Thanks but nah it's too small

All good ideas. Thanks
I'll now ponder my next move.

Not without buying a much wider timber and then there'd be more wastage.
I'm now wondering if I should just expect to replace the timber every few years or remake the ramps using gal steel angle...

Like this 35x70x600 long

I need to replace a little framing under small ramps I have in front of my shed.
I believe H4 is the right stuff since it sits on the ground. What I'm wondering about is, does the treatment go right...

Just getting this off my chest cos I get really annoyed at bad quality products.
Spear & Jackson are crap saws. I had a brand new one in the back shed as a spare, hardly used it. A year later I...

My jointer could do with new blades.
I'm wondering where's the best place to buy them in Aust or NSW even ?
There's not a lot available from online and then very expensive.
Mine are 8" x 1".

These pieces should also be run over a jointer to make sure they're square.

Originally I was after thoughts on rip table saw blades but I also wanted a rip hand saw.

Well I guess good thing do come to those who wait.
Last week end I picked up a 26" Disston (Canada) rip hand saw 3 tpi for $5.
Some dim bat painted the handle with silver paint, but I cleaned that...

Ok well I don't own a scraper, so I just went looking on Youtube. Plenty of vids there showing how to make one from an old saw.
Looks like I've got another project to do.

I notice everyone pushes...

I had to try the multi-tool because it's already on the wall and other sanders won't fit where I need to go.

Sooo...I should be able to wipe acetone over it to soften it ?

Should be dry enough.
I glued it 3 days ago, it's been on the wall for 2 days and this afternoon was when I tried to sand it.

Howdy, I glued a couple of timber pieces together by clamping them down to my bench top and using another piece of scrap on top. I used glad wrap on each side of the joint so it wouldn't stick to my...

Good idea.
Done.

I might try to expand on the explanation.
I'm resurrecting a staircase.
It was completely covered with carpet. treads, risers and tread ends.
I'm going to cover it with a hall runner which means...

I have an interior wall external corner that needs a filler. In case I didn't explain that properly, I mean it's an external corner inside the house. Lol
At the corner, wallboard meets timber. In...

QLD Maple is a good choice. Maton guitars use it in a lot of their instruments.

Can I just say, .... If you choose a timber that's used for making musical instruments, you will get the best sound out of the chimes.
It will be well worth the little extra money. Musical...

What constitutes a rip saw blade ?
I'm talking circular here but I assume a hand saw should reflect the same.
Is it enough to say the TPI of the blade is the only factor ? or are the teeth set...

Ok post #11 should be fixed now.
Mind you, I don't know why they call them split nuts. They're not split at all.
Maybe the name is because they pull the split in the timber to clamp the blade. :C

Yeah don't know what happened there. The pics were showing til I went back to edit some text and now it just shows the pics as an attachment ... Weird !!!
Do you see links for the pics ?

I went to our local timber supplier today and he gave me (free) this piece to make the handle. he said he thought it is either blackbutt or spotted gum. Nice piece but heavy and around 45mm thick....

Ha ha ha ha ha ha !!

Yep that's it, Thos.Turner exactly the same markings as mine.
I picked my 3 up from a garage sale a couple of weeks ago, 5 bucks each. They have all been recently sharpened, in fact still have the...

Yes you're right about the missing piece. The other side has it though so I can copy.
I have another couple of theses saws. This one is 9", the others are 12" and 14". I might be able to turn up...

I purchased the Sutton metric and imperial sets (around$70 ea) from Bunnings 18 months ago.
Not happy with them. Small drills blunted quickly, many drills slightly bent, sharpened offset and drill...

The thing is, people are now using power tools that turn the wood chips into fine dust.

Just wondering what type of wood is the handle on this saw ?
The other side is broken and I want to make a new one for it.

After looking for ages to find something I always get my wife to look. Another pair of eyes will find it straight away.

I will have to test to see that drilling the corners doesn't pull and damage around the laminex. I guess I could allow for it in the routing template and just plunge them before routing.
Second...

Ah ha, that's it ... the idea I needed

I know what to do now for this situation.

Mark the square for a neat fit.
Drill each corner 2.2mm in from each side with a 6mm drill.
Route using a 6 or...

The lip is the back edge of the bezel that clamps the switch in when the nut is tightened.

Since my top is around 32mm thick, I will have to drill through with a pilot hole, route...

Unfortunately I cannot trim the push button as it will spoil the looks and impede its operation.
The square recess need to be pretty neat because the push button only has a 2.5mm lip to cover...

I'm sure it's been asked before.
I'm building a jukebox.
I already finished the table top part where the push buttons will go. 32mm chip board with a laminex top.
The buttons turned up yesterday...

I'm guessing it must be able to do much better than that. It comes on a spool about 50mm diameter.
I'm hoping for a 20mm radius.

So by Vinyl edging, are you referring to T moulding ? or is there a flat vinyl edging ?, I haven't seen it.

Yeah I thought about using T moulding and I own a router but I'm not sure I want to spend $50 to buy the cutter.

I am building a cabinet out of 16mm melamine particle board.
I intend to place a curve on one corner.
What is the minimum radius that melamine edging will cope with ?

Yeah I was wondering if it might be some sort of scam, although that link you gave me shows a few reasonable plans.

Has anyone signed up for this ?

Sorry I didn't get back earlier.
The holes are 62mm centres and are 6g self-tapper treads, evident by the metal around the holes being pulled out above the surface. I'll just level them off.
Yes,...

Another garage sale tool I'm gonna clean up and use.
It's a Silex No.78.

For now, I'm using a shifting spanner on the bolt head welded to the primary shaft for lift.

Ok so it seems most are putting on their gardens. I don't have any gardens yet giving to someone who has sounds like a good idea. Just gotta watch the soil's acidity levels.

About those rods...

Just looking for ideas to get rid of or other uses for shavings from a jointer or thicknesser ?
The shavings from these machines very quickly fill the bag of my dust extractor making for a large...

I was hoping it was for outfeed table adjustment because mine is around 10 thou out.

OK thanks for that.
I guess I might look at making another riving knife then and work out a way to make it quick change.

Thanks for that Treecycle but unfortunately that's not the same model as mine and the parts are very different.
I know I could make another riving knife for trench cuts, but to make one the same...
