These are $10.99 inc postage on fleabay- may be worth a shot...

I was buying some wood at artarmon the other day and the guy there- Gavin's his name, is having a garage sale tomorrow so I thought I'd just pass this on if it's useful to someone at the forum.

I'd go moulding plane or scratch stock.

Nothing worse than trying to blend something machined into a hand made item and despite your efforts, it sticks out like dogs b's (to you anyways).

I guess I spoke too soon after reading their FAQ!

Bandsaw, router table etc- it'd sure add up...


Just curious-

if you could metaphor a seatbelt as a blade guard and a sawstop as an airbag...

Just curious, what are the accident figures compared to runaway routers, circular saws, electric planers, SCMS, metal cutoff saws etc. Maybe we should put emergency brakes on these so people don't...

I would have thought a hefty aluminium extrusion would exist that could do the job and would be less expensive than the float...

Or just plain bad casting that was filled in :-)

That's what I was meaning with the steel bolts and steel dowels- I'd use M&T for assembly/location (these are seriously heavy, dense pieces of 2x6 so some kind of seating with knockdown would be...

I wish I could still find things like that up in Sydney- it'll come up fantastic!
I've got two tables weathering in the backyard that wouldn't look half as good if they weren't there....

No need to wander into the kitchen when you're feelin peckish, either.
Deli sandwiches in the shed!

Thanks guys for the replies!

Sorry in advance for the longish post- I seem to be using 10 words these days when two will do- but if it saves another 8 later, well...:C

It's a strange one...

A bad combination for most of us on this forum :-

Looks hairier when it's still flat- kinda like a deli ham slicer facing you!

I think I might buy...

Thanks for posting that- I'm in the middle (albeit a long middle) of deciding whether to be a cheap4$$ and spin own for fittings or get a factory to do it and was wondering all about blank pricing,...

Or get one of the ones that fits onto a square ratchet shank, then butcher a ratchet adapter fitting...

I haven't had a brace for ages so can't see how it fits, but if you could fit a small hand...

Hi,

I've got some 100+yr old tas oak and ironbark that I'm using to make an 'outdoor' workbench for use in a small area (2 x 5 :o- we've got a 'normal' backyard, and this is behind the shed...).

Maybe a pair of those 'road rage' bike gloves would be in order- the ones with the carbon fibre knuckles:U

Nup, it's definitely the 9- the only one that doesn't require a neutraliser. Might go under the name of their marine version since I last got some...

Just had a quick look and it looks like...

Quite suprised 9 wouldn't be suitable unless it was a thin veneered hide/water soluble glue- I've used it thinly on a singer sewing machine lid/top (but not on the rest) and it held ok.

If applied...

+1 for peelaway 9 (marine version).

I've picked it up in Sydney in bulk 20kg tubs @ $220 at amazing paints.

I could have sworn I posted a reply to someone ages ago about doors but cant find it...

When you finish restoring it just keep it in the car- it'd make a great hands free set:wink:

I used to see ones like that at auctions getting anywhere from $60-180 depending on...

I've used it for various projects- scooter parts, cast iron weights, a pair of cast horse heads (30kg each).

Yes, it works a treat, and yes it pongs like a cross between a home brewery/compost...

Are you intending to just finish the table, or commit to a full restoration back to ship?:)

Would need a pic for this as anything that young would have to be special to be worth 'restoring'.

I don't think there are any suppliers that provide small amounts of the gauze cheap (at least what I would consider economically feasible for such an item).

I'll take a stab- I'm right at least 50% of the time and those bad, bad photos make it a daring game of chance that I just can't pass up...

Just cut up rod from Bunnings- if the glue penetration bothers you, either let it soak a bit in hole and on dowel, or notch the rod up a bit....

If skill level is a concern and you are adamant on height you could always do a mortise/tenon sized spline

I keep seeing these in almost every fruit shop- am I missing something here?

The peelaway stuff won't clog If cleaned properly and allowed to dry- I'm pretty sure it's orange oil based and has even rejuvenated some of the dry, cracked oak with very fiddly carvings I've had to...

Just check with metho that it isn't very dark shellac first- I've a few like that.

Silky frames were also commonly plain finished with a water/alchohol stain, but if it is paint, I've found...

Moikel- where in Camperdown was Wildwood? Just curious as it's my suburb and I thought I could put names to most of the joints around here....

I suppose it's a little too late to tell you but good to know anyways for anyone else embedding fishing lures in their tables/bar knotholes :oo:

Wow! I'm never buying one from Bunnings again!

What about a diamond abrasive jigsaw blade? Cutting down a toothed metal one would be doable, but the concrete would kill it.

I'd also dare say there'd be one of those new multi tools that would...

I'm cutting 130yr old jarrah-very dry, very hard with the z saw 250 (got it from Tools from Japan, Japanese woodworking tools direct from Japan. ) and it works fantastic.

I bought the thick aluminium mounting plate and had to remove the router plate mounting template as the mdf was weighty and boosted shipping to a ridiculous rate.

Seems like every workshop I've been in has stones specifically worn for cambers:no:

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply:)- was just unsure as to whether rolled steel was flat enough for this (I remember some standard mild stuff we worked with when I was an electrical fitter 20 yrs ago...

Used to live just up the road at Willoughby- I remember that!

I can't say how disappointed I was when I read this thread and found no advice on restoring lentils.

Hi Brett,

I thought 19mm slots were fairly standard in placement? The bosch one is around 17mm (just measuring now) and has a bigger t slot piece down the bottom- I always thought that one was...
