That's close but I found only tiny ones. The centre and radius may also be an issue, the ones used in Germany at the time had the centre not "centered" so they tightened the grip when they got closed...

Hi All,

Kirschen is definitely a very good German brand. I bought one of those when I did my apprenticeship as a carpenter in Germany some 40 years ago. I still have it in pristine condition.

Yep, that's the one. To release the brake, only pull the switch trigger (2) halfway through without pushing the lock-off button.

I did have the very same problem and it took me quite a while to figure out what causes this. Actually your chainsaw has a brake. When you switch the saw on, you need to press the safety button on...

From the image here Saw Blade Grinder it looks like the same machine again. What did you do to tune it up?

Hi,

I'd like to get a sharpener for my circular saw blades. There aren't many different models available as it seems. Timbecon has one and Forestwest sells a similar one:

Hi,

I'm right now shopping around for a suitable timber for the sliding windows that I plan to make this winter. I made a prototype of it some time back that worked out quite well.

you are feeding someone elses database with passwords. such as are used to run dictionary attacks. sharing passwords is a very bad idea even without context.

Sorry mate, as soon as you do that your password has been compromised and needs to be changed.

The actual problem here is that account number and BSB are not linked to the person who holds it and it appears that not even the banks keep that information. This is a very Australian problem and...

Hi All,

I went for a walk in the Barossa Gold Fields recently and noticed that they replaced the fences. They used some kind of hardwood for the posts that is very whitish and nice. Looks almost...

I work with Merbau and put a thin layer of Diesel on my tools (sole and blades) before working on it. That prevents any resin from sticking on it.

I don't know what gets exported; my assumption was that it will be all kinds of timber.



It just seems weird that all states would export the very same low value product.

Hi All,

I made a wooden deck a couple of years ago. The timber is not treated and I expected it to develop a nice silver grey patina over time. This did work as expected only on one side (that was...

Where did you find the metric ones?
Roundover router bits | CMT Orange Tools

I just found imperial forstner bits: https://www.carbatec.com.au/sawtooth-bit-set-16-pce-inch-sizes-1-4-to-2-1-8

That's probably the cheaper solution.

Because I've got forstner drills that are metric. A 12.7mm round over bit makes a 25.4mm round batten that doesn't fit in a 25 mm hole.
The drama in Australia is that we obviously just didn't make a...

That would be around 4 to 8 mm for my chessboard, I think that's a bit too much. I guess my best option is to get a moisture meter to be on the safe side. Thanks everybody!
