Thank you Neil,
I think we can pretty much understand what might be happing now. I’ll file this info away until next I upload.
thank you also to all those we replied to this humble request. ...

This last one is a landscape of the same TV but modded into a portrait shape.

And finally a portrait pic modded into a landscape shape.

This looks now likeevery pic needs to...

Hi Rob, thank you for replying.
yes I’m using an iPhone 12 and I’ll put up two photos I took just now. The first is a portrait shot of a flat screen TV. No changes/edits to photo.

Thank you for responding to my query.
My understanding is that phone photos are generally taken in portrait mode. That is with the phone held upright (narrow view), whilst turning it on its side...

Life got busy there for a while but during the breaks I managed to fit in the router top installed into my table saw wing.
First up the RT arrived in good condition, well packaged and timely. ...

The top is on its way … should arrive early this week. I spoke to Graeme, Professional Woodworker Supplies owner on Friday. He seems to be a nice, genuine fella and very worthy of our business. ...

Thanks Barra, I’d never heard of them until your link. Nice they are so close too.
When the top arrives I’ll fit it and post a follow up for any of our members considering doing something similar. ...

Thanks for the response Samo. Yes thanks I did check out the two you gave links for… Carbatec and Sherwood are both the same in that they are both built for a router table, not extension wing. Also...

Hi Barramonday, thank you so much for your reply and link. Suffice to say this is the perfect answer to my current router top problem.
I searched til my fingers bled and could not find the...

Thank you for your response. Armed with you pointers I’ll start looking for a viable product bearing all you have written in mind.
Cheers

Must be a familiar story, bought new Carbatec Router Lift and Router, made top from 18mm ply, built dust catcher under it and hooked it all up.
All well and good. A month or two later I noticed all...

Thank you for responding. In answer I would reply:
1/ Water resistance would be important, more to seal up the grain rather than outside or wet areas.
2/ Clear finish yes. I don’t go much on...

Not exactly Auto on, but using Bluetooth devices next to both Saw table and Router to switch the shop vac on works pretty well. My Ryobi shop vac will do an auto switch on but it is low amps only and...

Thank you for your thoughtful and considered response.
First up CarpenTAK never promotes anything through his channel. Even the little gadgets he uses in some projects don’t get a mention. He has...

I take most of my pictures in portrait format, yet when I post them here they appear rotated.
One possibility is that the cropping I do upsets the parameters for displaying images, but I’m just...

The castors were one of the tweeks I mentioned earlier. The Orange coloured ones were French made and bought from Carbatec. Not recommended at all. They have an asymmetrical
design that may work for...

Same problem different approach.
This time I was looking to permanently mount a few machines that I use all the time, in a way that gets the most versatility out of them.

A DeWalt Compound...

No video but came across this pic which answers your question I think. 😁

Thanks guys, as a noob to the forum I was wondering if I’d created a faux pas without realising it.
There is a local distributor of Osmo (apparently) in Hobart that I will check out soon.
Cheers

Thanks John. Yes that was one of the parameters I wanted to meet in designing it.
I cover the unit when not in use with a fitted sacrificial piece of Masonite that brings it up to the correct...

….. was it something I said?? 🤔

One of my favourite YouTubers uses the above to finish for his projects.
They look amazing so I tried to buy some online with little or no success. As I’m a noob when it comes to finishes I want to...

OSB is the cheapest and easiest to work material around. Doesn’t have a lot of strength in itself but fine for most attachments. The French cleats were a good example of that. Ply would have been...

Ha! Yes definitely pleased with that aspect. The material in the walls is 12mm OSB. Behind that is lots of insulation. Here is a pic of the materials at time of construction.

After many years of ‘making do’ with temporary workshop arrangements, in 2021 I finally built my first permanent workshop.
This thread is not about the workshop layout etc, rather about an early...

Thanks Crowie, have a bit on atm but will post a few pics soon.
Cheers

Lots of good workshop weather in the Deep South. Keen to learn how others are doing in the North and beyond.
