OK finally paid out the layby - took delivery of a shiny new Carba-Tec BAS-350.
After reading the forums lots I phoned Henry Bros. and ordered a 6mm x 3 TPI and a Bimetal 1/2 X 4TPI. Will let you...

Purpleheart - I take it you remove the cross-side lock so that it doesn't rattle loose when the cross-slide is in motion. Why don't you weight one side of the t-handle so that it always sits to the...

Jill,
I'm with Dingo - damn fine work! (but he said it better).
I have to say, you have me itching to buy a block of land and get building - something I've been meaning to do for the last four...

Aah TTIT, what timing! That BS lifter thingy of yours is JUST what I need! I am going to modify it for the workbench I am building 'cos I have to store the thing against the side of my garage and...

My only worry with the drawers all to the front is the possibility of tipping the unit forward if you pull out a heavily loaded drawer at the bottom. Of course if you're just storing screws and...

TTIT & Jill,
I guess I'm still near CQ - Gympie (like you had to guess!)
Spent a year in Rocky & a year in Mt. Morgan, then 3 years in Biloela. TTIT - you have probably met up with my wife, a...

Minute's up.......

Great looking bench! I have 5 favourites shortcuts to all sorts of benches but none of them show the layout as clearly as the photos in this thread. Its good to know it will be here a while so I can...

Went through two of these grinder wire wheels a day when I was a labourer at a steel works. I had to de-pincushion my shirt every smoko and before going home. SWMBO got MOST upset if she found a...

I don't remember what species it was, but seeing as SWMBO hates spiders.....
Was walking to the loo through the sleepout of a Queenslander home we were renting and caught a glimpse of something lit...

G'day. Have the chance to get a log from a Persimmon tree. Does anyone have any idea how it will turn & what it looks like?
Thanks,
Trevor.

Thanks Cameron, I downloaded the PDF and will have a go - just to try it!

Ahh - OK, haven't heard this one before.....
"CA finished over the top" - sounds interesting. I know of CA to glue in the tube, but to finish? - Could someone point me to a link (I'm sure it's been...

Ruffy - There are only 10 types of people who understand binary, :D those that do and :( those that don't.

I know, too much time on my hands.....

Onya Wild Dingo, I've made a few pens and have yet to charge for one, but then I'm a sucker for an admiring......admirer. Man that sounds cheesy!
I prefer the smooth pens myself, mainly because they...

G'day all - my first post!
I have this same bandsaw and the blade twist is something awful! I have the tension as high as it will safely go and the nylon blade guides where they should be.
