Due to a downsizing in my workshop I'm looking to clear out some of my timber stock.
Timber was all sourced from Greg Ward & there's some special stuff, it's a bit of hodge podge of leftovers &...

Hello all, just wondering if anyone else had noticed that certain members/member seem to be flooding the marketplace with ads, continually pushing everybody else's post further & further down the...

Thanks Paintman,
The set up of this machine was one of my major concerns seemed like the roller set up could be a very finicky process. This machine is in the top end if my budget, I did look at the...

Hey all,
Has anyone got one of these Carbatec CJT-381x, its spiral head version?
Considering one & looking for some feedback.

Cheers

If you can be sure it hasn't been treated in anyway,
which I would be surprised if this is the case. I wouldn't use it, I may be a little anal about this.

I wouldn't use pine, to soft. I prefer gums & untreated natural Aussie timbers.
I'm no expert, Aussie untreated in anyway is just my preference. Buying timber off Greg I know that the log has been...

As far as glue is concerned I use ########.

Gregory,
I was thinking maybe I might just display a couple of big ones, like the one above. As it all your timber it might be a good piece for timber colouring display.
If someone is interested...

Sliced & diced!
It's around 1200mm long so should get 2 or 3 out of it easily.

I got a spray product from Bunnings that is for white ants & borers so I have given them all a good spray. The slabs are all stored under my staircase at my factory unit so I'm building a makeshift...

Yes to big for the microwave, maybe a small nuclear bomb?
I did spray them with a surface spray which worked..... Only after they munched through the other side of the slab!

I was doing a little timber shuffling today & discovered that borers have been munching through my stock of Mackay Cedar.....:doh: I had bought enough for a large outdoor setting including chairs....

Wow, that's some nice camphor!:U

Same price as camphor?:gimme:

No worries Wongo, I'll sort it out with Greg & we will work out a suitable drop off location when I get back.

Got the thicknesser working today, although it felt & sounded like I was running boards through a cake mixer, I'm guessing new knives are required?

Thanks for your help guys..
