Very nice work Ian, I too like the contrast of the splines.

Tell me, how did you do the rosette? Was it all hand carved?
:2tsup:

I have what appears to be the same model and I can only reiterate what has already been said.

For the limited use I give it it has been acceptable for my needs.
:2tsup:

She's special

I have the BP355 and, like you, only use it infrequently.

I have no complaints so far. It resawed some 200mm camphor logs with ease and I seemed to get it set up reasonably accurately considering...

Cool :cool:

Ruddy, looks like we are on together on Saturday morning.

We can catch up and I can tell you how your old tablesaur is going.
:2tsup:

Those times look great for me jmk89

Thanks for the update.
:2tsup:

Well, I'm getting suspicious now...:?

That weekend is the weekend of my 40th birthday... I just asked SWMBO if she would mind if I went on the Sunday as well, and she offered to pay for a hotel so...

I am happy to do the early run on Saturday, maybe 2 hrs.

Does this fit with the spreadsheet?

I don't want to miss lunch though, i wanna get some extra chilli in Pat's szechuan beef and watch...

I'll be there again.
:2tsup:

Don't really know what I'm getting yet, but will think of something.

Are we gonna do lunch again?:?

Excellent looking work....

Krenov is certainly on my TUIT list.
:2tsup:

Groan....
:no:

Welocome! :D

My apologies for not making it,

I had wife issues that couldn't be resolved and had to take my dog to get his stitches out.

I hope there will be another meeting.

Rob.

WoW
:doh:
now that is a shed!

There is no plural of Mykonos, it is an island, there is only one.
:no:

29th works for me.
:2tsup:

Another bad weekend for me I'm afraid. Daughter's school fete...

I could come to the next one if this is a good weekend for most other folks though.
:?

I would be up for it too....

someone has got to keep an eye on Pat...:wink:

Woodshow weekend would also be bad for me.

Great idea Clinton, I've been hoping something like this would come...

Thanks for the thought folks but I found a motor.

Thanks for the words of encouragement Fencepost.

Having let it cool it seems to be fixed at a good 90 deg.

I think I got away with this one :2tsup:.

I have planed up all the dovetails and...

OK

so I just applied some heat to the joint with an air gun. I didn't go so far as to scorch the wood, but the glue residue did start to turn amber in colour.

I then put the base in the vise...

Thanks Zsteve, just the answer I was expecting, but not hoping for.
:no:

I need a little help and advice...

I started making a dressing table for my daughter at the end of the christmas hols.
...

Finally, it arrived at 4pm

It is built, I just need to set it up now.

I have the obligatory few spare washers left over too. :doh:

Thank God for chain blocks. :2tsup:

Rob

hey, Orraloon,

did you get your saw yet?

I am on my second day off work waiting for delivery.

I really hope it comes today.

Rob

Welcome to the woodshed Chris.

This is what I like so much about this forum.

Honest and erudite comments.

I agree I am more likely to go at a slightly dull yet easy to sharpen blade more regularly than the...

OK, after doing a bit more reading, I am sold n the Academy blade.

I will give them a call today to check on price and availability. HNT Gordon's website doesn't seem to show price for them.
...

thanks for the tips guys, great response time. :2tsup:

I need to look at Academy... biab

or, are the Lie Nielsen blades better?
:?

I am looking for christmas presents that my wife can get for me.

I want to get a Hock blade for my Grandfather's old Stanley #4 that I had sent over from England.

I have been looking on the PWS...

The deed is done. :U

I decided to hold out for the sale and the saw was down to a very reasonable $770 inc GST.

The only trouble is it is on a ship somewhere off Singapore according to Dave at...

Thanks for that info R3R

I did go to look in the flesh and I agree it did look like the better saw.

I didn't do DJ's test though and was wondering if you could comment in the flex of the frame...

of course you do Derek, as do I.

I'm just awaiting the fruits of my tax return.

We should compare notes at a later date.

Have you managed to find a min and max blade width on the specs...

Seems like nobody owns one then...

Well I took some time today to drive to H&F to have a look at this machine.

As I have a very limited knowledge of bandsaws I can only compare it to the other...

Yes it's another "I'm looking for a bandsaw" thread.

I have searched and found no reports on this model.

BP 355

Can anyone tell me if it is worth while, I'm trying to keep under the $1k mark.

whoa, great price bigshed, thanks for that.

Rob

IanW, you have a very good point. I think I may have my focus all wrong and should be adapting my work practices to suit.

My joinery does not involve dowels or dominos. The project I am doing at...

Oh and I checked a local motor vendor in Wollongong and he wanted $500 for a similar motor

Crikey!

ok, so I called Royce Cross and they can sort me out for about $340. Nice bloke

I called Suann rewinds in Caringbah on the advice of Mini and he says he has got what I want for $180-$200, although...

my jig thoughts...

sorry I have been slow to respond, I have been focussed on getting my shed sorted for a table saw. Oh and a trip to the vet with a sick puppy on friday night.

I am glad this thread is turning into...

Thanks Misterwippy,

i did see their site on my travels but the largest motor on the list with a 19mm shaft is 1.5hp. The 2hp is a 24mm shaft and i dont want to have to get a new pulley. I will...

I would like to start by sending my personal thanks to Ruddy for selling me his old table saw. Ian, you are a gentleman.

I got the saw home ok and it slid down some timbers off the trailer without...

thanks for the considered reply kman.

I was having a bit of a rant last night.

It does seem that a shooting board improvement is in my future. With regard to the sharpening, you are right. I...

Thanks for the tip Glen, I will look into David's video.

Pat, erudite as usual, :q

did u check out those logs in Bellambi?

very funny,

payed.

Ever since getting back into woodworking a couple of years ago, I have continually encountered the recurring nightmare that is "squaring the end of a board".

Firstly, let me set the scene. I am a...

Thanks for the info Tex

Great job Tex

I know WW has said he hasn't found a decent rule joint hinge for years, but where did you find yours and what did you think of them?

Again, great craft. Most worthy.
