Thank you for the suggestion, however the manufacturer states that using nails or staples will void the warranty.

Unfortunately they don't suggest a method for passive weighting during dying time...

About to glue down a whole house of engineered hardwood floor. Flooring is 133mm wide prefinshed 3mm spotted gum on 12mm ply.

Substrate is termi-floor particle board.

Glue will be ultraset HP....

Yep, I bought some a few years back thinking it would make nice boxes. It changed shape every night [emoji1787][emoji1787]

With the obvious "check for nails" warning, i either cut the faces with a circular saw with an "old" blade, and/or use an electric plane (with the cheapy disposable blades) before putting it anywhere...

Congratulations on a success Megalo celebrates 35 years with the world's longest screen print attempt

Having worked on a few old places over time I have found many that did not have "standard" sizes, as much of it was hand formed. if you need something 200 x19 (or 8" x 2" in old money) you really...

a small piece of fibro/harditex will do, you can use a cheap chisel to shave it to thickness, or there are plastic packers available from bunnies

Ian,

I am interested in what difference you think the taper might make? If the set is constant for the length of the saw then it is unlikely to affect the kerf from my understanding, or is the...

"So it costs $35 to have a small saw sharpened now? http://d1r5wj36adg1sk.cloudfront.net/images/smilies/sad/shock.gif No wonder so many have turned to disposable blades......

I looked at the Bosch units but ended up with Milwaukee, ease of connection to dust extraction being a key element of decision making. Happy with it.

Have you tried getting Telstra to check the copper by lodging a fault with them, if you were getting better before you should. I had to argue with them for a bit to have it done, as they reckoned my...

I have bodged my way thru until recently with handplanes and a cheap thicknesser, but recently acquired a Jet combo purely because the time spent with planes meant that I really struggled to find...

So I stumbled across a Jet JPT-310 secondhand for a reasonable price, so it took up residence in my garage last week. Why a combo, primarily space, with a 52" tablesaw, an 800mm square router table,...

Yes the drawer fronts have panels, the ones we did were done as a four panel door and then cut into drawer faces to keep symmetry and the end result looked like the photo posted earlier, same applies...

The last time I did a kitchen was many years ago. To maintain some symmetry, the stiles for the drawers matched the doors, and the rails were half as thick, after being cut, where each rail made a...

No need to be sorry about the thumb, they nailed it back on with that stainless spike and it sort of works, gave me a whole new level of respect for power tools though ;)

This thread has got me thinking, with some really good advice forthcoming. I have gleaned a number of things from it, and where I am at now is;

here a while back I had similar issues, and based on recommendations from a couple of tradie mates I acquired an 18V Milwaukee kit. In part due to price, and in part due to a 5 year warranty on the...

Yes you can, but it is not recommended, and certainly would not comply with building code. If what you are building is effectively a large pallet, and you anticipate replacing that bearer as...

Paul,

My reference to "good size" was more in respect of the handle, I would think that a 12" length with 2" of "cut" would do the job.

Planemaker,

Using that site as a reference, my hands...

On my wish list for tools is a nice carcass saw, but having looked around the Canberra show the other day I have realised that my ogre sized hands means I do not fit the handles on the off the shelf...

I have seen the Kreg plate, it basically looks the same. Comments on this forum suggest that the pre-drilled hole does not align on the TRA001 but does fit the smaller models. Drilling the plate is...

I will sell the Veritas one and buy another pair ;)

Just a snippet of info I sort of glossed over in the original post is that the angle that you locate the holdfast has much to do with how stable the workpiece is. As I was planing the first bits I...

I looked at the pre-made tables and decided to build my own, a 38mm top with laminate on both sides with an alloy plate. The top is mounted on a torsion box made from non-structural form ply and...

I have the TRA001, mounted to an alloy plate. It works just fine without a lift, as discussed above, the adjuster does wind down when using it, but it is easy to deal with, before I release it to...

OG,

My bench is 65mm thick, and I have 19mm holes, at 45 you should be fine, but I am no expert. My reading on here suggests that the thicker the bench, the less friction you get with holdfasts,...

The slab was slightly longer than the bench, and I haven't got around to acquiring an end vice yet as there have been other priorities. My bench size was constrained by the amount of...

what is the purpose of the slot? If just for pressure relief, a single drill hole may suffice. Have you considered laminating the frame? You could rout the slots before laminating? 4mm x 80mm deep...
