Hi all,

I'm putting a small (20-25sq/m) hardwood timber floor over a concrete slab. I was planing on using hardwood battens on top of the concrete, with finished floorboards over battens. My...

Hi Occam,

Curious to know - Do you really need to have contiguous shelving as you described?
Since you are storing books, have you considered bookcases? I find it more attractive/versatile to...

Hi Pat,

The only things i'd recommend is to wet the area before applying the render, and maybe add some PVA or similar (bondcrete) to help the render stick.

Vgolfer,

Sorry to answer your question with a question... but why was it necessary to use the yellow tounge AS well as your timber flooring? Most cases I have seen this done is when the...

Another option is not to use the villaboard and use another material that is thicker/stronger (is there a thicker villaboard??) that allows you to pack/screw the sheet in place. Maybe something like...

Just a warning -NEVER- assume an active or netural as a particular colour!
For example in 3 phase the active colours are red, white and blue. Also in switching cables i've seen many sparkies use red...

As a newsagent I get to view quite a number of woodworking magazines ;) , the subscription area for publishers has always been a problem as far as I can remember (over 20 years exp.) - especially on...

Hi Sturdee,

Lol sounds like you got a reasonable set of instructions! Wait till you get the ones written in chinese and the pages look like its been photocopied 10 million times and you can hardly...

Hmmm, <gulp> I will look at it this weekend, but why do I have the feeling the same applies to me.

Thanks guys, does clarify things a little :)

Gatiep,

Could you expand your example further for me and tell me the load the lighting circuit will see (at 240 Volts), or is it the same as the light - being 2 Amps. If thats the case our average...

Hi Steve,

Have you tried web searches? I find Yahoo ( www.yahoo.com.au)pretty good for me, but the others such as altavista, msn, etc are equally good.

There are heaps of suppliers out there....

Thanks Sprog,

My 3612 is exactly as silent C describes. Its been a bugger for years since new... Put me off using the thing. I've changed bits from Carbi-tool / CMT and other cheaper brands, ALL...

Thanks Justin, certainly a good site. Interesting there isn't an Australian equivalent. Too busy working I assume :)

Hi all,

Buying a small Joinery in the near future and I would like to hear of any pro/cons/tips etc from people already in the game (I'm from a totally different industry, so it will be a new...

Also, how about a bike shop and grips for handle bars - moulded or tape, I think some tapes are leather as well.

Dean,

I have also purchased 2 machines from Carba-tec in the past having 15 amp plugs, one thing i noticed AFTER installing new circuits etc. was that the leads on the machines were so damn short...

Further to the above magazines mentioned, I find the American "Best of" of these publications to be extremely useful. They are rare, only produced once or twice a year and are reasonably expensive at...
