Thanks for the inputs.
I will considering adding strips of mdf or plywood to achieve the same effect as the cut grooves. Maybe using fasters with glue. My tablesaw isn’t big enough or accurate...

Hi all,
I have a possible bad idea I want to run by some more knowledgable types.
i would like to make some workbench cabinets with drawers that would use the drawer bottom as the runner/slider....

It’s a variation on a technique to derust motorcycle fuel tanks. Some guys fill them full of screws of other objects, wrap them tightly in blankets and spin it over in a cement mixer or a clothes...

Hey Errol,
if you can remove that chain and have access to a cement mixer, drop the chain in there with some water and sand and let it spin over for a few hours.

I just found this thread an I must admit, your tool cabinets are very nice!

Your workbench looks great, please let us know how it turns out.

That looked like it was in great shape! Any others up there coming up for sale?

I recall either freezing or baking furniture to kill them off or maybe this stuff?Timber Borer Treatment - Radial Timber Sales

Nice shop you have there, going by the background of those photos!

I have an inexpensive saw and I found it had changed since I had made my sled. I later found out the entire saw mechanism was cantilevered off the front of the saw case with nothing at the back at...

Well I had a chance to use the new machine this week.

Some observations from a first time thickener user:

it is loud, but not as loud as I expected. I purposely waited until nobody was home...

Thanks Malb, I will do that with the receipt for sure.
I know there may be some risk. I would have been sorely tempted by the ozito one had I known, but here we are lol.
cheers Steve

Well I just got one, they were marked down to 279 at the store. Will post my findings after using it. Three year warranty too.
cheers

These are on sale this Saturday for 349 $AUD.
Are they any good for a low end thicknesser?
The primary intended use is pallet wood projects.
thanks

Here is something I made from stuff I already had. When I need to plane down the second side, I add a luan spacer under the wood and go again.

I would try to hear one running before buying. Some are real screamers.

Thanks all for the advice. I am definitely going with oil this time around. I am going to try some Viccon deck stripper. You put it on and pressure wash after it lifts. Cheers

G’day all,

I am looking for a used simple planer thicknesser in the Brisbane area. Nothing fancy, just a basic planer to clean up some pallet wood for a project I have in mind.
Thank you, Steve

Hi all,
I am looking for a source of old-style slotted door or lid stays in Australia. Plain, stamped steel ones. I want to use them to make a flexible contour gauge like this one:

Nice Job, that will last awhile!

I just bought the shop vac and it is not loud at all. It has a soft start feature and another outlet for power tools that automatically turn on the vac when the tool is switched on.

I was going to ask this in new different thread, but found this searching. I have the same problem and want to try one of those clear resin tops you pour over the table top, but don't know what's...

Hi Aldav, would you have a link to your ebay store? I cant find it.
Thanks
