Hi all,

Looking to purchase a short length of 380 PFC, (C-channel) mild steel 400mm length.

Open to lengths that are close to 400mm.

Cheers.

Hi all,

Thanks for your replies. Went on holidays soon after i posted the thread, so didn't get a chance to say thanks.

Turns out HDPE tube at those sizes are prohibitively expensive, even...

Oops forgot to change my location.

I haven't had much luck with suppliers for the size I am after, but I am probably calling the wrong guys.

I haven't been able to locate any HDPE tube in the...

Hi all,

I am interested in buying some HDPE offcuts for a project and have trouble finding small lengths of this.

I am after a 1 metre length of HDPE tube/ Blue strip poly tube in diameter...

Thank you Elan,

I stand corrected. Those two links are very useful.

Cheers,

Thanks for your offensive reply. I am aware of iron-on edging but you cannot get 1-2mm ABS edging that is iron-on.

A lot of other businesses list themselves as Kitchen Showrooms or otherwise and...

Hi all,

Looking to build some kitchen carcasses and was wondering if anyone has used anyone who provided edge banding services in Melbourne. Cheapest I can find is $3 per edge.

I seem to be...

Accelerator only, but I will get the CA if it only comes as a kit.

Out of curiosity, do you remember when you last purchased this?

I called them up today and they were not aware they had that product, only another CA brand called Nova which was around the $80...

Hi all,

I am just starting out pen turning and thought I would post some of the first few pens i've done. I still have much to learn, and these pens are taking me around 2 hours each so far. (Out...

Hmm, I don't think so as it looks very different from any silky oak (northern/southern) that I have.

I think it's some sort of cheap Tasmanian Oak but I'm not sure.

Hi all, any idea what this pen blank is?

I nuked the pieces that will fit for 30 seconds. Feels pretty warm after that.

I found more information from CSIRO here.

Well crap.

Recognised the handwriting on yours RichieRich and checked my rosewood purchases.

Definitely some holes in most of the pieces.

I can fit most of them in the microwave, is this a...

Hi all,

A colleague is getting a tree removed from his house and has offered me to save some pieces before it becomes firewood.

Could I get some help identifying what type of timber it is...

Hi all,

I'm looking for a reasonable affordable/ well stocked hardwood, with good strength characteristics (perpendicular to the grain under torsion?) but not too heavy, for use as a Murphy Bed...

Hmm, one wonders if i should have posted it in the main Woodwork - General forum. Seems to be significantly less traffic in here! :(

Happy to take any stray thoughts!

Hi all,

I've bought a Lee Valley Murphy Bed kit and would like some advice on which easily sourced australian hardwoods to use for its construction. (from either Matthew Timbers or Australian...

Update:

No dice from Grizzly.

They are unwilling to provide pictures of the part/ measurements.

Might just have to bite the bullet and buy it and hope it fits.

Ah sorry, might have confused things, that picture is the 30 mm arbor the ST-12D comes supplied standard with. I posted a picture in case people are wondering what i am talking about.

Good point...

Hi,

Was just wondering if anyone had any experience finding a 1" arbor adapter for the ST-12D table saw from Hare and Forbes. See pic below for the 30mm arbor adapter it comes fitted with...

Wait, what's the second or more joy =S

Hi guys thank for all your advice, who needs google when you can rack people brains :P

Its about good 5 cm out pm the raised sides, but it bends rather easy being 2 metres long. The whacking in...

Hi,

Thanks for your reply Ueee. Yep, i meant twisted, sorry not too sure about the terminology. When i put the frame flat on the floor, two diagonal corners are lifted upwards.

I'm not too sure...

Hi,

I've just welded up a square box (4 lengths top and bottom, and linked together with another 4 lengths in each corner) to use as a in-feed table for my woodworking needs. Being a complete an...

Thank you fubar.

They have a sheet of 2400 x 1200 x 3 mm for $11.50 ex pine plywood. Is this considered a good price?

Hi,

I'm planning to make a shelving unit for small boxes (250x150x180) with interlocked sheets of plywood. (groove half through the length on cross pieces and push them together; also does anyone...

Make take awhile found out the wiring into my house is either 32 or 45 amps, and seeing as i need to run the saw and dust compressor at the same time... which is about 28 amps.. it won't happen.
...

Quick question, but how does one oil/ wax the insides of the knife holder. (the slits for the knife)

Why not save yourself the hassle with the spirit level and get a bubble level.

So ok, more experiences with the table saw.

Due to having insufficient wiring/power requirements, i still haven't actually ran the saw.

I however have done some alignment and measurements of...

So got around to mounting the tablesaw wings today, and that wasn't too hard.

All was going fine till i hit a major problem.

Basically H&F sent me a sawblade by overnight shipping from Sydney...

So some $1870 later, i got a non existent (read earlier posts) table saw shipped from Brisbane. ($220 from Bris to Melb if anyone cares) Seems that it pays to call other branches, as either their...

Nice pics!

Another question, is that pallet attached to the plywood box?

Also roughly how big is the pallet? Will it fit in a trailer?

If its this one your talking about,

http://images.rockler.com/rockler/images/26065-04-500.jpg

Then hell yes?

TBH, atm the price is less of an issue then having to wait for two months. I think i'll try ringing all the stores in Australia, to check if they are defintely out of stock.

I was after a W850 Scheppach planer/ thicknesser as well.

Was that $1549 price you got ex or inc?

As it stands now, i'll probably head down to WWWH and discuss with them, as being a uni...

When to Hare and Forbes today, their service was pretty good, although i did not ask too many indepth questions about the machines, as i knew what i wanted. For future reference, i believe Craig is...

H&F website says taiwan.

Wow, looks awesome, the camera sure doesn't do it any justice.

Btw what did you mean by this bit?



I don't understand it at all, is it normally standard practice to fill holes with black...

Sounds awesome, looked in the dust collector for the camera? :P

Yeah, i do plan on getting this saw, just have to make time to actually go to H&F, which hopefully would be this friday, and i'm...

Parted with my Orange tools today (well except the router), it was a long road, but alas i did not use it as much as i thought I would, as uni got in the way.

Kinda makes me feel sad, and also...

For something where straightness is crucial, like a fence, wouldn't you be better off using plywood or mdf?

Mmm, i don't own and can't afford a shed.

I'm working in the garage and the dust collector was always planned to be outside in the garden.

Besides if i did have the higher compressor in my...

Ok, so as the responses seem to be varied and somewhat valid to common sense, i've decided to take the scientific approach and look for studies regarding wood dust, and their particle size.

Lo and...

So, i'm working with a budget here, being a poor uni student, and was wondering if the more experienced folks could help me out with dust extractor choices.

I've decided that i would mostly like...

Hmm, i was always under the assumptions that postage was counted, guess not then.

Umm, correct me if i'm wrong but if your buying that much in USD, won't you have to fill out lots of annoying forms declaring import tax as its over $1000 AUS?

Hi folks, thanks a lot for the advice. I decided to hold off buying it till sometime next month when my uni exams finished.

I know this seems contrary to all the advice given, but after listening...

Hmm, thanks for the info guys.

Here's another variable to add into the picture though.

If i were to buy this saw now, i will only be able to purchase it by itself.

However if i wait till...
