Ern,
this hasn't been too bad, only a few frosts compared to last year. But gee, the timber does move this time of year as it dries out.
A couple of years ago I went over to SA - the other side of the bay from Adelaide. I can't remember the name of the bloke or the place, but apparently he is a master craftsman, one of 12 or so in the world. He picked place because of the evenness in humidity levels.
He had some work on the go that he'd "let sit" for more than twelve months before the glue up.
Must be something in there for us amateurs...
Jeff

Sure is. Reckon you'd need auto humidity control.
I'm guessing that hot summers would be your main comfort issue, given the wood heater. And an air con., if you could afford to run it, also of course dries out the airCheers, Ern

Best sound proof it ........don't want to cause avalanche during snow season the sound of someone sreaming after hitting thumbs or fingers with hammer can be heard greater then machinery
Forgot to mention my neighbour is lining his shed with chipboard flooring bought extra cheap at Bunnies sale excelent as he works further into the shed we can hardly hear him cuting the stuff and he's right beside our fenc line and lounge room.

hey Jeff when you came to SA the place would'nt have been Constantia furniture in Pt Lincoln. They built over 3 years the main table that all federal parlimentarians yell over.
I would love to grow my own food, but I can not find bacon seeds

Tony - that was the place, no question.
I recall the apprentice telling us that they had done the table work in the new parliament house.
And it certainly was Pt Lincoln. Great place for seafood!
Gotta say though the workshop disappointed me. I was expecting to see some handtools, but they were all locked away. They let us see the timber racks and the big machines, but all the hand gear was not to be sighted.
Just shows what the pros see as important isn't it?

Awsome setup mate. What is the router guiding thingamebob? Looks like it would be great for flattening table tops and the like?

Burnsy,
the router thingy is a Woodwizz, radial arm type. I don't use it as often as I should, but it sure does a great job in levelling slabs - and bench and tabletops if you are careful with the tearout.
A job for me in the future is to match the base to the radial arm. I intend to fix a 32mm particle board top to the base, then skim off with the router to get both perfectly matched.
It's a nifty tool either way. Brings redgum slabs up a treat. And flat. And when you do, it's surprising how much moisture is there in what you think is "dry".
