Due to laziness and other reasons, I haven't installed my metric kit yet. I hope it's green... although the walls of the workshop are "skyrocket red". Damn, I'm going to have to open up the...

I have an ironbark floor (in the kitchen as well) that has an organoil finish and is about 12 years old. If there is a spot that I really cant shift with a damp microfibre mop, I'll occassionally...

This is a very quick sketch of what the chisel shape looks like from above. The chisel is labelled 3/8 in and 10mm. At the tip it is approx 9.5mm and the wider main part of the chisel is approx...

I have a new Hamlet mortise chisel that has a slight taper from where the bevel starts to the tip. This is unlike the Robert Sorby Mortise Chisel I have that does not have a taper. Surely I want the...

Thanks Neil, I'll put timber selection down as another one of my "learnings" from this project, I was just trying to match the red ironbark floorboards. They have an oil finish, so maybe I should...

The photo is a little misleading in that the marks aren't really white, it just looks that way because of the angle trying to get them to show up on the photo. They are more like something in the...

Howdy,

I finished a table top not that long ago with white shellac followed by hard shellac and then traditional wax over the top. It seems that the cork placemats I was using to protect the table...

I wish I had read this thread before I started putting shellac on the redgum top of my new 2 person dining table. Not sure whether to sand it all off or just go sit in a corner and cry now. :C

This was almost exciting until I read the bit about there NOT being a conversion kit for the LS25. sigh

I haven't been running my router table all that long, but I have a 2HP dusty hooked up to the back of the router enclosure as well as to the fence. There is a 2 or 3cm gap at the base of the front...

Thanks for that BrettC, it has led me to a few other thoughts. I still haven't finalised the drawers although, I'll give it some more thought this afternoon.

a bit more reseach has led me to Bill Hyltons chapter on Drawer Building Basics from the Taunton press. It looks like some hardwood drawer runners are the go, so I'll get back to sketchup and see if...

Howdy all,

i'm designing a coffee table made mostly out of european beech that I want to put two drawers into that will be able to be opened from either side ( to hide the TV remote controls etc)....

$90 wouldnt even get a sparkie half way here. $210 for the first hour and $150 each hour after that is the last price I heard.

My "workshop" is actually a 6mx4m room in the house and I don't really want to knock a hole in the wall or cut a hole in the window to put a dust system outside. A 2HP dusty with a pleated paper...

I see lots of talk about building your own cyclone and the benefits of them, but has anyone given one of the carba-tec cyclones a test? For example this one...

Howdys,
Due to the cost of laminex and formica and the fact I have a couple of metres of 750mm wide 32mm thick MDF sitting in the workshop, I was thinking of just using polyurethane coated MDF as...
