I was thinking more of personal use in the future. Buy some of the exotic timbers now for potential future use. Certainly wouldnt be buying commercial amounts with the intention of an additional...

I'll take them if you dont mind

Fed up with waiting a week for carbatec and timbecon postage I had some time to pop into my local place this week - they're only open during the week. Speaking to the the guy, business was slow and...

Wow, thanks for the advice all.

I meant to make a comment about snipe, but forgot. Again, being new to this and only having read about it I had not fully appreciated that this was snipe. I think...

So I've recently joined my local woodworking club and decided on trying to make a stacked box out of a floor boards I had lying around.

I was thinking this would be a good 1st project as it was...

It certainly is an amazing resource. I think the historical standard in manuals/instructions resulted in me initially trying to hack my way through the process without looking at it. But having...

O, I do feel stupid. Section 15 of the manual provide details for assisting in reducing/eliminating tearout :B

Thanks. I will try these out

As the title says really. I've just started using my Leigh Super 12 jig for the first time to try and make a stacked box. Think timber version of the plastic craft boxes

Admittedly, I am using...

Before I go paying for a Leigh 128-8 router bit from Carbetec, and pay ridiculous postage cost to wait a week for its delivery, I dont suppose anyone has one lying around they no longer use?...

I saw the same video the same day. Jonathan did point out it was cheaper than you can buy the parts for :p

But agree with you, it looks the spitting image - considering it myself.

I cant add anything useful, but this looks identical (face and endgrain) to the floor boards I have in my 1950s weatherboard home in Altona.

I too have been wondering what flooring I have. Working...

Before I seek forgiveness from SWMBO, I'm guessing this was collected?

For what it's worth, as a new member myself, I believe you have to post several times prior to being able to send and/or receive messages via private messaging function. I dare say this is why you...

Mike Farrington made his own - albeit side mounted. Table Saw Overarm Dust Collection, Shop Built x 2 - YouTube

Regarding ceiling mounting, the first thing that comes to mind would be lying in a...

Ouch! Glad to hear the resulting injury wasn't too serious. Definitely a scary reminder of what could/can be. Colleague did similar with his thumb pad.

Hope the recovery isn't too long and...

Surely Clearview would be the obvious choice to withdraw, given they appeared to provide a comparable product for a much lower cost vs. competitors. Given costs everywhere have risen, they would be...

Yes, I saw this the other day. few surprises on the facwe of it. Althouhg, after watching a second video about choosing the right joint for the job, one of the take outs was consider the loading...

Flying up from Melbourne to visit friends in Wakerley this coming weekend. If you'd be able to deliver for me and happy to take $250 I'll take it.

no intention to low ball you, I've just noticed...

Thanks for the pics and details Johnny, much appreciated. Your space is almost as identical to what I had allocated for the workshop - but also I have to keep in mind I will have temporary use of the...

Thanks for everyone's feedback. Unfortunately, I don't think we will be able to stretch the garage to a triple garage - i.e. single for the classic camper and kayaking toys, and double for a...

Thanks Jim,

I'm hoping that working on the car will be an infrequent event ;) so any extra space can be shared with the workshop. Also, all of my workshop tools will be on mobile bases.

I had...

Hi all,

As I'm planning to make the move towards having a designated space for some woodworking, I've been reading around some of the sub-forums and it seems a common theme that the earlier you...

A great read and a great piece Dom. Just doing a bit of a read up on outdoor furniture for a potential future project. How are the table and benches holding up? and the cover :)

Cheers

sorry to dig up a slightly older thread. I'm not sure how I came across reading this thread - probably as a result of searching for something and doing background reading.

Anyways, I remembered...

Thanks all for the welcome. Been reading a lot on here and currently digesting the dust extraction portion of the forum as the wife and I are currently in the early planning of a knockdown/rebuild. ...

Just chucking my hand up to say hi. Based in Altona, VIC. Joined a short time back and I've been reading a few posts - this is when I realised it would probably be an insult to even call myself a...

12months early but a deal I feel I can't turn down.

I'll take it.

Just gotta figure out transport to Altona
