Greetings all
I am starting very slowly to build my collection of hand planes. I would like some advice on my latest acquisition. I just purchased a Bailey #6 from Cash Convertors for $55. The...

I too have the Makita(non variable speed version) and use it in the router table. Most of its use is for edge shaping and trenching and so on. The larger bits you speak of are predominantly for...

And Adelaide!

Now thats not nice. We don't get much help over here from the AFL. Sure we struggle in the finals, but we stand very nicely on our own two feet.
A level playing field would be nice, but until...

I made a toybox for my daughter a little while ago out of recycled Oregon. If the timber is selected correctly it can look quite spectaculer. I used mortice and tenons for the rail and...

My collection too is slowly growing. My setup sits in my "large" 3m x 3m shed and gets moved under the carport when either I need to make something or my wife needs me to make...

One great way yo prevent this is get a pair of gaiters. They are a tightly elasticised garment which has elastic at the top and none at the bottom. It covers your workboots extending from about 4-5...

Hello Sturdee
Along with most others, if not all, I am most impressed with your mod for the dust bucket. I might be dumb, but I need some help here...While you say 25mm for the pipe, the picture of...

My two cents....

Stinky you said that the table you are making is going to be used as a dining table. I suspect that unless you are going to have wild parties with friends and you do some table...

Don't worry. Got my fingers off their big fat butts and used the search engine and found all that I am looking for. Thanks anyway.

I am going to use some recycled jarrah to make benchtops for my new kitchen. What would be the best finish without getting that plastickity look. I accept that if it does get scratched a little I...

Hello Peter

Your jig looks great!! The part that sits in the table (replacing the slide), do you personally leave it in all the time or do you place the regular slide back when not using this...

Thanks Soundman for your feedback, after which I went to my second step which was to search Google (thank God for Google). If anybody is interested, this url will take you to the EPA guidelines...

Hello All
Like many of you, I spent a great amount of time reading and learning the intricacies and values of good dust extraction. The cyclone setup interests me greatly.

I have a friend who is...

Hello Richard
I have discovered and put up with similar problems with my dust collection for some two years now. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

If you haven't already done so, there is a...

Hello Barnsey

Sorry to hear that you are having such problems. My experience with my router table and stand is one that is quite positive. Admittedly I have only used the new setup three or four...

Hello Doucra
It all comes down to how much you wish to spend! If you can afford it, buy the Triton Router and Saw, but they are at the upper end of the quality, robustness and longevity scale. You...

Hello Goldy

Yes the height winder kit is the way to go. I installed one a while ago. Just recently installed the stabilising brackets and makes a huge difference to the accuracy of the cut. ...

Hello All

Where is the best place in Adelaide (South Australia for those who aren't sure) where I can get a copy of the book? Does Mik Int'l sell them? Any other suggestions? Please, what is...

Hi Ads

In regards to the Triton saw, and whilst I haven't got one yet, (waiting for my Ryobi to die), all the mail is that this is one helluva saw. It is especially designed to fit into the...
