while now but spend most of my time over in the musical instruments section. As my interest has recently been focussed on a Jarrah dining table I've...

I Reckon you can't go past a good quality chunk of Sassafras. For information and good wood, talk to Bob at Tasmanian Tonewoods, he will set you straight! He's the main sponsor of this part of the...

I Couldn't agree more!:rolleyes:


Looks like your thread got hijacked Arran!, lets try and bring it back to what matters. Hows you design/build coming along?

Ox

Second!

Good luck my friend, I look forward to seeing the outcome, and I hope you make your millions. If you nail it I think you have earned it!

Pete

Yeah Dude, Go with what Andy B is saying. What your proposing is an awesome idea, but if it were genuinely practical, we would probably have seen it by now from one of the major Brands. . . .maybe an...

Hey Guys, Found a BAS350 Carbatec Bandie for sale on the market Place, going for $500 with a stack of blades and bits. Ive got the same model, a bargain if you ask me.

Can actually pick em up for around 35 bucks on ebay, still expensive in the grand scheme, but worth it I reckon! yeah gold would be nice, but yeah, the time and money!

I'm a big fan of the Fender LSR Roller nut. They say it can offer more sustain, can't really tell a lot of difference but I like the idea of a "no friction" approach. I always accompany this with a...

That sounds probabaly the safest this to do if you dont want to end up having to join wood etc. I think in Perth Carbatec is probably your quickest and best bet for your wood when you come to it...

Martin,

Some interesting comments.

The point I was trying to get across with the statement about neck through design was that it is general knowledge that a neck through design gives better...

You simply get the Timber wide enough and thick enought for two necks, cut it length ways down the middle leaving a block at either end large enough to carve your headsock from. This way there is...

Thought that might throw the cat among the pigeons!
