Hey guys

Restoring a buffet and after sanding bare have coated with tongue oil. Long story short it doesn’t look good and I know want to paint it.

I have many water based primers and paint. The...

All good mate. The more recommendations the better.

This looks really good and cost effective it works like advertised. If I hadn't already ordered something else I would do some more research on this. Maybe down the track...

I've been thinking about it a lot (what went wrong). I've watched others use the gun for spraying poly and they didn't have any issues. I don't think I stirred the poly enough before pouring it into...

Thanks for the advice. I've ordered a LVLP spray gun (1.3mm nozzle) off ebay (similar price) so I'll see how that goes. Def concerned with how much CFM is required to use the HVHP guns considering my...

I primed and painted this using an airless Dulux spray gun. Mostly no issues. However, spraying poly was a disaster and thankfully I tested it on a different piece first. I ended up rolling the poly...

That looks great. What you've described sounds good and a good price. A lot of people have mentioned the cheaper guns can work just as well as the more expensive ones... just with less...

G'day Guys, I'm looking for any advice on buying a spray gun to apply polyutherance? I have a duluxr airless and whilst it's been good enough for paint... not so good with finishes. I have a...

Thanks again for sharing. Would love to make something like that myself sometime soon.

Thanks. I've looked everywhere and it looks like an undrilled plate it is.

Hi guys,

I've spent the last 2 days scouring the web for a pre-drilled router insert plate for my Makita RP2301FC. Has anyone managed to find one they could share?

Failing this... any good...

Wow, that looks incredible... well done. My only suggestion would be to update the hardware to something more modern. doup.com.au have a huge range and they're in Aus.

Can i ask... how did you fix...

Whats the verdict on the Detroit?

I want to buy a track saw and not sure I'm ready to fork out for an expensive one. Only needed for occasional use.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I went Sydney Tools planning to buy the Makita LS1219L (after essentially a flip of a coin). Whilst they were trying to locate the box.... I changed my mind after...

I've been in the garage this evening trying to make some square cuts and admittedly some further adjustments we're needed. Having said that I haven't been able to get a cut that is satisfactory so...

I like that the LS1219 has mitre angle locks.

The Bosch GCM 12 GDl doesn't mention whether thats a feature.

I'm thinking my decision is between these two brands. I'll likely get the 305mm as I...

Relieving to know it's not just me haha. What did that saw set you back if you don't mind me asking?

Excellent points, thanks.

I've read good, bad, and even great reviews for the saw I own. As a somewhat beginner it can be difficult to explain the problems I've encountred with it. One of the...

Sliding compund mitre saw. I don't necessarily need the sliding part just yet but I don't want to be limited in the future. Hoping this is a one time purchase and I can get quite a few years out of...

Thanks. I know what you're getting at. I'm hoping if I spend $1200 or whatever that it will be for something that will last me for 20 years too. I just need a few reccomendations on these newer...

Hi guys,

Looking for reccomendations for a new mitre saw? I'm a weekend hobbyist and work out of a double garage. The mitre saw will be permanently situated along within a work bench.

I like...

Ahh ok that makes sense. I'm hesitant to put a finish over it as it is. Maybe I'll look for a light colored stain.... I just don't want it to turn out worse.

Hi Guys,

I'm in the process of restoring an entry table. It was originally stained and I sanded the whole thing back... added primer and painted it grey.

After waxing the top I was disappointed...

Thanks for all the replies.

I've found heaps of adds online that have seemed to good to be true.... applying everyone's advice I can now see they aren't what they appear to be haha.

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense and I'll keep that in mind when looking at future pieces.

G'day Graeme. I hadn't even considered that it could be veneer... so thank you. I'm not sure and I guess I'll have to message the seller to find out one way or the other.

If it was all teak is it...

Hi Guys,

Newbie here. I'm looking to improve my skills and want to attempt making some sort of table top (or coffee table, end table, entry table etc). I want to use a nice hardwood that's better...

They hid the cfm just below the main title on the product page haha. As far from the specification section as possible. It's 109 so I'm really happy I decided to post here before buying.

Appreciate the advice. I'll be ordering the DC3 and go from there. Cheers

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll spend some time today looking at the specs of both so I can properly understand the difference in capabilities.

Thanks fir the reply Bob.

Would it make any difference that I’m planning to move around the dust collector to each machine as I’m using it? As opposed to creating a whole shop type setup.

I...

Hi Guys,

I've recently got into woodworking and have been rapidly expanding my collection of tools whilst transforming my garage into a workshop (much to the delight of my wife as there is no...
