I got mine from Hafle - or via a good hardware store near you.

I recently rearranged my workshop so the table saw, and myself are facing the open doors. I have too many nasty turns with people creeping up on me!

Do users of the Triton powered respirators wear them all the time in the workshop, or only when actually cutting, routing, sanding etc.?
Does anyone find the weight a problem?

Thanks Mark and the rest of you for that. I'll investigate
Triton.

I think I read somewhere that dust masks don't work if you have a beard.
Is that correct and if so what's the best solution?:)

This is a really marvellous series. I've made no end of items from these instructrions which are the closest thing to being foolproof I've discovered so far. I just finished a pair of bedroom side...

Hi Folks,
I thought I'd share with you my library in progress. Up to the third section now as you can see - and more to come. Someone was asking about bookshelves somewhere here recently and this...

Anybody tried that new Durabond stuff - I certrainly won't be buying any more

I wonder if there are any 'mature' (read aged!) woodworkers on the north side of Brisbane (7 km from the city) who might like to compare notes on site from time to time?:)

I find 'Tradesmans Choice' is hard to beat for general woodwork

That's really great. Probably the bestone I've seen to date. What about plans - or did you design it yourself?:)

Yes you're right I did think of this. So the verticals are bolted to the steel wall framing - and I am not storing the heavier hardwoods on this. Thanks anyway

Realise now I should have put this up in the Pics section. Get it right next time-sorry!

Though I'd share with you folks a couple of my latest projects. I got sick of looking for timber so made myself some shelves 6 - now 7since this pic was taken. Very simple four hardwood verticals...

I sharpen all my blades with sandpaper spray adhered to glass and can get them scary sharp in no time. Strongly recommend looking at that 'scary' web site.

I thought it was a great show. I am surprised they don't open at least Fri evenings for the workers.

I reckon the GMC vacuum is a great little unit. I use it for general floor vacuuming on a dailybasis and connect the long hose to my various machines around the shop. I think the trick is to empty...

I've had bad experiences with service from Australian sources. I think you'd be better to go with Rockler in the U.S. Their catalogue is a mine of information.

uote=andrewsd]Can anyone please...

I reckon you must have left a ZERO in the hours department!
Quite magnificent. Harty congratulations.

Has anyone noticed how well daughters do out of woodworking fathers!
Speaking from experience too. Yours will be suitably thrilled, hope you arn't expected to fill all the little compartments with...

Congratulations Janet - so cute. Are they earmarked for the grandchildren
perhaps?

Wow. Now that's impressive . You can be proud of yourself. And who is Terry Gordon - but pardon my ignorance?

I wonder if I am the only one who is overawed by drawings and diagrams.

And shivering here in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia too. Its 25'c. And as you good folks know if it drops BELOW 25 we think we're dying!

9.45 am this Saturday morning and almost 8 weeks of workshop inactivity has reduced me to posting this picture. Beat that with a picture to proove;)

There is nothing special about the closed top secion of the DVD/Cd drawer. Just had to have strong solid section to take the ball bearing runners

In answer to TEX 79 There are only two top runners for the DVD/Cd drawer. I was actually planning to put a centre guide/runner in, but the Hafele ballbearing tracks are so good I didn't need them...

There are not plans available as such, but it is pretty much a modification of the Classic Buffet in Australian Woodsmith No. 34, which I have also made.


ote=GRS]Great Stuff JS. I like it.

The drawer runners came from HAFELE at around $20 a pair. They have a huge specialist cabinet makers catalogue.


ote=Just George]Where did you get your drawer runners from?[/quote]

I thought I'd share with you folks, my latest project. This entertainment unit is made totally of Western Red Cedar and finished with 5 coats of Danish Oil. The most expensive part was the hardware,...

Thanks for that. I think I am starting to get the idea!

Thanks Greg. Can't quite follow. and couldn't see the detail in the pic.

I find Danish Oil takes a lot of beating. Did a coffe table years ago and its had a hard life. Not to mention a table on our verandah which gets the weather. Still looks good after around 4 years. I...

I have been put on notice to make a sewing cabinet. I've looked at the Rockler ones. Does anyone know if you can buy the lift mechanism here in Australia?:confused:

Not bad, not bad at all I mean with a bit more practice.....
No I'm kidding. I thought mine was o.k. till I saw yours. Congratulations

Yes its interior - an entertainment unit

Hearty congratulations are in order Rocker. Its my ambition to make one of these - have made a few smaller clocks using movements from Carbatec.
You've done a first class job. And this from another...

Has anyone an opinion on the merits of U-Beaut's Traditional wax over danish oil on Western Red Cedar?

Has anyone else come across Lightening Clamps. I don't know what I would do without a pair when I am glueing up cabinets?:)

Has anyone askedRyobi for an opinion?

Very impressed with your list for 2005 John
But then the air is cooler in Paignton, so makes you work harder to keep warm right?
