Interesting that Ozito carry a longer warranty than most others.

I have over the last year that the Bunnings stores near me have deteriorated. Lack of stock, poor quality, poor service etc. The nearest Masters stores are a good 20 minute drive away. Since they...

Used to go to the Shed even with the expensive and awkward parking. Went to the first Showgrounds event and was very dissapointed. Have not been again until today. Caullfield Race Course was great....

The manual says 20V however their web site talk about 14.5V. With all the talk about fibbing outside Europe on voltages who knows for sure. The recharge time is quoted at 3 - 5 hour

Couldn't help myself.
Was in Masters in Box Hill today. Amongst their sale items was a six piece set with two batteries - drill, trim saw , rotary tool, torch, reciprocating saw, oscillating tool...

Found using gloves often makes the whole procedure worse. Folder the paper in three now and use a little caution. Adds to the fun of wood turning.

There were at least two versions sold at wood shows some years ago. One was expensive the other reasonable cheap. Needles to say I had cheap version for some years. Was very good until the shaft...

Speedos are not allowed to read over. They can read up to 10% under. If your speedo is showing 100 and the GPS a higher speed then I suggest you do not have the specified tyres fitted or there have...

Happy Christmas to all.

Looks great

Has reversible lathes

Always look forward to the start of the month. Thanks to all the sponsors.

Put a new door on the bedroom last week. Went to install the door knob. Required a particular size drill bit. Off the Bunnings and every other hardware store nearby. Don't make that size bit. Had to...

I'm in.

Go to Costco mainly for their cheap and delicious Tasmanian mussels. Some things are cheaper, some are dearer. Their range is greater and generally their quality leaves the others for dead.

Nearly had the chance to buy one about 1969. Unfortunately bought another car two weeks before it went for sale. Would still have it today otherwise. Original radiator, side valve V8. Knobby tires on...

Drill slowly. Clean often. Take it slowly at the end to avoid chip out.

The most important thing is you and your family are safe.

I made some pens up last year by cutting sections from red, yellow and black acyclic blocks and gluing them together. Also made some Celtic ones using slivers of red, yellow and black. Came up ok.

So far so good. I was happy with the true grind on the dry wheel and still use it for some other items. The wet stone setup I find needs a little back pressure to avoid the base slipping out on...

Spent some time today sharpening tools and trying them out. Must say I am impressed. System easy to operate and does what claimed. Have added a page on each. Hope it is readable.

I will be having a good play this weekend. So far the results of sharpening a spindle gouge have been excellent. The 909 comes with jigs for chisels and small knives and works well. The Tru Grind is...

Went out Tuesday and purchased the 909 wet stone sharpener from Masters, then to Pop's Shed and purchased the Woodcut True Grind system for wet grinders. Works a treat and a fraction of the cost of...

I think you nailed it.

Beautiful timber. In awe.

I have fun making sets for a local Indigenous Dance Group. Usually from salvaged tree branches to keep them looking natural and old world.

Well done.

Good to see a great ship taking life again.

Have been dealing with Pop's Shed since they opened. Can't talk too lightly of them.

Unfortunately don't have any opposition to the local Bunnings. What annoys me most is if you need 5 things to complete a job they will only have 4 on the shelf.

The printed papers had a large workforce, buildings, paper, printing ink, printers, delivery trucks etc etc. They still made large profit. The online versions still have all the advertising without...

Pop's Shed has a good one.

Can only talk about Melbourne. Enjoyed the show when it was at Jeff's Shed, except for the parkling. Went to the Showgrounds the first year and was surprised at the lack of exhibitors. Spoke to some...

I do no have any issues re personal details being made available. Lat year was my first time and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Would not like to see it restricted. Lodging x number of...

Try Pop's Shed

Had a huge lemon scented gum removed a few years ago. Go them to leave the large parts. Still turning bowls, pens and whatever.

Parcel arrived from Florida today.Lee, from Anglewood Penworks has done a superb job on a piece of local pine with great definition. Also favored as his girlfriend kindly included two acrylic blanks...

If you are talking about Vic rubbish.

Beautiful work

I don't like the Shed due to parking issues but at the same time the event at the Showgrounds went down hill. Stopped going. May go this year to see if it has picked up.

Bought an LED lamp from Bunnings that has a clip at the base. Attach it wherever I want. Works well on both lathes.

I try and check, but most of the timber I use now is recycled from prunings and trees down. Just scored some oak branches that were pruned, the tree said to be at least 100 years old.

Arrived today from Ironwood. Quality A1. Pictures do not do it quality.
