Merry Christmas everyone!

Uncle_Bob is OK though :)

It's not that expensive to get 3 ph run into the home (and on to a shed). You may even have a 3 ph drop coming into the house but it's only using 1 phase currently. This was the case for me when I...

Bob, you have got yourself a luxury car for not much more that a new Toyota. I think you'll love it. Tesla numbers on the road will be like Commodores in the early 2000's in a couple of years. They...

Looks like it's quite compacted where the cars driven over it. I think you need to get a pitchfork and break up the top few inches before sowing any seed.

The standards being hidden behind a paywall and the Government handing over control and commerce of them to an "outsourced party" is a ploy for them to "distance" themselves from the rorting being...

You don't usually attache the cable to the wall, you get it installed into the wall cavity.

I suffered from this for quite a few years. Ended up going to a Physiotherapist and he strapped my foot up in bandages for a few days and this fixed it.

Welcome!

Welcome!
Clever those French. Something so simple that works great.

Maybe this video might help:

Those are Compact Fluorescent Lamps which require a special fitting with a ballast. Might be hard to find a fitting for them these days. Maybe sell 'em on Fleabay or something.

Needs more GPO's :D

Seriously, that's an impressive warehouse/workshop/office you're built there!

Looks like a Spokeshave.

+1 to what Phil said. Mate, next time I'll get you to do mine :)

uhoo

Wow! The previous owner really looked after their tools!

IR heaters don't heat the air directly. They heat organic and black bodies. Because of this you need to be fairly close to them because of Inverse Square Law, that is in a nutshell, the if you double...

Noel was a bloody good bloke. They don't get any better than him!

Great to see you came over Moondog!

I think Conroys would be OK. They've been in the business a long time.

Neil said that there wasn't rss feeds for all the forums unfortunately, so that one may have been a casualty.



I'm here and I know Bros has an account on here, not sure about Phild01. Thanks...

I'd like to say "and thanks for all the fish" but no fish or thanks arrived from the new forum owners. Unlike the old days where we would at least get a Christmas present from UBEAUT (thanks Neil!).

Very organised. Well done :2tsup:
As for mine, well we won't go there :)

Interesting thread.
I haven't used Shellac since I was a boy and used it when making coils for crystal set radios.

I had to look it up to see it's properties http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellac

Any Zappa fans are a friend of mine too ;)

Haha, that's great ;)

Wow, very nice!

Me too! Go for it.
(See if they'll give you a crack on a TIG welder :wink:)

Look pretty good to me.

You don't have to stop using XP, though there will be a point in the future where security updates are stopped being rolled out.

Windows 7 is now heading for end of life now that windows 8 is out....

Hi guys, I'm sure years ago there used to be a link on this forum to the Renovate forum and maybe vice versa.

I think it would be a good idea to have links on both sites pointing to each other....

Got a lol here :)

I posted some time back on an actual experience I had with fuel tanks. I've copied the text for the post located here: https://www.woodworkforums.com/showthread.php?p=622330#post622330

Looking forward to it.

How's this coming along? Any updates?

Wow Edd, I'm looking forward to see how this works out for you. I looked at going the exact same thing quite a while back. I finally put it in the too hard/expensive bucket along with most of my...

Nope and sorry for the late reply. That said, I've never seen a plasma that can't cut 3mm.

How did you go Steve, did you get the MIG you were looking at?

Personally, if I could afford one, I would go the TIG, their just so versatile. TIG welding is not too differcult and the finish is...

Wow, awesome boat. I didn't relise how big it was until I looked at the last picture with someone inside it.

Just adding to clear it up a bit.
CB's are rated to the cable size their protecting. A mains switch rating covers what current it (the switch) can carry safely.

Hi, I agree bigger would be better. I'm also thinking 6" metal ducting would be cheaper than PVC, hell you can even make it yourself.

I use a waterbed heater to germinate seedlings. I brought two of them from our recycling shop shop for $10,they both came with the thermostats too. I reckon these would work you too,

Awesome, I would love to make one, but alas the landlord might get upset at making penetrations in the brickwork.

Welcome to the forums mate.
I done exactly the opposite and boy do I miss being a fabricator.
Anyhow being 32 is not too old to get an apprenticeship. You sound keen and I'm sure someone would see...

Sounds like your making a dead short when connecting red to the LOOP connection (with the black wires in it).

Mate, really with this stuff, if you don't know what your doing, get someone in that...

Bob, hi. I don't have any hard info, just what I read on the Austech forum. There was a good thread on alternative energy, sadly though it's been lost since their site crashed. There was even a...

Sorry to say Master Splinter, but what I've heard is that those jaycar turbine and solar panels ain't much chop. Ok for a hobbyist, but not much good for a serious installation.

When I was a boy, IIRC, they were called AJAX valves.

There's a couple of guys over here on this forum http://www.austech.info/electronics/ that could help you. One of them (Bluedog I think) runs his entire place on solely on renewable energy (solar &...
