In Perth it's pretty much impossible to find non-treated construction pine, I had to call a number of timber yards to find some.
My go to for timber (I'm a beginner) is Jarrah from FB marketplace,...

It has enough torque but I think the gun style electric screwdrivers are more ergonomic and allow more control of the torque. However for smaller screws I love my screwdriver.

I bought one of those Bosch electric screwdrivers as I needed something that can get in close to the side and it has adjustable torque. However you can also use the drill as a screwdriver as they...

Thanks for that info. Might have to try the Milwaukee rip blade, it's a bit thicker (my riving knife recommends blade less than 1.4mm and kerf greater than 1.8) but the table saw is corded so as long...

What is the downside of using a thicker blade? As long as the blade kerf is wider than the riving knife, does a thicker blade impact the saw performance much? Just struggling to find a thin blade for...

I've got a quick question. What is the purpose in this case of the secondary bevel?
If the chisel is hollow ground to 20degrees, then a secondary bevel at 3-5degrees, then hone on buffing wheel,...

I believe that "white wheel" was referring to the AlOx grinding wheel.

Funny, I bought one recently as well, and I'm thinking about taking it back because there is significant wobble. At the 40mm wheel, about 0.15mm front to back, and 0.4mm side to side.
Just not sure...

Best bet would be plumbing places like Reece. Bunnings used to have them but I can't find it now. They still do have some 150mm fittings though.

I have absolutely no knowledge of various steels in hand tool usage, but I've been following this thread as I am starting with hand tools and saw the same email.

However what you said about Cryo...

I won't mention anything about handplanes as I'm an absolute newbie at them, but as to that particular table saw, please do not buy it.
I had it, and there are so many issues with trying to get a...

It does take some forward planning if ordering as the edging is approx 1mm thick, so you need to account for that when calculating sizes.
In a kitchen build, not many panels should be wider than...

Maybe you want to do every step by yourself, and that is awesome, but why not utilise the service of the timber place where you're buying your melamine to do the cuts for you? The cost is relatively...

IP is more expensive than an hourly rate. If you're contracted by a client to deliver something for a set fee, that's what you do. How you do it, how long it takes you, what tools and jigs you used...

I've put 3 of these in my small workshop (6x3m).

As a tech savvy user, when I was setting the app up I straight away though about all of the people who are not very proficient with technology as the process is so convoluted.

In "landscape" setup, it's easy enough to put roller stands on the end for outfeed and they fold away for storage when not in use.

Thanks for the suggestion. The idea is that it will all be on wheels with the toolbox wheeled into the garage (access through that door).
But now thinking about it, I might swap it as per your...

And what are your thoughts? The price of decent plywood right now have definitely gone significantly up.

Oh that is perfect. I guess I'll just have to deal with 1.5m long bench if I ever have longer stock than that.

Thanks again!

Hi All,

I'm about to (eventually) start a build of my first workbench. Today, my primary use are power tools and assembly, however I'd like to get more into hand tools.
I've designed a bench that...

Hi,

I'll take it but I won't be able to pick it up until next week as I'm off tomorrow and back on Sunday. Hope you are ok to hold it.

Isn't that what the riving knife should do? Or do you have to use something thicker.

Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I can promise that it definitely won't

Hi, I'd love to pick this up I'd still available. I want to get into hand planing and am a beginner. Let me know and I can pick it up whenever suitable
