Thanks guys - was very happy with the finish.

It was all done on the fly with what I had available and ready to go.

And Dallas yes - just responded on that thread.

I have one from a few years back - works well so far for what I need it for (hobby stuff) and such a big price gap to the next combination machine

I have one - works quite well for what it is. I picked mine up 2nd hand - never used - for $150 so really has been worth the money.

Hey guys,

Been a long time between drinks on here. I got side-tracked from a lot of my woodworking as we have been renovating the back-yard for the last few months.

Anyway, I put together the...

Good work mate! Congrats, got some mates on vapour, they love it.

I actually have a good 2 dozen red gum fence posts like this (in varying states of quality) coming out of our fence in the next fortnight, how are you planning to use them as legs?

Will be...

Hi Ian - 2 children under 2 make it hard to get into the shed, plus we are renovating AND I have been sick... all this has led to me being out of the shop for the last fortnight.

Hoping to get...

Good luck! :2tsup:

Bob - thanks for all of that! Very interesting construction and I am very surprised that the dowel holds the bars in! I thought about that as an option but thought you would need more.

I hadn't...

Timbecon are 2 suburbs over and open on Saturdays... I know where I will be soon!

Thanks mate.

Great work Bob - how do the middle pockets go when banging away? Do they sit nicely, or bounce around?

Also any pictures of your dogs that you made up and how you attached the dumbells under the...

Hey guys - so I want to grab a dado but can't seem to find them at any hardware chain I go to - can someone please give me a hint/link on what I should be looking for please?

Hi Ian - I always love a challenge, so why not have a crack :)

The curves under the table - basically looking at using 20m thick pine, cutting it on the scroll saw then glueing to the frame.

Gumtree is your friend. I picked up an old but perfectly working large table saw for $150.

Hi All,

Firstly - thanks to everyone who has weighed in and given advice over this. I haven't responded in a few days as I was dealing with the loss of my first big project... haha

So - we are...

I have formal accounting qualifications so need to be clear here - get some proper, tailored advice and don't make these decisions based on what I. or anyone else online says, as we cannot truely...

MM awesome stuff - do you have a link or photos to show your milling equipment off?

That would be great thanks Ian

I thought about staggering them but didn't have the boards for the right width.

1.8m vs wanting 2.2 to 2.5

They have previously been jointed - previous owner of wood had already prepared them for a table.

I have some jointed spotted gum I could use if it wont damage it?

Guys definitely open to ideas - haven't done this before and learning as I go.

Ok - so treated pine top and bottom to clamp for jointing, no dowels (more than happy to not have to do them!) but...

I need the end caps for length. I am going to put additional support under the table to give additional strength - hopefully this will be OK?

gluing and dowling the 5 lengths together first (yes, with lots of clamps) then each set of ends will go on one side at a time.

Just watched that and...

I have my Grandad's old scroll saw but havent pulled it out yet... was this seriously made on a scroll saw?

Yeah I think I will look at a new fence in time, this one requires measuring with each setting unfortunately.

Can I buy any Dado set for this or do I need something specific? There is plenty of...

Lappa - MCJing have those pipe clamps quite cheap which is great - I have grabbed a few and will get the pipe and extenders from bunnings later in the week. good work.

Picked this up two weeks ago and just configured it. Cuts well and have replaced the blade. Needs a new belt as well but working alright as we go.

Will a termite spray suffice from the big green shed?

Thanks for comments everyone. Was a really good learning experience for me and I am sure it could have been done better but given I have never done it before, nor even used a bandsaw before, it was...

Hey guys thanks for the heads up and comments on bench depth. I was thinking of putting it along the wall but what are people's thoughts on centering it along the back of the shed but it jutting out...

Ok - so yesterday was a busy day. Took about 7 hrs to mill including transport, setup, initial cut, boards and then cleanup.

Below are some photos but the wood came out quite nicely. It was too...

Yes - have a lot of roundup. The yard was a decent mess when we moved in, we have pulled out about a dozen small trees (8 - 14ft) and a number of larger ones. I kept the chestnut trunk from one tree...

Haha thanks. I had uploaded then deleted and edited it to show just the plan, not address. All fixed now hopefully!

Hi guys,

Thought I would share from the start to show what I am upto at home and see if anyone has any helpful tips.
