first time entrant, long time member. I'm in as well, thanks neil

I'm with you mate. I sometimes just unscrew the lid and let the smell waft through the workshop for a while. I just love it!

Fully close your chuck, pull down the black sleeve , tighten it up and turn on the drill. The wheel should spin well. Mine works like a ripper.

Go back to my previous thread. Put my stephens-shed.blogspot.com into google or type it into the url address on your computer. Lots of photos as I progressed. I used lots of second hand...

G'day mate. My experience when I recently started from scratch was pretty simple, but only after I felt as though it was all a bit daunting.Focus on one aspect at a time. Size of building, where you...

Love the legs, great shape and I find them appealing, in a manly sort of way. Hence my question. If you turn legs of any sort, where do you find the patterns? Are there books you buy, are they...

Email sent Barry. i'm keen to have a look.

Hey Jess, I wouldn't normally reply to a welcome thread, in fact I don't contribute much here, just love to read pretty much everything that comes up. But I just love people"s passion for what they...

My father told me years ago,"you don't lend your chainsaw or your missus because chances are they'll both be returned the same way". I guess he was right. Tough lesson that one!

I finished my new shed recently and whilst not as big as some its still 10 x 5 metres. I needed to ensure I had storage for the future so went with a 22 degree roof pitch instead of a common 12 or 15...

Thanks for the replies, you've given me something to think about. I'm thinking the gpo's they use on a "stage" might be even better. You can get 4 gpo's that sit in a well with a lid over the top....

Have thought through most things re my new shed. Slab is boxed up and will be poured in November. As I detail where my machines will be used, I keep coming back to the same problem which is simply,...

That makes a lot of sense Chris, thanks for the reply. I'll work on both suggestions ie. At the source and then via fan, but the other suggestion is also a ripper. I'm building a new shed at the...

Instead of ducting I'm thinking of using a large industrial fan to blow dust from my table saw straight out the door of my shed. It's only about 5 meters and I think it will work better. Any...

Gordo, I've used the lag screws you refer to on a large table I made years ago. Table is 3 metres x 1.2m and seats about 10. Point is, it has rails of jarrah, a chip board top and 100mm square...

Mine did the same and I ditched it. Couldn't work out what broke but it had no random capacity and no drive from the motor. Certainly repairing an $80 machine doesn't sound practical when you can...

just unpacked and tried my new H&F T330. No snipe, great cut, feeds steadily and dust port works well on my 1 H.P machine. With 2 speeds and dust port included i chose this over the other...

use the search facility and search for"making a flat top" by Wongo on 6/12/07.
Nice clear instructions with pictures to help. A great resource I always used to start with.

I also went along this afternoon. It's always a little predictable but that's what i like. Nice to meet the blokes on the forum and also thanks to Neil for the subsidy. Liked the change of venue...

I use organoil to finish my work quite often. what you do is exactly what i do. 2 coats of oil and the ROS with fine grits to sand with . I usually go as far as 1200 or 1500 grit, sand till the...

Try Grampians furniture in Halls Gap or Envisage furniture in Shepparton. Both have web sites and the workmanship is fantastic. I visit when I pass through just to admire the craftsmanship and...

Read this thread last night and decided I might like some of the Triton action myself if it was staring me in the face when I passed through today. Sure enough 1400 router for $99 last one in the...

What brand of bird finds the opening big enough to enter. What diameter is it?

I'm interested in what others do to "mark" their creations. I don't sell anything, but do build furniture for people just because I already have a house full of my own. But I also like the idea that...

Mike, read some of the responses below your post re: finishing a jarrah table. Just make sure you try a few demo finishes on some old stock and compare. There is already more information than you...

Reading this thread with interest. I have just completed a jarrah dining table for a friend. 1.5m square. The finish was a problem until i gave the brush away and wiped on the final coat. I...

I've had the same GMC collector for a couple of years now. I like the mod and might try it myself. I have the same issues with a bit of dust and noise when we start but for $100 it's great. I also...
