Bob,

1. If you can make it to the Canberra T&WWW show this weekend, go to the Padgham upholstery stand. They are very helpful and full of good advice. Take some photos with you if you can.

2. I...

Hi everyone,
My profile says I've been a member since 2006, and I have only posted 16 comments. I'm not really slack. It's just that until this time last year I had to earn my keep (although some...

Thanks Wolffie. I'll bear that in mind.

Hello members,

I'm about to start building a new house. About two thirds (120M2) of the floor will be T&G hardwood, into hardwood joists. I've just ordered from Carbatec an Archer flooring tool...

Hi again,

It looks like the image didn't transmit. I'll try and find another.

Joe

Thanks for the reply. The only image I can find is this:...

I checked out Monaro timbers. They're very helpful for timber, but would buy in melamine/laminex panels for machining, and he wasn't sure about edging. I haven't been to the others yet.

Thank you both. I'll follow up on Monday or Tuesday, and post the outcome in this thread.

Joe

Help!

I'm trying to find a supplier of laminated panels that will supply them cut them to size. I now live near Yass, and can travel to Canberra or Queanbeyan if necessary.

Previously, in north...

Hi everyone,

I keep bees, and one of the jobs from time to time is wiring bee frames. To get the tension right, and keep the frames square, a jig is needed. I can buy one for $85, but they look...

I've just read this thread, and found it interesting. Thanks for the comments.

I agree with those recommending recaning. You'll never get a chair that was originally caned to look right...

My son, a cellist, posted this link on his facebook page. I didn't know whether to post it here or on the general woodwork thread. I hope you enjoy it. Yes, I know the "instrument" could do with...

The arrow mark was to show that it was government property. It was used on everything e.g. military equipment.

I've dabbled in upholstery over the years. My best achievement is a pair of large, library style wing chairs. I currently have two projects on the go.

The first is three utility style armchairs....

Is it hot enough for you yet? Where do you live?

Hi everyone,

I'm Joe, and I live in Townsville. I started woodworking when we bought our first house 30 odd years ago. Like many, I started because I had to! If a job needed doing, I had to do it...

Like many on this forum I have had good experiences with GMC and Triton tools. For example, I had a GMC cordless drill that lasted several years and, among other uses, was used extensively when I...

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking on this forum for a while sampling the fascinating threads. One suggestion is to use a GMC saw under a Triton table. I would advise caution about GMC. Unless you...

Following the thread, some of it is technical (tooth angle etc). That' beyond a simple soul like me. When I said the saw doctor recommended the different blade, I think it was because of the quality...

Hello,
My first post, so be gentle!

I have recently had a variety of saw blades and saws (panel, tenon etc) sharpened. Some of the saws are very old. The circular saws include a Triton and a GMC...
