It can be worthwhile talking to a technical rep from one of the paint manufacturers, there are specific undercoats to deal with painting over powdercoat finishes. We had this done professionally to a...

Thanks Derek,

Perfect, I'll see you then.

Hi Derek,

I'd love to come and pick up the clamps and coping saw. Ideal for me would be around luchtime on Monday if that would work for you?

I'm pretty sure they make some that are specifically for pruning.

I bought one a few years ago, telescopic aluminium pole with a pruning saw and lopper attachment. I think the pole is about 7 meters or so which has been brilliant for being able to prune trees on...

I can't vouch for the huon pine; however I've made a few handles out of small Jarrah offcuts and soaked them in Macadamia oil. They have proved to be quite durable and don't really show any wear...

Would 11am be OK for you

Hi Derek,

I will be down your way this Saturday morning and could find a home for the roller stand and the bucket of biscuits. I just finished the last of my triton biscuits making a pair of small...

To reply to Mountain Ash, I think there is a lot of everything mixed up to get a good result, It was really nice to be able to experiment with Derek on the weekend to get a feel for what a well set...

Thank you to Derek! I had a wonderfully informative session last Saturday. Starting with a look at some of the amazing furniture Derek has made and trying to wrap my head around how accurate the...

I have repaired a couple of ceilings this way, both the old style plaster sheets and newer paper faced gyprock where we were wanting to avoid needing to flush, sand and repaint the whole ceiling. We...

Thanks again to all the words of advice in the above posts. I have tried to take it all on board and read a bit more (including Derek's sharpening guide on his website inthewoodshop.com). I was also...

I can happily recommend the Fiskars X25. It is the best I have ever used by a long way. I split and stacked about 12 cubic meters of firewood this year and typically did about 4 hours a day over a...

Thank you all for the kind words of advice and assistance. In reply to the comments above:
- Derek, thank you for the kind offer, that would be great to be able to work through it with your...

I have had a bit of fun over the last few weeks learning how to get an old Stanley #4 plane working nicely trying to flatten out a fairly highly figured jarrah slab. Unfortunately I hadn't realised...

I have been using them for balustrade posts I have been making at the moment. They seem to be quite good for drilling stainless (what they are made for), after 80 or so holes in 10mm flat bar they...

You could try Hughans Saw Service is Osborne Park, they supply blades cut to length. They were quite helpful when I was trying to match something for an old Robland combination machine.

Now all sold.

Hi Biggus,

Thanks. I have got two of the 1.5m boards left, both with 1 face dressed. The longer boards are there which I can cut down for you if the problem is fitting lengths into a car, so no...

Update on what is left.

If wanting to buy small bundles I have been working to the following:
$10 per linear meter for the 25x100mm
$15 per linear meter for the 40x100mm
$20 per linear meter...

Thanks, I've sent a PM to tee up a time to pick up.
Cheers

Hi Swifty,

I have sent a PM.

1.2 cubic meters of New Guinea Rosewood timber. Pickup from Darlington (Perth Hills), WA.

$3000 ONO.


Happy to negotiate for a smaller amount if you don't want the full lot.


Sawn boards...

Thanks for the responses, it helps a lot. I have had a bit more of a look at the descriptions on NGR and it seems to fit, also it certainly does have a most beautiful scent so I am thinking that it...

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help to identify the timber in the below images. It is said to be an eastern states native and used for furniture. Apart from that I haven't been able to find out...

Hi Derek,

Just what I am looking for! I can pick it up first thing Sunday morning if you are around?

Thanks
Daniel
