Some guys over at the sea kayak forum suggest carbonised edge laminated lamelle (sometimes called coffee coloured) with good success.

Anybody have recommendations for a steel shed supplier in Sydney. Were are looking to put up a Colourbond single garage. They all look like similar builds (portal frames) and was wondering if...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like howard Silvers became Artia - they have the stuff in their online cattledog. I'll give them a call and let you know.

Does anyone know of a supplier in Oz for these type of shelving hardware?

Leevalley call them pilaster strips, but other...

I've had the same problem, but found out that my table was as straight as a politician. Where the 3 Al channels run the length of the table top, the top will sink towards the channels, then rise to...

Hope you have luck in finding a replacement part, with triton/GMC in limbo. My speed control is starting to play up too, which is great fun when running a large panel raising bit and it spins up to...

Bob, what issues did you have with the 250, or what do you know about it. I understand that you are not going to resaw 6" veneers with it, but what other limitations would it have for regualr...

Another option in keeping the strips together is to use the method shown by Rob Macks at Laughing Loon. He uses a hot glue gun as well as staples to build his kayaks.

Intersting story on NSW Sea Kayak Club site where a guy had his new carbon/kevlar kayak munched on by a shark off Tasmania.

It is not really something you would think of when building a kayak...

I am very interested in seeing how this industry develops, given that it is still a quite new industry, with technological advances in efficiency and output over the next decade or two, it looks like...

Thanks Nick,

Seajak, it might be a few weeks before I get down to grab it (need to finish another project first and sort some other things out). I will flick you a PM and we can sort out the...

Nick has got first dibs, but if he pulls out I would be interested.

Nice work Tony, I'm sure your son will be more than happy with it.

Are you talking about the boat or your ex-wifes beauty routine :D

Then you can cook pancakes in safety

Just looking at the range of stuff for polishing, hard/soft felt pads, hard & soft foam, lambswool, etc. Can anyone shed some light on what they would all be used for in polishing up timber. I'm...

Happy Brithday Studley,
Hope you have a good weekend

I think it is recommended that you only fill up 10mm at a time as the resin contracts abit when cooling as you have found out. Another good trick I use is mix in a bit of black brickies oxide to get...

It happens in other retail sectors. Different circumstances to the 10% B deal but all those 'below cost' products you see in supermarket brochures, the suppliers pay the supermarket the difference...

Les,
What about getting an engineers scribe and marking some reference points on the guide bush and the guide bush holder (eg. one facing towards the jig and 2 at the rear/one mark every 90...

There is an 2008/09 cattledog on the US Triton website although it shows part of the Oz range and some select GMC tools in Triton clothing.

Is the phenolic ply they talk about just form ply? Might be worth a closer look at Form ply next time I am down at the hardware store.

Mik,
what do you have to do to it for painting with brush or roller - thinners?

plywoods vary in grade which will affect the texture of the surface, some are left pretty much rough sanded for construction purposes through to finely sanded stuff for furniture, so it depend on...

best bet is to pick up the yellow pages and find the closest Plywood distributer, such as a Mr PlyWood http://www.misterplywood.com.au and see what they can do. Most plywoods are a light colour,...

Thanks Mik,
Was thinking along the lines of glassing requirements for strip kayak and hollow core wooden surfboard - both would see a bit of the Pacific Ocean, although those projects are down the...

Mik,
would there be any advantage using 2 layers of 2oz glass versus one 4oz?
It's obviously a bit more work putting the second layer on but would it give better impact protection or strength?...

Still using MkI. But if I was looking for a new one I probably would go for the MkII.

Depends what you want it for. I am still partial to tape over HDD or flash memory, but when I bought my camera (Sony HDR-HC3) the jury was still out on whether the compression used to whack the...

With the 24" Super Jig US$200 cheaper than the D4R I would be interest to see how they maintained the quality/functionality for the price drop. I don't know if they will hit the Sydney show this...

G'day all,
Good to see those puck-slapping maple suckers are keeping busy. Leigh Jigs is soon to be releasing three new (& cheaper) DT jigs. I wonder how ling it will take to filter across the...

Sincere condolences and best wishes Mick

I jumped in a cab the other day and the driver had one. They tend to favour major roads, but as it was peak hour I pointed him towards some back roads which got us there quicker. Pretty cool...

Onya Neil, I might even make it this year

Rona, I don't have one but Woodrat now sell direct
Price including shipping = AUD 1045.00

Check these links out. No free plans as such but should give you a good idea on where to start:

Swaylocks Hepas of info in forums, do a search for hollow core
Grainsurf forum/ Smaller forum than...

Or you can get the TAB here

Wendy Matthews did a nice cover of it on her Cafe Naturale album from a couple of years back. You can get a mp3 off the Matt Finish website

What happens when you turn it on Stinky?:rolleyes:

Thanks Michael, what type of posts have you used before, timber or RHS? i reckon timber would probably look better. Do you usually run a cap across the top or just not worry?
Cheers

G'day, I am looking to do a horizontal slat fence and was wondering what the best material and spacing for the posts would be. i was thinking of using either 50x50 gal rhs or 3x2 posts, at a spacing...

That actually happened, the Brits dug tunnels under the German frontline, placed about 1,000,000lb of fireworks and lit the fuse. they reckon they heard the bang in London. It was the Battle of...

I am currently reading Les Carlyon's book about the ANZACs on the Western Front, 1916-1918, WW1.
It is a fantastic piece of work that moves easily between diary entries from the men in the trenches,...

I read somewhere a while back that if State Governments were given the flick, it would free up $20billion p.a. from reduced duplication (administration, junkets etc). Don't know how accurate the...

Check out Long Service Payments Corp. It appears to be a "portable long service benefits scheme for building and construction industry workers"

I've bought from Hardwoods Aust in Mona Vale before (Price List). Select Sydney Blue Gum works out at about $3,500 per cube (ex GST). They are nice guys and let you rummage through their racks...

If you have the money and space, get the $300 drill press. The smaller ones don't have much grunt, which is fine if you are only drilling pine, but anything tougher they tend to stall or it takes...

I got #186 in the post yesterday 'arvo :2tsup:

Excellent work Wongo. The Sydney Blue Gum comes up great under an oil finish.

There was a bit on that chanel 9 show with michael slater and sigrid thornton What's good for you that concluded that wood makes the best chopping block. It sucks down the bacteria where they meet a...
