Has anyone considered replacing the table on their aldi tablesaw? It looks like it just screws on, and having a bigger table with standard slots would help a lot.

I really like the look of the legs on that box, im just not too sure how stable it would be. Maybe if you had three of them in more of a tripod fashion?

I have an old hitachi tr-12 and a slightly newer ryobi.

Any ideas on where I can get a metric bushing set?

Im about to pull the trigger on 3040 3 Axis USB CNC Router Engraver Engraving Cutter Machine Milling USB Port that bad boy, which seems similar to yours, so I will let you know how I get on.

I vote for the make your own box joint jig. I have made one and its cheap and easy. Get the key and spacer correct and accurate and you will have accurate, repeatable joints. The way I make them,...

Meh, just ebay it.

Not my rebuttal, but convincing enough that I now think its a silly idea.

Anecdotes are not data. Im sorry you couldnt make a chinese supply chain work, but to say that companies dont make money by getting parts made in china is just sticking your head in the sand. Do you...

Because they believe they can make more money that way.

I have made a box that has uneven top and bottom. Whats the best way to square these off, given that I dont have a table saw.

I would pick a project, and then go out and buy the stuff you need for that project. Making a router table is not too difficult either. Im still bad at woodworking and I have made three, if you could...

I tend to agree with Steve Ramsey though. You need to put more of yourself into the video. You are one of the selling points and you need to put your personality on show as much as the...

People use bench grinders for sharpening for a reason. Like with all woodworking, having sharp tools helps a lot, and its commonplace to be sharpening each tool several times in a turn session,...

Cheers Bob.

Not looking to make a monster sander. maybe 40cm-50cm wide for the first edition, which would be more of a learning experience. Not opposed to more work, as long as I learn things from...

I have been giving some thought to making a drum sander, but have hit a hitch in that im not too sure where to source my motor from. Keeping in mind that I am a cheapskate and want to keep this as...

Sorry duder, I dont see sigs. Turn em off on every forum I talk on.

People who say that business is efficient clearly have not had much experience with business.

If you would like to start a conversation about the similarities between Nazi Germany and Current day Australia, I have a fair amount of to post on that topic as well. There is no doubt that there...

Thanks for the kind words.

My nephew did have a blast playtesting them.

Correct. It appears that people still love to whine about the government

Lets have a closer look at some of these, shall we? I took the liberty of reordering them slightly
Off to a good start, I...

Actually, the dowel wont be capped. I make the axle too long, then sand the remainder down so its smooth with the wheel. Then its painted over.

But thanks anyway =)

Yeah, im assuming I would need to align everything up each session, which im fine with. I just didnt want to have to align everything up each wheel.

Thanks for a bunch of great suggestions. I think robbys will be the best/easiest. My drillpress rotates around the post, which doesnt help things. Would love to use the lathe method, but I dont have...

I am going to have to make a lot of wheels shortly, and while I have a wheel cutter, im not happy with the size of the hole it leaves for the axle, and I want to enlarge it, accurately. My current...

Yeah. My sister just had a kid and gets me to make things for him, and if he enjoys them, she sells them in her shop. It works well.

If you are just starting out, think about making toys. You will need a scroll saw, and a drill as a minimum. Preferably a drill press, but you could get by with a jewelers drill as well. And you will...

There was a place in Radelaide that sold replacement tailstocks. Gimmie a bit and i will see if i can track them down again.

Well, that took less time than what i thought it would.

Fun Fact, according to Australian law, a warranty lasts for as long as a reasonable person would expect it to last, with a minimum of one year.

If you are going to be making a lot of wheels, you can get bits for a drill press that will cut them consistently for you. Mcjings and carbatec have them.

Hi Ben

Personally I would download sketchup for free, then go to the 3d warehouse in that. Type in desk or wooden desk and there are immense amounts of free models that you can get and play with....

Haha chillax duder, it was supposed to be a light hearted comment on the oft commented "problem" of an ever expanding tool collection.

I will make sure to only male super serious replies from now...

not seeing the problem??

It's not nothing though. Colesworth jack up the price of other products to cover the cost of these rewards scheme, and sell your data on.

Thanks for the link. Most informative.

Also is there a best way to deal with forks? Or are they too much for a beginner Turner anyway?

No seeds or leaves left to take a picture of, sorry. Here is a close up of the bark.
