It really is horses for courses. For the forumites here the Workcentre provides sterling service and meets our needs. For others, well their needs and aspirations are different therefore their...

I would think that the use of plastic in the holes is to stop binding. If the hole is in wood and it is a tight fit then any swelling of the wood due to changes in humidity would lead to binding, No?...

Have you considered a zero-clearance insert with splitter as descibed on page 27,volume 1, issue 4, Australian Woodsmith, April 1999?

The slot will then be the same width as the blade, you make a...

I made a double gate using T&G many years ago whilst doing a TAFE woodwork course. The instructor advised clamping the boards together nice and tight. My father (a carpenter) informed me when I told...

I am not sure if this fits your requirements but you can get a two-way slow combustion fireplace. It fits in a wall and has large glass doors on both sides. It only has one flue as it is essentially...

I have seen this done on This Old House a couple of times. They have put a base onto the concrete floor with pre-cut channels in it. Into this they lay the heating pipes with the floorboards going...

Thanks Stu, that puts things into perspective for me as to the role of the neck cloth in assisting positive pressure being maintained.

I am curious as to whether the neck cloth has an effect upon the filtration rating of the respirator. If the neck cloth is breathable fabric doesn't that mean that dust particles can permeate it?...

This is why each chain stocks different brands at the cheap end: Bunnings have Ozito, K-Mart have Arlec, Timbecon have Sharwood, Mitre 10 have another brand and so on. At the budget end you can't go...

I am sorry if I am missing something here but can't you put some noggins between the joists to support the wall? There are pre-fab brackets available that would allow you to do it. I saw them used on...

I have a similar problem to Gina except that the material I want to rip is uneven on four sides, measures 100 x 100 and so will not rip with one pass of the blade. I have to turn it over but then...

That is one of the really good things about Bunnings, their return policy. In line with K-Mart and Target, if you change your mind you can return it for a refund or exchange. I have done that a few...

I happened to read this post today and then accidentally discovered the following website http://www.woodshopdemos.com/bchst-10.htm

As my first post to this forum I would just like to add my 2.2cents worth. A friend who works in Bunnings tells me that the head office sends them stock and that the local manager has little say in...
