It outlines the calculations needed on page 3. Thank you,

Yes, that is showing off, you deserve it, v nice! Had a look at your other videos too, you're a handy bloke to know (with some serious machinery)!!

Thanks for the offer, appreciated, but I weighed the lid (open the lid a fraction and shoved put the bathroom scales in between) and it only came out at about 25kg.

Sorry about the corny title!

I've just purchased a 2nd hand 5x3 trailer with metal hood/canopy.
It is currently opened with muscle power and held up with a stick. Gas struts would be an ideal...

as many of you are having a trip down memory lane.......here's a clip from this afternoon after school. Not much has changed.

Keep your Billy Cart ideas coming in. Taking notes.

thanks for the tip, there are no washers under these, will do! It seems as though the bolt holes on the bracket are too close to the axle. Once the nuts move out of square, they rub on the axle...

I've just made a 'rough' version of an old style Billy Cart for my sons. I got the 3/8" wheels and axle from Bunnies for about $40 (4 wheels, 2 axles). After about 4km test, they run rough with...

Yes, and easy to do.

My wifes 40th prompted me to put aside several project guitars and turn to the boxes.

Here they are. Huon & QLD Red Cedar. Paua shell inlay. Barrel hinges 5mm epoxy glued. Royal Blue Flocking...

Thanks for the information Roger - just what I was after.
Woodworking on the York Peninsula-you got it made mate!

any takers?

All the best with that I hope you enjoy reading! I wouldn't mind a set myself.

Thanks for the link, it's been a 5 week wait so far (although it's never been that long usually) from Stew Mac (probaby sitting on someones desk in customs)

I'm about to have a go at some engraving "Happy Birthday etc etc" on a handmade box I've just finished (Huon+Queensland Red Cedar).

I have a Dremel and have a Stewart Macdonald Router Base on the...

I've tried gidgee (I like it a lot).

Northern Box anyone?

I have just cut some Tassie Blackwwod down for a couple of necks. The offcuts look perfect for a fretboard.

Also did the same with some Northern Box (heavy heavy heavy).

Has anyone used...

I use Feast Watson Sander Sealer to fill the grain on open pore guitar bodies (eg American Ash)

Although it says paint with a brush, let it dry then sand, I apply with a rag to get a thinner coat....

thanks, I did a search and came across this thread

seems to answer my questions, thanks

thanks appreciate that

I have a heap (yes heap) of 'dark red meranti' (Pacific Maple). Excellent condition, very old, heavy and dark red in colour.

Now I know its not of the caliber of Mahogany, however, I was...

no fly zone imposed in shed - no more flying pieces of wood - very careful with this cut. pics show the mottled growth ring.

last pic shows my off-sider giving his professional opinion

I've done another cut perpendicular to the tangent of the growth ring.

It took me a little longer than expected as I imposed a 'no fly zone' in my shed on large hunks of timber (flying from the...

past the bench, through the roller door, past the mop top tree and smack into the back fence - only about 8m!

anyway onto another cut!

I gave it a go. Pics show the cut line and the result. By the way the mangled piece of wood was a result of me rushing and not holding the wood correctly - it flew across the shed and hit the...

here's a fresh cut.

the smell..well I'm no connoisseur, but it had a soft pine/sweet/wood smell.

I guess that description is next to useless.

By the looks of the end grain it seems quite...

thanks

the grain i agree looks like meranti, but the weight? it's noticeably heavy. My experience with meranti has been on the 'lighter side'

what about red mahogany?

Red mahogany |...

the jigsaw is a handy tool but is pretty crude for straight work.

Tip: I often put metal cutting blades when I want to use it for more 'careful' wood work. It won't jump around so much - but I...

Please could you help me ID this timber. I have estimated the weight based on the piece I had = 850kg/m3

Reddish, close grain consistant throughout, slight darker grey lateral lines irregualrly...
