Hi everyone
I was wondering is anyone could tell me what this object is in the photo. Only one picture sorry. The brass plates are a little loose and actually feel as if they are sprung in place. It...

Haha. I was sure I posted this in the general forum. Ill see if I can move it.

Didn't mean to put this in the woodturning general forum :U

Hi Qwertyu

Nice table. You only mention dominoes for joinery and then others have suggested adding hardware between the hoops and the top to stiffen up the table. One of the most fundamental...

Thanks for the replies. I ended up at Bunnings and made some work but they did feel very light. I'll see how they go. Thanks again.

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone knows of a place here in WA that sells a good variety of axe handles. I've got 3x 4.5lb heads and a block splitter. Thanks

I have made a number of pieces that require mitre joints including a Jarrah waterfall edge bench that was about 700mm wide and 50 mm think. In my experience the joints only meet up nicely when the...

I might have missed the type of glue you used in the thread but if it was just white or yellow glue then consider carefully heating the joint to soften the glue and then open it up. Basic mitre...

Thanks for the tips Alex

Thanks Artful. Good thoughts. I was just hoping that my creative ideas didn't fall apart because of some issue with working with driftwood that I didn't know about. However once dry and the powdery...

Ha Ha. Thanks for the link John. I did do a bit of google searching and got bogged down by the "crafty" coat hook/ mirror frame type images and the credibility of information given. It was then that...

Hi all
I do a bit of canoe instruction here in Perth and I frequently see large pieces of Jarrah caught up in the trees along the side of the river bank. They were no doubt part of jetties, steps...

Hi all
I'm doing a repair on some Jarrah benches that are used in the dining hall of a campsite. Cost prevents a rebuild so I'm looking at pinning the loose joints and thought about trying those...

Okay final post - replaced the capacitor and everything is working perfectly. Thanks again.

Bingo. Just wasn't spinning the wheel hard enough. So looks definitely like the capacitor. Thanks for all the advice

Ross

I have by-passed the switch and removed the capacitor (or what I assume is the capacitor) and still just get a buzz from the motor. No movement at all.:?

Will do. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks. I'm guessing that would be the big black cylinder.

Hi everyone
I have a Carbatec 14inch bandsaw that is about 6 years old. Today when I switched it on the motor made a buzzing sound and the band didn't turn. It had been working perfectly well only a...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Sorry for not replying sooner but life suddenly got busy as it does. I ended up going with a plastic and felt "screw in" protector as Bunnings was the easiest place to...

Hi all
Just wondering if anybody has any great solutions to wooden chairs scratching the floorboards dilemma. Ive gone the sticky felt pads but they just don't last very long. Any ideas would be...

Thanks for the advice. The glue up went very smoothly even without an octopus. Here is idea from left field that I discovered whilst doing this job. I was doing this repair late evening and didn't...

Hi
Thanks for your post and given what you have done I thought you might be able to give me some advice.
I'm repairing a bow smokers chair and I'm up to re-gluing the leg frame. It has two side...

Taunton press have a book that can be downloaded called Building traditional kitchen cabinets by Jim Toplin. Once you know how to make a quality cabinet you will be able to then choose the extent to...

Well I bought the red tint sunnies and can now see the laser lines in even the brightest outside light. Not sure why people are critical of laser guides, I just set them as per the manual and now I...

The Polaroid sunnies didn't make any difference so I guess I'll give the Bosch glasses a try.

Hi all

I have a mitre saw with laser guides for the cut line. They are great indoors but outside they are very hard to see and on a sunny day pretty much impossible. Does anyone know of a way of...

Okay so I spent a few hours this afternoon comparing the Bosch and the Kapex. The Kapex is a nice saw and as mentioned above has a few sweet features but in terms of accuracy it didn't have anything...

Well after battling with a cheap sliding compound mitre saw for many years I decided to spend some serious money and buy the Bosch GCM 12 GDL. It's the one that uses the 2 arms for moving the saw...

Thanks for the replies. I think you are right about the grain feature causing it. My friend who I made the table for loved it so it's all worked out well. Thanks again.

Hi all

I have just made a hall table out of European Beech. It was sanded to 360 then a wipe on poly applied. Everything worked out sweet except the top that has the appearance of being blotchy. I...

Thanks for the link - it looks pretty promising and is not far from me. I checked out Bunnings and no luck there.

Yep okay it didn't go well and I managed to crack the glass by driving a pin into the edge of it. As a result I resorted to silicone for the other sections. This worked well. On reflection I reckon...

Hi all
I need a new spring for the planer guard on my M31 Casadei machine. The local Casadei agent here in Perth has shown no interest in sourcing the part for me despite two phone calls and an...

Thanks for all the assistance. Reckon I have it under control now.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Looks like the old school hammer and nail is going to resolve it best for me. Would you suggest pre drilling the timber strip just smaller than the pin to aid the...

Hi all. I have built a door that is going to to have glass inserted into it. It is a pretty standard frame a panel construction with the glass inserted into a rebate in the stiles and rails and then...

Thanks TM. Looks like the 100x100 hinges will be pretty successful. Ross

Hi all

I am installing solid timber french doors into the stairway shown in the photo attached. I want the doors and frame to be inset into the stairway about 15 - 20mm so it isn't all flush with...

Thanks for the reply. Not the news I was hoping for. You may well be right on formaldehydes being better for industrial processes

I used Resobond A3 to laminate some strips of Jarrah (900x60x3) to form the curved back of a chair. The glue has failed and some of the laminates have sprung apart, mind you some have continued to...

I have never had much like with the stain/varnish pre mixed finishes and pine is pretty notorious for uneven results though this doesn't answer the question of why your colours are so different. But...

For those of you interested I have attached a shot of the number 5 in use at the Australian School of Fine Wood and one of it taking the required full width .02 of a mm shaving. The rose wood tote...

Thanks everybody in this thread for all their offers of help. I now have the Number 5 and it works well but will still get a bit more tuning on the course.

This whole process has been a very...

Thanks for helping me out with the plane. Its a real encouragement. I guess I will communicate with Ern about postage and so forth.

Ross

I think you are right about it being too light. Any thoughts about the Minimax FS30 combination. I am looking at a second hand one for about $2000 (I have a thread abouit it elsewhere in the forum),...

I am looking at buying one of these minimax combination planers. It is about 6 years old. Was wondering if anyone has owned one and what they thought of it. The only problem I can currently see with...

Whilst looking online at planer thichnessers at the local Jet shop I noticed the Elektra Beckum HC300. Its a bit smaller then the Jet 310 (definitely lighter) but at about $2300 it could be an...

Thanks Steve

The lid isn't floating and so movement in the wood is definately the cause. The Rotto pine is not dense enough to resist the movement and so it has split down the glue line as well...
