Howdy anodyne, you have stumbled onto my hi-tek security system
( cobwebs and sawdust) works better than the CIA's invisible talc,
nobody gets in or out without leaving a trace. Also you can...

Hi Jeff, normally not hard to catch, but he was a bit cranky this time.
I don;t think he liked going through the pulley. Has now gone off to lick
his wounds, surprisingly no signs of external...

Hi guys, had a bit of a problem with the drill press today, started fine,
jammed then refused to go again. In attached pic note the twisted
belt. Do you think I should increase the tension ...

Howdy DM89, checkout shadowclad exterior ply, manufactured and
treated as an exterior cladding also construction/bracing rated.

Thanks Pacman

Hi there, thought some of you millers might be be interested in this one,
check it out on liveleak.com "felling a big feller". I'm sure one of
you tech savvy chaps will manage to post a link.

Don't suppose you have got access to a sand blaster, might give the
effect you are looking for.

Howdy edge, Salvaged a pile of silky oak and hoop pine a few years
back, it had been stored for over 30 yrs and was black from possums
. Put it all through the thicknesser and only had to...

I feel cheated. Keep checking mail and NOTHING!!

Howdy woodkid, If your interested PM me an address, and I'll send
you a crosscut slice of conkerberry.
Cheers Mick

Maybe Oregon

Hi Paul, As per the chopper video, hooking a bloke to the wire, thats
what I'm talking about, I drove right underneath them and kept going
so I dont know what they got up to after that. Flyover...

Hi paul, have seen them doing similar work on high voltage lines right
here in Qld. With a chopper hovering just inches from the lines I'd
hate to think what would happen if the pilot sneezed

Yep, millions of tongue and groove cabinets, bookcases etc out there.
Dont have to look to far to find them.

Old sleepers could have been treated with any number of (now banned)
chemicals.

Hi dorian, what motor and drive has it got, before committing to
rebuild check that parts are readily available. Fixing the transom
might be the least of your problems if you have to start ...

Hi Dorian, like you I am a poor boatie, most boaties are. I'm not
a builder and cant offer any advice on repairs, however with 40 yrs
on the water I can advise that when it all turns to #### it...

Hi there, it seems to be the same as lonotech, which used to come as
a spray, grease or oil. Not sure if you can stil get lanotech, so might be
a re-birth, either way it does what it says it...

Beware of lead paint

Yellow Stringybark

Possibly Silky Oak veneer

Was going to say meranti, but wondering about the heritage staircase info.

The rotary log splitter, in the links, left me with shivers down the
spine.

Curiosity got the better of me, so did a bit of googling. Also known as
Tower Tree among other names. One site shows pic of Tipuana Tipu
foliage/flowers with comment identical to this except for...

Camphor, go back tomorrow and see if they bring the rest down

Pride of Bolivia ( Tipuana tipu) commonly called yellow jacaranda in
Australia, in Queensland anyway. very fast growing so I would doubt
the timber is much chop.

Yep thats bamboo

Or ask the owner

White cedar definitely exists, timber is creamy colour with darker fawn/brown
grain pattern

Didnt pick that up, but assuming it is meant as cubic metres.
Surely 15ft 8 x 1 3/4 in any language > 1.3cm3

So has the deal been done and do you need a hand to relocate it.

Try an arm and a leg, possibly two.

Just to throw a spanner in the works, Im going Hoop Pine, I reckon
this has been stained long before the black paint was added and may
not yet be back to bare timber. Any pics of bare end grain....

Surely one stick is suitable for a plank, after all it is on the dock.

Hi Helen, no real rule of thumb as a lot depends on species, quality and
grain patterns, burl etc. As far as lots go, you might make more
by selling in smaller lots, but for convenience sake...

I was going to say that its a bit like guessing whats in the paper bag, but
now I see it is stamped honduras and your situated in Belgium. So we
might have to be blindfolded as well. Best of luck...

Nah!!! CUZ is ya Jacks sprog.

Bugger, I thought it was caws

Howdy stiffjointed, Why dont you just stick it in the market place section, with a pic and a price. I have no intention of offering good dollars for
what could be crap quality cedar.

cheers ...

Bugger!!, I have heaps of WHY that I could part with, but freight would
be a killer.
cheers Mick

Can I offer two boxes of matches.

Now if it was listed in the for sale section, I might get serious.

Redgum is red and hard, Jarah is hard and red.
That was easy, Now I'll go and take some meds.

Cheers Mick

How about beefwood, (probably not but)

Hi there Ritchie47, Yeah mate my introduction to bees was curtesy
of NSW education dept, Had to extract honey for sale at school fetes
etc, along with killing and dressing poultry and the...

Hi there, I thought beehives were painted white to reduce the
temperature inside the hive, if so does it really matter what timber
is used, IE the cheaper the better.
Oh! and also I would...

Might be tall, but it doesn't seem to have much size to it for milling

cheers mick

Im guessing a leak or condensation within the wall cavity

Hi there, any idea what the borers were treated with, could be the
source of the smell. Also could be cat urine (or some other animal),
bought some timber that had been stored for over 30 yrs and...

Hi Arry, Yep, sash clamps and never seem to have enough.

cheers Mick

Ahh!! the wonders of wood. Im going with Natural.

a bit of christmas cheer.

Merry Xmas Mick
