Might just do that DJ. Haven't been up that way for a looong time. Well overdue for a trip to the hills

A friend of mine has just given me a Jarrah mantlepiece that came out of the house they are renovating. It's a beautiful piece, about 1500mm x 250 mm x 50mm. it's been a mantelpiece for about 25...

Lightened up a couple of the darker photos to get more detail. That's really nice wood.

Hope he doesn't get a catch. Straight through the knee into the jaw I'm guessing

I think that twin fluoro setups now are set out of phase with each other, so the strobe effect is avoided. Heard that somewhere but I'm no expert.

Might want to look a little closer Geoff. My mug in the microwave ends up just about anywhere, and it's a pretty old microwave. I know that a lot of the new ones now return the turntable to the same...

I would prefer back to edge. It would tend to leave a burr on the edge much the same as a honing steel does.

You can also try Danihers Hardware in Heidelberg. They stock milled BHS but they may be able to get slabs from their supplier.

Yep. Spoke to somebody can't remember who on Neil's stand at last years show, and they said that's exactly what to do. Just remix it.

Fred what was the distance on the first one. It's crystal clear. Was it a long lens?

I'd better boost up the vote count on the Nikon side. I have had the D3100 kit for a while now. That's the body and two lenses. An 18-55mm and a 55-200mm. I love it but it's highly addictive.

Positive as well?

I like them. They look a little star trekkie. Maybe a larger face would have been better but nice and simple.

What finish?

I don't know about the technicalities of particle size and rotation and non rotation on sanding, but ...
Sandpaper traditionally comes in, say, 40, 80, 120, 180, 220, 360, 400 etc etc, and we have...

But can the boys tell the time as well as a clock??

I have two sets of Allen keys, one metric, one imperial, with T handles. Shafts are about 100mm long.

I'm sure they're not great quality but they are invaluable for that sort of work. I picked...

Got to agree with that. You wouldn't even need to glue (but you probaly would). The next thing you do is stretch the canvas over the rail and staple it to the back isn't it. Tension keeps the mitres...

I'm not a good sketcher, but what I do sketch I then understand when I am looking at it later.

But I only have me to satisfy. If I was a cabinet maker that needed to show a client what the end...

Mr Vermeer would be amazed at what can be done.

Very nice. My Dad had a print of this in his entry hall for years when we were kids.

You can take it, or you can leave it. Up to you. I posted my opinion on using a table saw with 100mm square posts which might not be flat and square, and you were offered the use of a band saw.
...

Firstly, not many, if any, table saws will do a 100 mm deep cut, so you will be doing a blind cut which needs to be matched up the other way. Second, table saws are very friendly with two adjacent...

I vote wipe on. Love the stuff

They are actually not that difficult, but you need a mate to help you. He needs to be about 12 mm tall, and really good with a paper clip shaved of sharp at one end.

I thought it ws half the diameter of the piece. My Jet1236 manual specifies a 6" swing over bed and a 4 3/8" swing over the tool rest. I know I can turn pieces up to 12".

Those maintenance tips are particularly useful to us who are pure hobbyists as well. Using tools relatively infrequently, it's easy to forget maintenance for a very long time, and normally remember...

or..............

It depends what you may have on the front to conceal them, but when I made the hall mirror for my BIL and attached it to the entry hall, I screwed it straight into plugs in the...

Jill, these are handy when they are mounted flush with the back of the work piece. From McJing

Cut them both over size, then cut to finsh once they're stuck together.

Is there a touch of irony about all these photos having a title at the top that says "Attached Thumbnails". :U:U:U

Baby steps Ian. It was a nasty bit of work. You'll be back at it soon enough.

Vin Vin I've left edge joined timber lying on a workbench in my workshop for a few days and it has bowed up like that. When I turn it over, or stand it on an edge for a few days, it flattens out....

.. then ask them what it is they like to drink..

My sister has a dining table that extends like that Dane, but it doesn't' use sliding dovetails. It does have castors on each leg though, which I think are original but maybe not because they look...

I was browsing through a WW magazine about 6 years. I was reading an article on bowls, can't remember what it was all about, but my wife looked over my shoulder and saw the photos. She had never...

True. So I wonder how many people on this forum saw the show advertised some where other than
-on this forum, which is full of epople with this hobby anyway
-in woodworking magazines which are...

So that would make Neil, U.

But you're .
. ...I'm confused :doh:

Not going to flame you Phil, but perspective is an interesting thing. I'm playing the devil's advocate here, but I wonder what the vendors were told the purpose of the show was, compared to what we...

The downpipes is a good point. My guy checked mine out and they were okay, and we really only had an issue about three times a year during really heavy downpours. Resulted in the same issues as...

Do our site sponsors not mail to WA?

Let's Make Time Clock Co just up above this thread, Carroll's Woodwork Supplies, Gary Pye,...

Yep. What he said. The guy that put mine in said he always puts overflows in hidden gutters.

I've been toying with the idea of putting normal gutter inside the hidden gutters but I haven't tried...

Funny timber that Camphor Laurel. The heartwood can be so different to the sapwood. It's almost chalky sometimes. It's a pain when it's not quite dry.. Hard to finish as well.

I still love...

Black Heart Sassafras. A beautiful timber. And a beautiful bowl

Definitely "speccy" as in, what he said. Just bought myself a Sorby Hollowing Tool from Len Smith, didn't have one before, so looking forward to doing one of those very soon.

A very nice example.

He's listed as Richmond so you better throw Tassie in as a choice as well. :D:D:D:D

My reading of the flyer tells me that we have no problem labelling pens "Made in Australia". The substatntial transformation certainly happens in Australia, and the cost of production, (expenditure,...

Looks great. I'll just have to wait for the Mac version :anoyd:

Reminds me of the popular story I heard in Germany of Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria who built the Castle Neuschwanstein in Bavaria. The story went that castle was designed by an opera stage designer,...

Well ...... I guess it's a bit too clinical for me. Everything would turn out "exactly" as you wanted it. But as you say, we do buy, or make, tools to suit. It struck me as I was doing a WIP on the...

I like mine. Jet 1236 I think is the model. It's not young anymore but still lines up well. Only had 1 new set of head stock bearings in probably 12 years.

Ad, your imagination never ceases to surprise me. Very well thought out and "turned out" beautifully.
