Back on! I drilled it out and got the new one on and we are away. So happy 👍

Campbelltown mate a bit far from you. I've gotten the front circlip off. I saw the one on the back. Had a bit of a go at it. May be worth another look. Thanks for your thoughts mate I'll keep you...

No it's the back part of the pulley itself. It slides over the shaft and sits inside the bearing . I'm not sure how to put up a photo from my phone either unfortunately.. I've removed most other...

Yep that's the one. Pulley 9 is broken in bearing 11. Yes I can get a hold of it.

I'm replacing the pulleys on my mc1100 lathe. I have encountered a problem. The flange on the spindle pulley that sits in the bearing has snapped off in the bearing. I can't for the life of me work...

thanks gents :2tsup:

Hi all,
Long time no post!
I've just acquired a Jet 14" bandsaw, the 'industrial' one. Is it just me or is it hard to find blades locally?
I'm looking at a 'woodslicer' blade from highland ww in...

Hi guys,
Does anyone know someone who fixes machinery in the campbelltown area?
My planer/thicknesser needs some help that seems to be beyond me...
Cheers,
Josh.

still looking?

Ditto the scraper :-)

try Leitz. they generally do a good job.

Hey Pete,

I'm up for this. pity there's not more support :(

people just buy Makita cos everyone else has it. Blue (pro) Bosch is the way to go :D

Very nice work!

Peter,

It looks to be a sound investment thus far.

I won't be surprised to see many more people buying them too. :2tsup:

Hey mono,

Arrived today! Very nice packaging. Nicely presented in the wooden box too.

Once opened and wiped over to remove the oil, I could see that this is a very nice tool.

The one small...

Thanks mono,

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive...

and camphor smells so nice too!

ditto Greg.

nice attn to detail shows in the level of finish. Congrats! :2tsup:

total $217 ozzie dollars.

If it turns out to be any good, it's not too bad a price.

Pity the shipping cost is almost half as much as the plane. :((

Anyway, I'll pay to be the guinea pig on...

Thanks all!

I'm not quite as muggish as the blond Mr T. :D

Maybe I should venture out there a bit...

Hey all,

I'm 28. Youngish.

I love turning, but for some reason I feel like I wouldn't be welcome at a mens shed because I'm too young!

Funny that.

I agree about knocking the knuckles on the lateral lever/ top of blade!

Hi all,

I can appreciate all the various viewpoints here. I own and love an LN plane and a Veritas spokeshave.

Both are beautiful tools.

I have bought this WoodRiver plane because I like the...

Cool!

I was going to put a saw handle on my first plane too, but I chickened out.

Maybe I still will.

Oh no what have I started.

Sorry Derek but I agree with the general consensus that they're all copied from the Stanley Bedrock design.

I just hope that it performs well!

Keep piling on the...

Hey Dane,

Nice one!

Looks about 48 million times more useful than the mujingfang! :D

(I bought it from him fyi everyone else)

Top job. Don't feel bad about being proud. I've posted pics...

Hi Troll,

(sorry everyone)

Are you into Finnish heavy metal by any chance?

(Sorry again everyone)

Cheers :D

Hi all,

I just bought a Woodriver No.5 from Woodcraft in the usa.

They seem to receive quite favorable reviews.

I'll let you know what I think after it arrives.

Anybody got one or...

Scally,

That should be compulsory viewing for all people everywhere.

Sticky maybe Eds?

Makes me even more glad I'm a tap water drinker :)

Hey Lignin,

Yeah still at Sturt. Still workin' part time as a chef :(

In all honesty I've just been too lazy with the updates :-

Schnoz is doin' good. He just made an egg. tee hee, that's...

As a chef of ten or so years I have chopped things of all kinds on surfaces of all kinds.

I vote for wooden boards all the way.

The last place I worked in replaced all the old wooden boards...

I too love McJing! :2tsup:

oooohhhh yeah. ow.

he he, didn't think of that (sig).

Well, sharp blades cut cleaner anyway...

photos removed by photobucket :(

Here here Redbacks.

first pair went about 4.5 years, second still going at 1.5.

Worn daily in a kitchen (first pair) and joinery shop (second pair)

happy days!

Hey waveink and Jakor!

Good to see ya's posting pics and stories about the school :) It's still going just as well as when you guys finished.

We are doing our 'drawer' project now. Pics will...

[QUOTE i think its time to go check the cables in the roof.... havnt heard any possums for a while....[/QUOTE]

Hee hee, it used to be rats and possums in one house I lived in!

cheers Ray, I'll try to get a move on and sharpen it so I can let you know. :)

Don't you have enough going on Andy? :D

Abalone!

Thanks fellas! Yeah I'll try the 'proper' way next time. They look really good with all the angles and points. I seem to be very comfy sawing with the pull-stroke method which is why i thought i'd...

thing

Hee hee...:D

hee hee : A touch of cinnamon and chocolatey oak barrels...:D

Bob: top looking saws. Where will we find them for sale?...:U

Hi again, here are some pics of my first saw.

Not too bad I guess. It's a nice user as is but I'm going to buck tradition and sharpen it as a pull-cutting saw, japanese style. If that's no good I...

Thread terrorist!

I think I like the first one's shape a bit more. Nice and curvy :2tsup:. Nice work with the photo's too!
