My wife is the best! She suggested I demolish my timber rack which is around 25 years old and has developed a nasty lean. Level the ground and build a new timber rack, incorporating a bandsaw mill...

The electric woodfast is definately an option. I hear people have had issue with the 3 TPI blade and replace with a 1 TPI for better gullet clearance. How has the club found it as far as maintaining...

I have had a look at their website and like that they are local, in a way.

Hi Ross. Interested but how reliable are they?

Thanks clear out, but chainsansaw mill is not an option for me.

Hi guys!

Learning all the time. Will look at that but it will have to wait a little while. Thanks for the Stanley history.

Haha John, tell her 3 systainers (note empty pigeon holes to the right hand of the screen) were in the car actually earning their keep on a job.

How can I disappoint you Chippy after that heartfelt appeal to my nationalism? I will make extra effort to call a rebate a rebate. I am very aware that whilst I am a single voice, the power of...

Wow, stirred up a hornets nest!
After reading the dictionary meaning I thought that rabbet was probably the more correct term. I am not overly concerned to taking sides. Dado, trench, slot, rabbet...

Thanks for the clarification John. That is the great thing of community knowledge which forums like these foster!

Thank you Ian for your response and all the best season greetings to you as well.
Re Studley's chest, that is a massive comparison and doubt that Arthur's collection would come near to such a famous...

Here is a little Christmas greeting from me and Barry the pug.

Rather than create a new post every week for my series of "What's in Arthur's tool box", I thought I might just keep adding to this thread. Any thoughts?
For those just joining the...

This week I look at his 3/4" and 1,1/4" shoulder planes. Brace yourself, they are exquisite. ...

I posted another video titled "1926 pay increase and union fees"....or something like that. The beginning is a few other things I neglected to mention about the bench in the first video. Click here...

May not sound like an antique tool but it sure was part of everyday life for a tradesman in Australia back in 1926. Here is another snapshot of what it was like for my great grandfather as his...

Hi guys.
I posted in antique tools last week regarding a little series of youtube clips I am doing weekly on going through my great grandfather's joinery toolbox with the full compliment of tools in...

The Athletics club is the group that has the most people in it when I do the annual sports awards, hard to get them all in sometimes.

What do those initials stand for?

Had a similar problem with my old ride on. It was a short happening by the linkages hitting an electrical cable...one of the safety kill switches. It took me forever to find it. I disconnected all...

I would love to attend but one of my other hats is that I am a photographer, mostly sports and mostly for Sydney University cricket club and SUSF. Unfortunately I am working at the Great Hall at the...

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I feel I should say that I have had this collection for 30 years but only recently became interested in it. My involvement with carpentry has been as an apprentice...
