I get the sentiment, because yeah, the price on this is not realistic, but I'm glad this community gets a crack at the morticer Paul has also advertised. Which might be underpriced.

Thanks Matt. I will pass on it for now and let anyone else put up their hand, however if no one else wants it and you are around Melbourne I'll take it. No hurry from my point of view.

Cheers

Sorry, 3057.

Hah, ok, I went off your profile location. Any idea of postage to Melbourne? Or I am not in a hurry.

I'd be happy to take this, if it's available for pickup?

Thanks Rob.

The crown is a neat way to avoid having to drill on the angle. Now to find/modify some.

A cutter to the head would be my worry with parallel sides too, centrifugal force would be enough of a worry, but the internet seems to think they exist. I haven't come across that arrangement...

That's great Rob, thank you, I really appreciate it.

Am I right in observing that the bolts are at 90 degrees to both faces of the gibb rather than at the angle of the rear of the slot in the...

I've no doubt, I have no experience with Hinoki. I believe Japan imports other cypress species for construction use though, including Mac. I could be wrong, the impression is based on chatter from...

Thanks Rob, appreciated.

Threads for the gibbs are right hand, at least those I've worked with before, however to tighten everything in place you wind the screw out of the gibb counter clockwise,...

$4000/m3 might be a rather good wholesale rate, in Victoria I've seen retail of up to $10-15,000/m3. You've got what you've got and can't offer someone their choice of sizes so you'd have to be at...

Cypress is used extensively in Japanese construction, I'm not sure if for Shoji screens but it wouldn't surprise me. Do you have Cypress windbreaks up north? Down here Macrocarpa Cypress is easy to...

I recently picked up an old Hyco 6" jointer, all complete and in reasonable nick apart from cutters and cutter gibbs, which are missing (I'm not talking about the table gibbs).

Does anyone have a...

I'll take both, will PM you.

Sold and taken by aarggh, thank you.

I cannot for the life of me work out how to mark this as sold properly.

I haven't heard from springwater at this stage, so this is still available.

It's yours Springwater.

Friday evening is likely to be the pick of those times, PM me your phone number and we'll have a chat. It's in North Coburg.

I don't know who sailed in the Sydney to...

Oh, I should add, the inside surfaces are primed with red lead. Precautions the same as dealing with old paint are required.

I bought several pieces of a Huon Pine hulled and framed boat at auction a couple of years ago. Most has been salvaged and repurposed however I still have a final piece that's mostly just in the...

I disassembled a fair bit of it today and the spindle is now sitting on my workbench, I still have to remove the chuck and the bottom bearings before I can have a good look at it though. The chuck...

I picked up an old Waldown bench drill this morning, a 50's model as far as I can tell. It's "The New Waldown Drilling Machine", according to both the label on the side and the info here: Brobo...

Hi Repete, is this still with you? I'd happily take it.

I will take the 2" Stanley. Will need postage to 3057

Timber with air circulating around it will eventually hit equilibrium moisture content in relation to that air - neither getting drier or wetter. Here in Melbourne that might be somewhere around...

Also don't assume that a log that's been down a few years is seasoned at all apart from the ends, I've talked to millers about logs decades old that were still very wet when milled.

Sure, but I'm not going to take a punt on whether the bit of LVL I'm looking at meets or exceeds what's printed on its face - the building surveyor and/or engineer won't let me in any case. The same...

I have a couple of quibbles with a couple of the replies above.

The LVL and the KD HW in this instance have the same structural rating (F17), so yes, they are interchangeable but you can't use a...

Would you mind taking a photo or two of your fence setup? I have the same machine and, yes, the fence is definitely its weak spot - it wobbles like cooked spaghetti.

Sorry, I'm not a prospective...

Reliable, good price and you'll probably get your timber when they say you will, which can't be said for everyone...

Damn, not quick enough. Let me know if the sale falls through.

They are in fact draw-bored, the pins have been left proud on the meeting rail and look pretty similar to a clout head until you take the paint off and find end grain.

I've never worked with...

Thanks, I'll have another look when I get to them on Monday. I don't think they are draw-bored, the tenons are wedged and my recollection is enough paint is missing to see that there are no pins. I...

I am looking at restoring a few windows originally made in 1886. Generally they are in pretty good nick, considering they look to have had three coats of paint and no other maintenance in that time,...

Are they boxed heart, ie, is the centre of the tree (very) roughly in the centre of the post? At that size they likely are, depending on what timber is available to you locally, and I'd expect that...

As the title says, I'm on the hunt for a flip saw.

My old makita mitre saw needs too much money thrown at it and is getting relegated to a bodged timber fence and square cuts only. A flip saw is...

Hi, greetings from Melbourne.

I've worked in cabinet making, construction, architecture and timber retailing/trade sales, so I've got a broad interest in timber and know at least enough to be...
