Hi there JZG,

That's a great question, and one few potential newbies ask.

Firstly, these drawers are 700mm deep, 558 +/- 2mm wide, and 85mm high. These are not small drawers. So it's important...

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all well. (Yes, even you RustyNail and Clear Out).

Ok, so RustyNail and Clear Out clearly don't like 3D printing, and ClearOut may be in the midst of grieving for a...

Hi All,

I hope you're well, and doing some amazing sawdust creation, and that whatever's left is the project you had in mind. (That isn't always the case in my experience, but that's due to my own...

Hi All,

I've been hopping from thread to thread, and as someone who's in the process designing an entire fit out to allow:

1. A actual car to go into the garage... for the first time in "a...

Howdy all,

Now, I realise that this thread is aimed at wood working photography, but can I show you a pic that we've worked way harder than anticipated for?

To understand it, I'd have to give...

Hey Shane,

Glad you're easily "convinced". Hehehe.

Got a simple project? Check.
Could it be done very easily? Check.
Dissatisfied with the "easy route? Check.
Insane enough to go to...

Hi all,

Unfortunately, our house is chaos due to some wildly delayed renovations to the main bathroom & WC, and store room. Of course, this is right on the heels the (thankfully finished) en ...

Hi Fuzzie/Franklin, and everyone else reading the thread :-)

While I hope to see more pics on this thread, there's no harm in chatting to the first brave soul to answer. :-)

Nice to see...

Hi Fuzzy,

Thanks for dropping by this little-used branch of the forum.

I'm glad your photos aren't like your nick name here (fuzzy). Humble photography for my humble challenge seems...

Howdy all,

I've been ambling around the photography section, and I'm hoping to breathe life into it.

Here's my challenge topic:

Take a photo of your current wood working project, exactly as...

Hi there,

Firstly, there's nothing wrong with pocket holes, especially if they're:

1. Used correctly, which is obvious.. and
2. You probably want to put a false front on your drawers if...

Hi there,

Many of these books are quite old, and some can be found even in op-shops (at least near me) for next to nothing. But for free e-book options have a look at this:

Hi Montyp,

Congratulations on your first (albeit belated) post. Welcome.

In light of your forum woes, I think people tenuously linked through wires and radio signals are going to need a little...

Hi All,

Thanks for the responses. I'll definitely consider those suggestions.

Initial thoughts inspired by your responses...

1. Thinking outside the box: The "room inside a room" is an...

Howdy to my CNC (and non-CNC'ing) makers, tinkerers, and DIY nutters. Don't worry, you're my kind of people. No disrespect at all.

I hope you're well. I'm looking for insight, inspiration, tales...

Hi Graeme,

Sorry for the belated response. I can't be too anti social media (I'm on a forum right now, after all). I think there's an important difference between gently reminding people about the...

Hi all,

I hope you're well. I was discussing this tale with a newbie local CNC builder, and I was asked:

"Since Stepper Online says that most of the time you don't need the calibration...

Hi Bone Inspector,

Are you a radiographer perchance? Just curious about the avatar/handle/nick name.

Thanks for the comment. I was wondering if there was any actual interest in my little tale....

Hi Everyone,

I've been engaged in some rather in-depth emails with Stepper Online, and they've been particularly communicative and helpful. There's some major progress and news. I hope it helps...

Hi All,

Just received a new email from the team at Stepper Online, telling me that they've fixed the incomplete table for the dial switch in the CL86T v.4 manual. So you shouldn't have to download...

Howdy everyone,

Please note: This is a "heads up", and not a rant. Although I can understand if you read it this way... that is not my intent, ok?

StepperOnline is well known by many already,...

Hi all,

Now I know this won't be as universally useful to most like the previous posts... but I hope to alleviate the frustration of the "unfortunate few" who have tools with "quirky dust ports"....

Hi Mobyturns,

You're definitely right about how the quality of sauce bottles varies.... and the rueful $5 store comments. A little while ago, I was looking for some cheap rag material at the local...

Hi everyone,

A little while ago, I did a woodworking favour for my better half's dad. However, since most of my projects are of the indoor persuasion, and this project wasn't... I didn't have the...

Hi Beardy,

I appreciate the response. You do make an excellent point about the motorized post driver being heavier to get onto (and off) the post. However, it's the repetition that does the most...

Hi all,

I've been enjoying reading this post. I was raised on a farm, then moved "into town" but spent most of my childhood visiting/working on farms. I also dream of buying the paddock, workshop,...

Hi Toxxyc,

I think we all prefer to make stuff that satisfies our clients/recipients as cheaply as we can get away with. Many folks here often have to "get creative" to find a solution. Often, the...

Hi John (a.k.a: Orraloon)

Thanks for the "heads up" re: images. I've re-uploaded them, so they should work now. Please let me know if they don't.

Also, I've just realised that I placed this...

Hi Everyone,

Just thought I'd share a story with an almost tangential wood working project with you.

My little better half/supreme matriarch of the household (may her arrows ever hit her...

Hi Ray, sorry I'm late to the welcoming party,

Many Aussies are a relaxed bunch, (from what I've seen, it's quite like the Irish), don't take us too seriously, and you'll be fine. :-)

Hi Mountain Ash,

Thanks for the positive feedback. I always worry that I ramble on a bit, and I know my "Brain dump of quirkiness" style doesn't suit everyone. I just try to keep it interesting,...

Hi everyone,

A couple of years ago, my shop vac died, so I did what anyone who doesn't have a full-sized dust extraction system would do. I bought another.

I bought a DeWalt DWV-900L vacuum......

Hi All,

I agree (more or less) to much of what has been said here. Can I tell you a tale that might amuse?

Ok, so I'm not a fan of social media. In fact, my college friends actually created my...

Hi all,

A former college friend of mine in Canada (named Carol) bought the Viking, after hearing about the Voyager from me. She loves it for her smaller wood working projects, but she's almost...

Hi Everyone!

The better half just went on a spending spree in this Black Friday/Cyber Monday. While many things are practical and necessary, I raised an eyebrow at some of the purchases, and to...

Hi everyone,

Now I know I'm late to this party, and this might not be practical for you. However, the maintenance team at my workplace (lead by a lovely old bloke named Ted) bought a number of...

Hi TryingItAtHome,

Howdy Ruth,

Hi All,

I hope you're all well. There are any number of ways to build an enclosure, and I thought I'd add my 2 cents (and perhaps no sense) about my experience with my enclosure. I figure the...

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I think PFH requested images depicting some of my redemption tale. I've been a little flat out of late, so I'm sorry for the delayed response.

Hi All,

While it's not precisely what you're getting...the review for the Makita coffee maker (and recommendations relating to the kettle you are talking about) is good for a laugh:

Hi everyone,

I appreciate those who took the time to read my intro, and respond so kindly, thanks WoodPixel, Taz01, JJF, and Cava. Those thinking about making an Archery bow, might want to...

Hi all,

I have not tried the XP. From what I've heard, I think it's like the 350X in that it only does 118 degree tip angles. (One setting). That works for general purpose bits, but if you do any...
