Sold. I bought and picked this up on the WE.

PM sent.

Have done.

I suspect this is a scam of some sort. Just got this PM from someone in Atlanta with zero posts to date.



Hello pm the seller gmail below for faster response, I was also interested guest he...

I'll take if still available. I'm in Redland Bay too.

I've recently made some frames for my own photography. The largest being 900 x 700 in 65mm DAR. I have a track saw and made myself a 90°/45° mitre jig. After some "tuning" of the track stops I...

What about form ply?

Both the Japan black and black stains I mentioned in my first post here were Feast Watson Prooftint.

I ended up spray painting the frames with one coat undercoat and three light passes on satin...

All,

Obviously there's some fundamental issue that I'm missing so please enlighten me!

I'm making some simple picture frames that I want to be black. I could paint them but I thought I'd stain...

Thanks for the wisdom Gents.

I went back to the jig and tried again, making two small changes. First was supporting the track saw track mid span as I suspected that my pushing the saw may have...

So, stupid (It seems to me) question:

How does one do accurate 45° miter joints?

I'm making a 900mm x 700mm picture frame out of 65 x 18 pine DAR that for reasons of finish, must be painted and...

I'm sure Solid Edge is way ahead of Sketchup but the 2017 freeware version is still out there if you look hard enough.

...and done.

Gents,

Getting the angles right was a lot easier than expected once I had things laid out.

I made and glued two leg sets (each with two legs, one lower and one upper stretcher) by cutting the...

Dowels this time around.

Yes, that's my intention. Each face of a leg is parallel to each other leg. The only angle is in the end of the stretchers that allow each leg to lean in to the opposite leg.

Thanks for all of the replies gents.

The legs are square stock.
The ends of all stretchers are at 6° to the legs, giving the lean in.

Thinking about this, I think I can (dry fit try first)...

Thanks Derek. Agree, but my question/conundrum was about cutting the bottom and top of the legs so the ends are flush with the floor and the seat.

Hi all,

I am slowly working my way up from total WW newb by building small but increasingly complex (for me) projects. Below is my next little project as I need somewhere to sit while pondering...

Old saw picked up and new saw delivered. All I've done so far is a test cut but that was spot on. I assume then that the issue was the particular saw I got the first time rather than a design issue.

Bosch won't give me a refund but are sending me a new saw, so that's something.

Twosheds, yep, seen and complied with.

Hi all,



I recently purchased this saw but found it had a >-1° error in the angle of the cut when the bevel adjustment was set at 0°. I sent it back for this to be fixed, got it back and...

Hi all,

I've just acquired a Bosch variable speed plunge saw and I have what I thought would be a simple question...........what speed to use for a given blade and material?

The explanation for...

Hi all.

I am very much the beginner but am trying to get moving.

I have two old Stanley No 4 planes with new blades.

I've built a shooting board but I think I need a bigger plane for that?
...

I've decided to go with the corded Bosch. Better price and cut depth, and not limited in blade choices, just a simpler option.

That's what I'm thinking.

Sadly for the conspiracy theorists.............these apps all about cost and nothing else. Apps like sinonsite save the builders money through a much reduced need to WHS staff, ensure the law is...

Hi all.

I'm looking at getting a cordless plunge saw for small hobby projects at home, and was about to press the button on the Bosch GKT 18V-52 GC. But............the blade is 140mm which seem...

Don't know about tracking apps but the last few projects I've been on the induction, TBT and sign-on has all been via an app. Signonsite will sign you in if you are in the vicinity of the job.

Thanks Graeme.

By glazier...you just contact your local retail glazier and order the glass, cut to size?

I ask because I've found I can get all the other bits here and there but glass seems to...

I use Nortons password manager because it was free with our Nortons antivirus subscription.

I find it works very well. In my work I have hundreds of internet sites that need the URL, username and...

Hi all.

Just planning a new project to be made from some marine ply and oak. I have a few metal work files from decades ago but no files or rasps specific to wood work. Would appreciate any...

All done!

I bought a rasp bit which made short work of loosening up two of the peg holes in the bench top to allow any easy fit with no lateral slop when the tops are in place. Some putty into...

Thanks Skywarka. The vice is on the to do list somewhere.

This weekend I've finished the build but there's still some refining work to do. I purchased a Bosch electric plane which made short work of cleaning up the two laminated tops.

For reasons I can't articulate I ended up getting the Bosch GHO 26-92D Planer. Very impressed with it; much quieter than I expected, the duct bag works well.

Thanks. Did that but obviously not enough.

Its a workbench, not show furniture so I'm not too stressed.

Yesterday I glued up the second leg set with no dramas. I bought a silicone brush which made applying the glue easy as. The glue up was a 5 minute job.

I then set about pegging the other leg...

The few hours I got in this weekend was about assembling the legs.

Thanks for feedback on height. I've cut the legs to the maximum height I could being 940mm which will give me a finish height...

Cutting the tenons and morticing the legs was straightforward although I admit to measuring 10 times and cutting once. No serious mistakes made thus far. Another change I made was to the design of...

Hi all.

I thought I'd share my Moravian workbench build journey with you and I'm more than happy to hear any (constructive) critique, hints and "next time" advice.

Thank you to those of you...

I've had one of these cheap Bosch sharpeners for years. Get it out every year or so and go through the box of drills. Seems to work ok.

Bosch Drill Bit Sharpener IOB - Tool Exchange

Meant to say too that I have a Spyder to calibrate it.

I have one of these LG IPS monitors.

32'' Full HD IPS Monitor | 32MP58HQ | LG Australia

Calibrates well and the big screen gives a big work space.

Thanks Gents.

Looks like the Makita has the popular vote. The Bosch is marginally quieter and with my hearing that would be a good thing but I doubt the difference would be noticeable.

Cheers.

Hi all.

I'm in the market for an electric planer and would appreciate any experienced advice. Use is DIY woodworking.

I'm brand agnostic having had Bosch, Ryobi and Makita power tools over the...

Not news to me. I'm building a Moravian workbench from laminated 90 x 45 DAR pine. I scrounged half the timber from the 5 nearest Bunnings stores and had to order in the last 13 pieces. I ordered...

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Hi all.

I'm laminating some 90 x 45 pine DAR for a work bench top using Sikabond PVA. The data sheet says "high bond strength within 24 hours" and "maximum bond strength within 48 hours".
