Hi, Thanks guys, for your suggestions. As well as a strong glue that handles sustained tension, I need one that dries slowly, to allow time to glue joints totalling up to nearly 3 m, involving...

Yeah, thanks again, all. I'd still like to get hold of the DAP W/W plastic resin, I guess since I'm used to it. It's inexpensive, easily managed, and quite strong enough. I found the Glue Guru in NZ...

hi Bill, I've thought for a while there must be some feasible way to convert a power saw into a table saw. Like the Auto Superstore has a Rockwell power saw, 1200 watt & 185 mm blade for just $49 in...

How about just mm , then everyone's happy? If Americans or anyone else are not sure what it means, they can look it up, eh? :U

Yeah, Dwano, welcome again, mate! :) I'm in Mayfield 2304, & my main WW interest is in making (& playing) folk harps, of a rather rare sort, it happens (see my thread in this forum). Hope to get to...

Yerah, mate thanks again, I'll look into the Techniglue.
Cheers.

Ok, I'll check 'em out. Still can't find anyone who imports DAP Weldwood plastic resin glue, which I've used before with good results. Shall keep trying all options.

Yes, mate, you'll enjoy this site. yeah, your bench looks great. You'll probably be asked about the lumbers you get there which we don't here, such as the black ash. I presume your pine is like the...

Welcome, Trudi, hope you enjoy this site. I'm in Newcastle area too, Mayfield, to be specific, & my main interest in woodworking is making folk harps (please see my intro thread). I only started this...

Hi Woodies, can anyone tell me of a good, inexpensive glue that withstands high tension please?
I make harps (pls. see my post in the Welcome Wagon) & need a glue that will cope with the 200 or more...

Yes, thanks Tom for your suggestions, I shall check 'em out.
I might say I've found that with my low tension harps, I have to be careful re the weight/mass; like an aircraft, they have to be strong...

Well, Tom, I sure appreciate your message. Ok, I get my strings, tuning pins -actually just regular zither pins @ 40c. each, brass bridge pins, & soundboard eyelets/grommets from Robinsons harp shop...

Yeah guys & dolls, I've just joined, & am looking forward to learning new skills, sharing the ones I have, & hopefully getting some more good gear.
I've been a muso nearly all my life, thanks to my...

Solid tops may give twice the volume of a plywood one, mate, but have you any data showing this?
I understand the difference is a deal smaller, say 20% or less. it depends on the specs. of the...

Yeah, mate, I've thought for a while if good wood is so scarce, why doesn't someone work with the tree removalists to salvage suitable logs for furniture making, tonewoods, turning, etc.? In many...

Hi all. I lived in Belize, Central America, for 6 years until May '12. Ziricote is a boldly figured very hard wood (like rosewood) that grows in Central American rainforests. It should be quite...
