I'd like Tiger Myrtle too. Malcom - PM on its way.

Thank you, that's fine.

Anyone out there want only the larger sizes....

Thanks for your replies. I've done some more research, and I was all wrong about Bahco taking over Sandvik, apparently it was the other way round. Later the tools division was sold off, including the...

Helmut,

Is it possible to get a partial set? (Someone had to ask!). I would like option 5, but only 3 mm, 4.5 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm and 12 mm. I'm happy to go along with the general concensus on wood...

I'm in the market for some new chisels. Someone reccommended Bahco to me. Are they any good? I have an old sandvik chisel which is a joy to use. I understand Bahco bought out Sandvik some time ago....

There's a Record 2C currently on ebay - fetching a good price too. Here

Thank you SilentC, I've downloaded that package. The TAFE people told me that I don't need Certificate IV to teach 'liesure' courses like this one, only for award units that are assessed and lead to...

Why didn't the TAFE people tell me that? Yes please, I would like some more information.

Thanks everyone for your input. The course outline is coming along well now.

Thanks for your ideas everyone. The course is essentially for newbies - people who can barely turn it on. The confidence issue is a big thing, I want to instill enough confidence so that people can...

Thanks Papa and Ron. I will be using windows (XP I think) as that is what is available at the TAFE room. The computers there are loaded with Microsoft Office, so I'll use that for the base in...

Hi everyone,
I'm to teach a beginners computing course next year at TAFE - 1 night a week for a few weeks. It is for people who really have no clue and find the whole computer thing intimidating....

Thanks Jo and Skew. I've printed out the manual for the Harbor Freight 38515 - I think this will do the trick. Thanks again.

If you've never taken the cover off, how did you change speeds - or didn't you?

Hello everyone. The other day I was given a dynalink lathe, model 190-93-01000. I have only spent about 10 minutes on a lathe previously, so this is completely unchartered territory. So please excuse...

I second that. I have both a gents saw and a Japanese dozuki for dovetails. It's taken a lot of practise with both saws (several small boxes, about a dozen drawers and a cabinet carcase - plus many...

Welcome Robynmau, your pieces are lovely. Donna's right, you just want to pick them up. I haven't tried turning yet, but the more I see on this forum, the more I think it's time to start.

Kerry, I've sent you an email

Hi kekemo. I belong to a women's woodworking group in Perth. Would you like me to PM you with some details?

Welcome Spring,
Beautiful work.

Yes, PayPal is great for the buyer - quick, easy and relatively safe. For the seller, it can be expensive as fees are paid on the total transaction inc postage. Lets say you sell a reasonably bulky...

If the relative or friend is specifically bidding without intention to buy, and with the sellers knowledge and consent (even encouragement) eBay would see this as shilling. If the seller and the...

Have a look on the ebay forums. You'll find heaps about how good PayPal is for buyers and how risky and expensive (fees) it is for sellers. I believe it is now compulsory for new sellers to offer...

This is called shill bidding, and it is strictly against ebay policy. If you are caught, you will be deregistered. Having said that, the chance of getting caught is probably small.

There is...

I know just the thing. I did an 'introductory woodcraft for women' course at the Australian School of Fine Wood at Dwellingup. There was a five day residential, followed by about 8 weekends. It's...

I ordered mine on the 5th, did the order not go through?

Yum!

Ebay Australia has had a lot of problems lately with its member to member messaging system, including the 'ask seller a question' function. It may be that the seller is simply not getting these...

Welcome Knott, I am pretty new here too, and also from Perth. These forums are great - full of great advice, information, hints and humour. Look forward to pictures of your setup.

Thanks everyone. I notice that not one person suggested I should take the Triton back and struggle on with the GMC. You've all convinced me, I'll keep it. Looking forward to firing it up when I...

Brian, I have considered trying to make a lift mechanism, and I think that is my dilemma. Maybe I should make a lift instead of buying a new router. As you say however, I could never get above...

I can feel the 'buyers remorse' slowly receding.

I'll practise doe eyes in front of the mirror, so I can carefully explain that if I want to safe and produce really good quality stuff, then I...

OF COURSE - SAFETY!!!!

Can't quite match you, I have a Ryobi Trimmer, Ryobi hand held plunge, big GMC and a Record hand router - and now a Triton. This is HWMBO's problem, he just can't...

Hmmmm Not sure how HWMBO will feel about 'just because'. Maybe if I mount it in the table and paint it blue he won't notice.

No time to make anything 'quick smart'. Going away tomorrow and he...

Hi all,

I have recently watched the WWF video on removing the spring from the Triton router and thought this is the router I need for my router table. It currently houses a big GMC with no...

My deepest sympathy to you and your family Mick.

Thank you. I'm really enjoying my woodwork, but don't get as much shed time as I'd like. This is a great forum and I'm learning heaps.
