Looking good, Trav. I'm going to try new something similar when I get a bit of junk out of my shed. I may call on your expertise when I get to that stage!

I may attempt some of these modifications myself, having just bought the Gasweld branded unit of the same parentage.

Disturbingly though, both the collection and filter bags are calico on my...

I'm waiting on mine in the next container from China. Decided to cheap out, and go depot shipping only... $99 from Brisbane to Canberra!

The plan is to get four burly folk to help me lift the...

I just bought the Leda BS350 from my local machinery and shapening shop for $427- they're closing, and it was their last large machine.

I'll let you know how it goes!

As an correction of the record; I missed Jason's email... He he emailed me back in April, and again yesterday. Apparently all the saws in his stock are set that way- He's going to try to pull a good...

Hey Ian,

Yeah, got the full drawings- I'll look at doing that over the next few months. Still thinking about how I'm going to get it flush-up with the benchtop, but my local woodies, the WWF...

Thanks Ian,

I can see some rather oblique references to that around the web, but nothing much to work with. I guess I'll have to stump up for a copy, if the ACT guild doesn't have it already!
...

My current thinking is that I'll patch the original dog holes and drill new ones ~40mm from the edge, and do the standard 19mm round ones... Keeping to a standard makes life easier!

That was my first thought- Unfortunately, the existing holes are too close to the edge to get the inset vice in line with them- They're only 20mm from the edge.

Cheers,
P.

I've bought a few odds and ends from them. They have an eBay store too.

I have;
*Wheel cutting gauge.
* Marking Knife.
* Little hammer
* Sliding Bevel.
*The rosewood spokeshave.
* The Large...

Sorry Mike, I couldn't get the pictures up from my phone immediately. They're up now.

G'day all,

My workplace was about to chuck out an old joiner's bench, and I jumped in and put my hand up for it. I've just replaced the rotten old chipboard well board, and I'm making up the...

That one doesn't appear to be sold by Carba-tec, Derek. I have ordered an pair from this "Veneer Inlay" mob, and I shall report on quality when I get them. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I must...

Perfect. Cheers Al!

Hi All,

I'm trying to track down something like this Nicholson, as seen here on eBay;...

Thanks for the ideas guys- Yellow tongue or Melamine are sounding good. I'll call around the kitchen places in Fyshwick when I get my act together.

Hi All,

We've been in our place almost two months now, and thoughts are turning to my tin shed... in turning it into a more functional workshop, and generally a nicer place to be, I'd like to line...

Thanks Ew- Interesting you say your choice do do the trade killed your love of the hobby... I've had the same experience with my career in electonics. Out of hours, I avoid tinkering like I used to....

Hi All,

I got interested in woodworking as a direct result of finding a Steve Ramsey video on YT. I liked his clear cut methods, and the way he presented the hobby... he made everything look...

Hi All,

At the risk of reigniting a flamewar, is the Canberra show likely to proceed this year? I'm probably in the market for a bandsaw(and maybe a thicknesser), and I'd like to see a bunch in...

So... I got a bit distracted the other day. I have a functional lathe!

Still learning what all the tools do, how to do roundovers and coves and the usual stuff, but ti's good fun and very messy....

Well, the tool rest is fixed, as described. Just hoping that the machinists have a bit more spare time this afternoon to mill up the bottom clamps... SWMBO is at a staff meeting tonight (6 to 8:30!)...

Unfortunately, my neighbor has deemed them too far gone. Fortunately, the machinists here at work are helpful souls too, and have taken pity on me.

We're going to mill up a pair of new bottom-half...

Hi All,

I was on here a while back, asking about which lathes to buy, and received some good advice. Having just moved house, and finally started setting up my workshop/shed/mancave, I got talking...

I've been looking at this myself, although I have tools and no lathe just yet!

An old turner advised me to start with cheap tools, buy a decent bench grinder and be prepared to loose several...

Noted on the PPE Soundman. I've been looking at masks, particularly some of the 3M ones- I used some really excellent 3M masks when I worked in the Port Kembla steelworks, working around stuff far...

Okay, duly noted. Thanks.

I was talking to an old furniture restorer on Friday, and he recommended Record, Tough, and Woodfast. He wasn't fussed on Teknatool though- I gather a lot comes down to...

...And I saw one of these;
531161 - Buy Wood Lathe Swivel Head W/Stand 1100MM Model - MACHINERY | Gasweld

Now, granted, I know very little about lathes, but this unit seemed pretty solid, and...

Oh dear, I appear to have (re?)started an old flame war. My apologies- Most definately not my intention.

Bob, with regard to my comment on John's Mitre saw video, I was more looking at the black...

Thanks for the good input here folks!

I'm afraid neither of those links work for me Bob, but I'll try to chase that stuff down later.

I'm in two minds at the moment, and really, I'm leaning...

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the quick reply.

What I'm shooting at is the fine dust collection.

What I have in mind for myself is a 2HP dust collector of the flavor offered by Carbatec or Hare and...

Hi All,

We've just started the wonderful legal process of buying a shed and attached house, and I'm looking at getting the shed set up as a workshop.

Having trawled through a number of highly...

I'm looking at table saws at the moment too. I'll probably be buying in about 6 months, and I'm not coming from something quite as good as a WC2000... Oh no, I've been using a 909 table saw from...

I'll be watching this thread with interest. I have the semi-identical cousin of your router in the 1250W Ryobi, and I had been wondering at how to do a proper lift for it.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I got the frames and legs on my skinny little table all glued together today, and also got a coat of her ladyship's preferred flavor of white onto the frame, as seen...

Hey all,

Just recently been bitten by the woodworking bug, thanks to that YouTuber-man, Steve Ramsey. Searching for various things on the subject of woodworking lead me here!

I'll probably be...
