Why not have two separate drums offset and overlapping? ie. two 600mm
drums with a 100mm overlap. One behind the other? Or is that too much engineering? :?

Spotlotto. I bought a Drill Doctor when the Aussie dollar was almost at parity with the greenback. :D I bought a transformer from these guys but you can find plenty of them also on ebay.com.au

Don't know if you have this bookmarked? I do, and one day I might even use it :D

I've got a Domino & use it to join this stuff all the time, excellent results. :2tsup: However I have never used a dowelling jig so can't compare the two. My biggest tip would be to get the...

VAT is 17.5% so using xe.com roughly translates 560.00 GBP = 1,187.38 AUD. Shipping from the UK is not cheap, under 2kgs is cheap over isn't (I spent 5 years there..) You can claim the VAT back...

Sandpaper Order from US :2tsup:

Ummm I've brought back monitors from England (which I believe is in the northern hemisphere) & they have worked fine. This is the first time I've ever heard of this issue with monitors (USAAF jets...

Why is it that once you start looking at the festool stuff you keep adding to your list :doh:

Ian, As nt900 mentions
I've no doubt the Metabo would do the weatherboards but they are a once in 10 years proposition & I think I'd like to use something slightly more often than that :D
...

HB,
I hadn't thought about the relative weights :o; only the coverage, so will definitely try both for heft.

tsakmaki,
Will also look at the ets150/5 as it is about 1/2 the price :2tsup: just...

Just seeking confirmation before spending the cash :D

I need a sander to strip paint from weatherboards (last time I did it with a 9" angle grinder :no: which is a tad hairy on top of a ladder). ...

Chris Vesper makes an interesting square. I've not bought any of his gear but it does look good:2tsup: I believe he is a member of these fori.

Mines 4*2s and weighed down with old heat bank 'bricks' :p doesn't move & didn't hurt the bank.... so no worries when I miscue a cut :2tsup:

Zenwood,

Fantastic photo series.:2tsup:

As for hinges & latches James Krenov might have some useful ideas...:photo3: His cabinets tend to open fully, but have overhanging tops & bottom, so...

My brother ticks these on his 'To Do' list with the words 'not achieved' next to them, gets plenty of SWMBOs things off his list :D and he says the satisfaction of being able to tick things off the...

How do they compare to these?

Ruffly, I like the tray, just a question:- Why that orientation for the dovetails?

Stuart,

Probably not what you want, but I've got a Tormek; I don't make exquisite (or even fine) furniture, so it works for me...

Not a promise, but I do carry a 3 rouble note around I 'obtained' in Russia in 1992; I just couldn't help thinking of the phrase "As dodgy a a 3 dollar note" & the Russian's actually had/have one !!

Left field option... Sell the Old Baltic pine and install hardwood floors throughout :D

Petert,

My first one lasted about 6 months #2 & #3 lasted about 10 mins each, so I replaced it with a Karcher with no PTO; this was about 18 months ago & the Karcher is still going strong. #2 &...

To misquote Piggy Muldoon "Any Victorian moving to Queensland raises the average IQ of both states" :eek:

Jow, If you are with LloydsTSB then this is just a DEBIT CARD with VISA facilities, I've got one & use it in this manner when in Europe, I still think your best bet is the www.ozforex.com.au web...

Jow,

Having just done the move in reverse (Aus to UK) try this website; it's all you need:- http://www.ozforex.com.au/

Tiger,

I had the on/off switch play up on my BP16a a couple of months after purchase, rang Melbourne branch and a new one was in the mail (from Brisbane IIRC) in a couple of days, very happy with...

Rocker,

Looking at the FWW site they use screws for the outer mortices; through slots, which then have wooden plugs, could this not be used?

Shed must contain something from a previous generation & hopefully no knowledge of what it does

My nephew made a cot for his daughter & bought these for it, he's very happy with them. :)

Coldamus,

I think it is here, your link got me the winch manual :eek:

Sturdee has a good idea ;)

Michael,

Yep I did the Duginski thing, put electrical tape on the rear side of the insert to bring it flush & have left the front lower, no more timber 'not moving' moments now

Midge,

Was Kerry putting his personal worth up against the other blokes or just his pin/gambling money ($100m), if it was his entire fortune ($3b) then I'd be impressed, if however it was just...

woodbe,

Nope originals are much sturdierly(?) made, I got to sit in one in Bristol in 1995 at a Dr Who exibition (& yes I did say EXTERMINATE)

Ozwinner,
Hope you get some decent plans, the BBC...

bashosfrog,


Do a search for Rockers morticing jig and for the tenons ?

I own a woodrat, & it really isn't for machining big bits of wood... how big are the $1,000 windows & where (end or...

Doug,

Mine mainly gathers dust... but then I'm not in the shed that often (1.5hr drive away)... and when I am it's more the MDF end of the woodworking spectrum that I'm currently at :o hoping...

routermaniac,

I use Triton glue (& Titebond II) for my table tops, only use the epoxy where I have dodgy mortice & tenons (gap filling) or anticipate racking in the frame.

I would expect that...

Then you give the first few to the kids to 'straighten' out :D worked for my uncle anyway :o

Lou,

Just to add to your thinking: I've got the Triton mounted on my woodrat... held in by 2 screws but is plenty secure enough,

West Sytem Expoy, Carbatec sell it. Sticks ... to fur :eek: also very good for gap filling.

Steve, (caveat I've not done this only read it) If you place a steel ruler under the join & then clamp a board along each outside edge, you then remove the ruler and clamp them using a wide scrap...

My 3yr old niece informed me her mother supports 'cauliflower' yesterday, haven't stopped laughing yet :p
