Now I know why I missed you Zenwood. Sorry to hear you are crook. Get well soon mate. What about Studley, what's your excuse mate.
Thanks Frank for your extreme hospitality and making me jealous...

As a matter of fact that was the machine that first got up their nose (or should I say in their ears). :(( Have to be very selective about use from now on.:D

Hi Harry

Jointer blades going fine but have had a long rest for some time. They started to annoy the neighbours.
As for the format Frank, my advice is do your own thing and everyone will just...

Hello Frank

I expect to be there to catch up with everyone again.

I agree with Wendy

Sounds to me like the carbon brush is missing and the spring is the only thing making contact with the commutator, or the carbon brush has become seperated from the spring and is loose inside when...

Harry72 directed me to Handy Pine, 134 Fredrick Street, Welland for timber. They have a greater range of sizes of pine than Bunnings but they also have other timbers. I bought some Vic Ash and...

Steve
I think this depends on what species you are after. For example you won't get Blackwood at Bunnings but you will at Ottos. Do you have a particular timber in mind?

I've got 5mm deflection over a length of 550mm.

Thanks DJ. I think what you are telling me is that I have made a fundamental fauxpas. What I have thought of as the MDF is the back is to do a series of stress relief cuts on the table saw (2mm deep...

Everything was flat when I did the glue up. I think the moisture introduced with the PVA glue is the cause of the problem. The glue has had two days to dry with the panel in the press.

I am making a framed board from some quite old Aussie Oak and because each of the pieces of timber for the board machined up at about 6mm thick I thought I would glue them onto 3mm MDF for stability....

Nice looking pens Dave. You are doing really good work, well done. Yes, I think I recognise the wood of the first one too. Studley, get here to have a look!!:D

This is the reason I will no longer use dynabolts or loxins. A time will usually come when you want to get them out. I now use Ramset plugs even for larger fixings where I use coach screws.

Given that you have the ability to solder then that is what I would do. I have soldered galv gutter that is 36 years old at my place and still going strong. Gutters need regular cleaning...

Hi Stride88

What a remarkably beautiful set of boxes. Will you share some of your construction techniques eg shaping, jointing?

[quote=Harry72;623871]Yep that was mine... yours now!
Its good stuff that spray on... quote]
It won't make me change colour will it Harry? I'm used to stuff that comes out of a white tube.

OK, who left the blue and orange spray pack sunburn cream behind? It can't be yours "bricks".

Thanks Guys for all your positive comments about the day. It was great to have you all and to meet and make some new friends. Thanks Harry for the blade swap on the jointer. It was a good demo and...

All's well Harry. Unfortunately Ian007 is now unable to come but we will have a surprise visitor from Melbourne. Numbers at about 20, fine day 26 deg so should be good. Studley, don't forget you are...

I found myself tempted to do that on my router table just recently, while the cutter was spinning at about 25000rpm of course. And the dust collector was on but not picking up everything. Then I...

No problem Tony. I had you as a possible, so we may see you next time. Good luck with the harvest.

Cheers

This post is just a reminder about the Adelaide Shed Meet No.7 to be hosted by yours truly on
Sunday 12.30pm 11th November 07.
The rain should hopefully have cleared (I do love the rain) and I...

Obviously your not thinking out side the square like Niki.

Niki, over time you have presented some really useful ideas and I enjoy reading your posts. I'm yet to make a drill press table...

Sorry to hear of your accident DIY DAN. I hope you recover soon and get over the emotional scarring as well. I still have your beautiful box in my mind and now wonder whether making small things such...

Hi DIY DAN

I think your box is beautiful. An absolute work of art and craftsmanship. I would be interested to know a little more about your method of construction, not only of the body but in...

The Adelaide Shed Meet's have never been by invitation only. If anyone on the forum is interested then all they need do is post and say so. Some people were sent PM's or emails on the prompt from...

Your welcome to the party bricks. Tex79 has details. At least one of the girls is coming so you fellas are gonna have to behave.

Good on ya Harry. I'm sure there will be interest in a demonstartion of changing planer/jointer cutters and setting up using the magnet method. And my machine will benefit as well. Bewdy.
We have...

David
Good to see we have some interest from across the border. You can keep the cup (until next season), just send us some of your wood. As for the photos i'm sure Studley 2436 will oblige in due...

Adelaide Shed Meet on Sunday 11th November at 12.30pm is looking good at 15 definite starters and a number of maybe's. A number of member's are yet to respond to my PM's or Email's so the numbers...

I don't know the answer to your question but am interested in which universal mounting plate you are using. I purchased a Trend universal mounting plate and have used Trend guide bushes which...

You can look them up on their website first and find how much the minister of finance has to find for you. Enjoy the Melbourne show, I expect it to be much bigger than Adelaide.

I'll post a little closer to the event after numbers firm up. Thanks to everyone who has posted so far.

Personally I like the Triton router stand because of it's portability but I chose to replace the table because of the finer work I wanted to embark on. My result can be viewed on the...

The Mitre Track came from Professional Woodworkers Supplies in Melboure. It comes standard in different sizes but Graham actually cut it to my required length which I think was 850mm and...

Thanks javali, they look real cosy inside the house where the children can drool all over them. Well might just as well be them as us.:wink:

Well it looks like Bessey clamps may take centre stage of any display. Numbers are looking pretty good and I have sent off emails and pm's to those who haven't for whatever reason given any...

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. The general preference seems to be a Sunday and EVERYONE wants Harry to be there, so Sunday 11th November at 12.30pm is the date and time. I will send a PM early...

How does Saturday 17th November at 12 noon sound. Feedback welcome.

Trevor

The way I read it Zenwood, ours are coming with the order complete. Melbourne and Sydney are having to wait.

Trevor

Keep them coming girls and boys. Looks like the Bessey's will come before the BBQ is organised. Oh well! Could be two trips for you Harry. Thanks for the heads up on possible invitees. I was going to...

I just got rid of a bag full recently. What do you want to do with it?

Hi Studley

Yes it will be at my place and I will start orgaising after this long weekend. It has been one of those years unfortunately but I hadn't forgotten. At this stage I think early to mid...

Javali
Looks like it's time to clean the shed out ready to keep all those clamps out of the sun and dust until we get the all clear to pick them up.:D

Mark has the ability to make one out of anything. He's clever but doesn't want SWMBO to know about it!

Good on you Mark

Trevor

Thanks Martin

Additional funds transferred this afternoon. Thanks for everything, you have certainly done a great job.

I still haven't heard anything?????
