Found what I needed, thanks.

No, Mayne Australia Specialty Timbers doesn't have anything, so still looking...

Thanks very much Mobyturns, I will ask them.

Hi, I’m after some Northern Silky Oak (Cardwellia sublimis) in 100x100mm size, enough for 4 dining table legs so about 4 x 800mm. I'd be willing to pay for shipping too if anybody has some that...

Well done mic-d, very impressive!

I have an imperial set of W. L. Fuller brad points which I'm happy with, but for metric brad points I use this set from Famag which is excellent. Pricey though.

FAMAG Wood Twist Drill Bit Set...

Ah true, my suggestion is similar to that proposed by mic-d in Post 12 - I didn't look at that closely enough. By putting it together at 45deg I meant that when the piece with the keyhole shape is...

....remembered something from school..

What about this:

Not sure if he only uses hand tools, but the slot in the finger could be cut with a router (a bit at a time, with plenty of support, carefully!) then the piece with the...

Looks like The Tool Exchange has one:
Stanley Bedrock No 604 With SW Cutter - Tool Exchange

I agree snowgum, they have an amazing array of tools available - many of which are hard to find. I've bought from them on a few occasions but if something isn't in stock then you do have to get used...

They don't look very heavy so another option to consider is to use a drop ship company to save some money on shipping from the USA.

Does the 2nd last photo show a No. 6? You have a No. 5 listed. A bit hard to see on that angle but it looks like it says No. 6

Perhaps the first photo is a stock photo and the others are the item for sale.

Mr Bush, in your experience, what were the advantages of the HNT Gordon spokeshaves over the Veritas ones?

Hi, I'd like to know what forum members have experienced with regard to the relative merits of cloth-backed vs paper-backed sanding belts for edge sanders. Thanks

Thanks Ian, I was hoping you would weigh in. :)

From what I can tell Adam, it appears that second cut files are the way to go with saw sharpening, but someone experienced may need to advise on that.

I too am a complete novice to saw sharpening so some of our more experienced members may like to answer this, however it appears from here Bad Axe Saw Sharpening Files by Friedrich Dick that you...

As a Bahco dealer I found that your local Total Tools will get them in for you if you ask them. Back in April this year they ordered in for me 2 unhandled second cut Bahco 160mm Needle Three Square...

I have a couple of these and kudos to Ian - they are superbly made.

Yes, hard to find one isn't it. There's a fella on Gumtree who has one for sale though:
Bosch Bosch GOF 1600 CE Router | Power Tools | Gumtree Australia Banyule Area - Ivanhoe | 1303084490

Bargain! Considering you can't get them anymore here.

Amazing. How old do you reckon that one might be Log Dog?

Good point Mobyturns - I've noted that about the borers.

Thanks for the warning Mobyturns, that's good to know - I have used the related Red Siris before and know what you mean... I think you could be right Log Dog - looking at online pics of Albizia...

Ok, thanks powderpost.

Has anyone had experience turning any of the Albizia species? We have an Albizia tree, possibly an Albizia lebbeck which needs to come down and I've been told it's related to Red Siris/Mackay cedar...

Thanks very much Ian, much appreciated!

The leaves are usually more open than that during the day - those pics were taken toward evening.

Hi, does anybody know what the name of this tree is? I've been told that it isn't an Australian native. It was planted in our backyard about 30 years ago and now it unfortunately has to be removed....

Hi Barri,

Looks like North East Industrial Supplies has them for $9.60 + postage:

Hi Chris,

Checking the Corrimal MS website Corrimal Community Men's Shed Cyclone Dust Collection System. - Automatic Cyclone DC System it seems that the damage to the wall of the impeller housing...

I'll take the hold fasts thanks, PM to come.

There are still some Mafell jigsaws available on eBay which as far as I can tell do ship to Australia.

I'll take Plane No. 1 thanks. PM to come.

I don't have any plywood edges to paint Graeme, but I still want to commend you for giving of your time and posting such a detailed and no doubt helpful response to that question. Kudos to you sir!

May I please ask your reasons for preferring non-plated hinges China?
Thanks

Ah, sorry, I thought the airflow went up into the ceiling. All good then. :)

Hi Andrew, nice job with your extraction setup! In the interests of constructive criticism, it looks like that 45deg junction behind and just to the left of your drill press is oriented such that...

Hi Bob, where did you buy that diamond side wheel, and did it already have the correct bore size for your grinder?
Thanks

I agree, that's a really nice box RGP, a real pity they didn't buy it.

I'll take it, PM to follow

Hi Lyndon, if we want to calculate the density we want the measurements in units of kg and cubic meters and then divide the kg by the cubic meters to get the density in kg/m^3.

So in this case...

That should be about 947.7kg/m^3

Bargain! These filters are $875 each from Clearvue Oz these days... I already have one, but all the best for the sale.

Hi Sapherion, I'll take the plane screwdriver thanks. Will message.

Hi, how much for postage to 4560?
Thanks

That is beautiful! I'll take it. PM to come.

Thanks Sapherion, sounds like a great unit but on further reflection I'd prefer one that takes a 1/2 inch bit natively. So I'll pass this time and leave it for someone else.
Thanks
