Although we are currently looking at using the Triton...

I've found two websites that state the "Incense Cedar" or "Californian Incense Cedar" is the timber used.

And an excerpt...

Spaceweather.com http://spaceweather.com/ is hosting some nice pictures of comet McNaught. Here's a link to a very nice picture taken from Sydney on Australia Day.

The tail is quite distinct, you really can't miss it. Venus goes through phases like our moon so judging by your photos I'd say you were looking at Venus.
Look to the left of Venus in the direction...

I don't wish to be rude but is there any chance that you were looking at the planet Venus and not the comet? Venus is low in the western sky at the moment and is very bright but no tail. :)

Comet McNaught is clearly visible over Melbourne tonight. :)

Its at about 210 degrees, magnetic or three and a bit hand spans south ( to the left of the Moon) and about two lengths of the moon...

I was thinking along the lines of a drop in plate like in router tables. Possibly 1/4" aluminium.... I'll ponder it some more.:wink:

G'day Manix,
I've never done what you're planning but I'm very interested in it. I own a Triton work centre but am becoming increasingly aware of its limitations but am not currently in a position...

FWIW, Wright's also have a shop on the Princes Highway at Hallam. Their prices are very competitive and unlike some other workwear stores I could name and you named one of them, Wright's provide a...

That's good to hear. One day I'm going to buy a pair of RM's boots. Dress boots though, not work boots. I figure everyone owes it to themselves to own at least one pair of RM's during their lifetime....

I believe that R.M. Williams went offshore a couple of years ago.

As for Blundstones, they lost me about five years ago when they changed the style of the boots that I was wearing and the new...

Plastic is plastic as far as I'm concerned.:)

Entire houses are now plumbed with PVC pipes, both hot and cold water in lieu of copper.

HTH,

Groggy,

Unless you are also going to tie the rafter/trusses to the top plates and the top plates to the studs and then tie the studs to the bottom plates, using dynabolts will (probably) keep your...

With a slab of that age, pre-drilling is necessary. Whether you use spaghetti and one nail or 2-3, 3" nails and no spaghetti into a single hole is up to you. For bottom plates, I've found each to be...

Assuming a door height of 2040mm and that its a hinged door, not a slider, make the head height 2100mm. Width, door width plus 50mm, if your door studs are straight and plumb otherwise add 65mm. I...

What dimensions do you need, Groggy?

Yeah, that's good Al, but can you brick up a letter box?:p

I knew something was different. I thought Neil had just gotten some painters in to spruce the old place up a bit.:D

A pedant until the day I die. :D

The Christmas rush started early last year, about the middle of November.:((

The hours I worked were insane and here's a news flash, I'm not in my twenties...

Ozito. I bought one a fortnight ago to use hand-held as my Makita is in my router table. Apart from a less than smooth plunge action, I haven't been able to fault it.
It actually has more features...

Close. :)

bromo-chloro-difluoro methane :)

Cheers,

I don't have to remember anything and I don't appreciate your condescending tone.
Blocklayer has a nice programming exercise going for him but he is reinventing the wheel. If that's how he wants to...

If that's the case then that's what we carpenters call the foot cut. The vertical cut being the plumb cut. The length or more correctly the depth of the birds mouth is what we're interested in, the...

Creepers run from walls to the sides of hips or from ridge to the sides of valleys. Out on site the latter are usually termed 'valley creepers' so as to distinguish them from hip creepers and in so...

I got it too, Bob. I didn't read it though, just deleted it immediately.:cool:

I've got 6 or 7. My favourite is the sharp one.:D

Now that, I didn't want to remember.... off to therapy again.:p

Have the scrolls survived? I'm feeling decidedly middle aged today.:eek:

Bugga the matrons. Where are their daughters?:D

They did. Don't you remember all those needles we shared when we received the polio vaccine back in the 60's.:D How ever did any of us survive?:rolleyes:


No argument here........peace man.:D

But why would anyone want to drive a Ford?:confused: :confused:






:p

I don't know how luxurious the Fairmont was/is but I think a Holden Berlina wagon might suit you. :)

Of course, I could be wrong.:p

Pedro explicitly asked for advice on jointing using a router table. Unless you're offering to buy him a jointer, what's your point?

Hi pedro66,

provided you set your fence to the left of the router bit, when viewed from the feeding side of your router table, so that you're feeding the timber against the direction of rotation...

As a chippy I've always known dadoes as trenches and rebates as rebates. In carpentry, the term trench was most commonly used when we used OBHW framing and the top and bottom plates had to be...

How does three go into four unless one of the three is from Tasmania?:confused:

Ouch and double ouch! You are in a bad way if you're yearning to have a big green shed nearby. You have my sympathy.

Its a pity you don't live near me. I would gladly give some door jambs etc. It...

SilentC,

MDF jamb sets will set you back less than $20.00 per set provided you don't buy them from Bunnings. On that basis alone, I recommend against finger jointer MDF to make your own door...

Bob,
as you stated in your first post that there will never be a car in it, why not go with a concrete floor and then after any inspections, if any are required,;) , fix battens to the concrete and...

I was wondering that myself. He's been a member for less than a year, has 66 posts in total and hasn't been on the board since 9 September 2006.:confused:

Well I was close, sort of:o :o

I think that should be "She's a mod etc. (I could be wrong about the "she") but it was, if memory serves me correctly, sung by Ray Brown and the Whispers.:)

Its not just you, Iain. My compressor is the same and as its a 10cfm beastie, I'm not about to try to pick it up and carry it anywhere as I did when I much younger.:D Having to lift it into and then...

I desperately need to get some form of dust collection in my workshop, now that its starting to look like a workshop and not just a garage and I also want something that I can use on site. This GMC...

Not as much as I hate smart a*se, self important loud mouths who spam boards by posting the same thing in multiple forums and who can't spell.

Give it a rest, sport. You're not impressing anyone...

Have any of you for whom vibration is a concern tried using the gloves/fingerless mittens with the gel padding in the palms that are available from suppliers of industrial clothing and safety...

Very nice work. :) I wouldn't want to use it because it'd be a shame to get it dirty.:p

The latest storm front didn't amount to much here in the outer south east of Melb.:mad: Got quite a bit of rain before it though..:)

FWIW, I find a watering can with rose attached does a much better job than buckets when washing my car. Uses much less water and I don't get wet. Of course there are always the commercial car washes,...

Sadly, it looks like we've had just about all we're going to get.:mad:

It has been good though. CSIRO at Aspendale has recorded 6.2mm since 9:00am today!:) ...

Don't bet on it, Benny. According to the radio this morning, someone was out with a high pressure thingy washing the yellow concrete structures at a tram stop and was working in the rain to do...
