So why do you want waterproof? Is it flood prone?

Even yellow tongue is not waterproof, it only has a wax coating on one side for protection during construction. Any of the engineered products...

It's my dream to one day have a table saw so looks like the leccy planer it it for now.
I clamped 4 boards together on edge and with a bit of packing the heights managed to plane some of the edges...

Oops, my bad. Forgot about those, obviously a poor quality risk assessment on my part.

Harry,
Have you considered a swing? Make it high enough to clear the dog.

If it didn't trip then the current limit wasn't exceeded. Happy days.

When you say composite, are your talking about engineered wood flooring? I don't think any of those products are truly waterproof and I think they use an underlay as well. What is the sub floor made...

Yeah pretty long pieces 3m to 5m lengths, I'll give a try and see how I go. I just knocked them down on the new thicknesser and looks like they will be closer to 3/4" than 1".
Might have to add a...

Looking to lay up my workbench top with 4x1 hardwood on a steel frame in an L shape configuration around the outside of my shed, approximately 4m x 4m.
I don't have a jointer to work with and...

I'm not a fan of LVL, I specified steel bearers (hot dipped gal) with hardwood joists which are bolted not nailed. Veranda is hardwood bearers with hardwood joists and nailing wasn't a problem with a...

You should be able to find it at a demolition/salvage yard, it was a common size back in the day.

Totally agree, we got fleeced on the sub deals. Countries thrive or die on the cost of energy and the only countries that are lowering their energy costs are China and Russia. Mind you China holds...

$10 a tube, good price. $20 to convert a twin batten to LED WITH quality tubes is a very economical way to go.

Those rear legs look a little wobbly.

Damn Pete, that's some serious sunshine in your shed.

I'm thinking of adding LED highbay lights between bays to compliment the fluros.

I think sunlight is about 4500° and LED at 5000° give off a nice white light.
It recommended that a warm light of around 4000 to 4500 is less fatiguing on the eyes which may be the case when you...

I like the Toledo brand, not as good quality as they use to be (like many) but good value for money.

You are absolutely correct, the most prosperous countries in the world are those with the lowest energy costs. Australia had one of the highest standard of living in the world a few decades ago and...

We already have a flexible limit designed into every inverter which will throttle your export as the grid voltage rises and cut off your export at 255v. For most people in suburbs with lots of solar...

Who sells festool in Australia, I don't recall see any of the major tool shops carrying them? I'm interested in their sanders, apparently very good quality.

Are you near the beach, a bucket of salt water should do it.

Pretty much all sheds are 'straight from the manufacturer' and most use the same steel (Lysaght). Best idea is to contact them and ask to see a couple of their recent builds, judge the quality for...

I agree Rod, insulated steel cladding is vastly superior to brick construction and in some areas of Australia (tropics) brick cannot meet the building insulation requirements. Brick sure does look...

My LED's are 40w 5000 lums (1200mm dual tube) and to give you some idea, they output about the same as my fluros. I will be using the same light above my workbenches once they are built. I think you...

You can't use a ballast with LED. Different technology, just disconnect the ballast and the LRD tubes will work fine.

Simple solution is to add a timber spacer between the table top and the legs. Screw & glue the spacer to the table top, then screw the legs to the spacer.

I prefer the sealed weatherproof style so the insects dont get inside and dirty up the diffuser, they were only a few bucks more.

Alternately you can bypass the fluro ballast and fit LED tubes to...
