There is two types of cypress you usually see in Vic. One is the Golden Macrocarpa type milled from farm boundary trees and usually the sleeper type cuts are this timber if labelled Cypress. Its a...

The bench you made with the gap under the top is the tool for pressing a top like this. I was talking about that when you built it. With the right bridge clamp made up you can press stuff as wide as...

Between 25 and 30 hours spread out over the last couple of weeks doing the woodworking.

That's cool. They did too. I'm sure Ive seen that before but I'm not trying to remember all the stuff Ive seen any more.
That's my excuse anyway. :).

Ive got one of those chamfer planes in a...

Yep, it wouldn't be fixed if it was made on MDF.
I was thinking while fixing it that making it from new would have been faster. Working out how to fit in new parts with the old and add the stringing...

Thanks. A couple of kegs worth. :)

Nice fix with the backlash with brazing Martin. Ive played with re peening a worn wheel slot back towards where it first worked from and it made a difference. It was a slightly lumpy feel though. I...

Nice Video Sam.

That little table would be a nice one to do a modern re make of in local or imported woods of ones own choice and your own idea of the top construction.
My guess is that original...

The AdjuStar looks like a great idea. Anyone have an opinion on it ?
There are a lot of good reviews to read and Ive also watched the YT videos. It’s worth an ask here though. I’m not sure how much...

40s or 1950s I think Sam. The owner is about 35 . And her grand father made it. The top is veneered Plywood

It was a hard choice what to use to replace those sections Michael. Ive had Sapele pieces and veneers before and it didn't remind me of those. I actually think the solid Mahogany base to this table...

FFS! I know how I want to post a thread and I don't need your dumb suggestions.

.6 of a mm mostly. Some were a little thicker like .8mm.

I never took a picture before the top came off Sam and this is all I have. The top with its base. It'll be back together in a week though so Ill take a pic then.

Hi Sam . If you dont seal the can 100% it goes off. It can be a total loss of 4LT. And the more air that gets in the can as you use it and the level drops sets a skin on top. Ive never seen a full...

Nigel.
I just checked as I’m finally in the location of the catalog.
Sorry . It’s a 1924 catalog :roll:.

Rob .

edit
A bit of a thread on the catalog here.

I could see you first cut and paste pics.
The catalog is NOT 1928.

My Mistake.

What do you mean Matt ? Can’t you view it ? Doesn’t Instagram run ?
When I look at the link on my phone it runs. But I’m an Instagram member. Maybe that’s why ?

Maybe the test tag on the one for sale is on the other side like your machine Nigel . That’d be good if it’s there to be seen.Theres not many ME machines to be seen.
Did the seller reply about it ?...

:o

The tag if it’s still on the machine may be under that switch box.
If it has no back on it. Otherwise they took it off to fit the box maybe.

It looks to be an old ME

How’s the throat chopper!

Hi Sam . Are you putting a shine on your latest project? Ive been wondering what your next post on that will be.
I cant answer in regards to Hardwax oil . The only thing Ive used that may be close...

This looks like one of those thumb-hole rip saws Ian doesn't it ?
Possibly a couple of Queensland blokes ripping of a bit of figured Maple or Red Cedar for a job?

That Looks great MA! Good job.
What did you do with the bridge pins? Just part of the way in? And screw or glue? I suppose with the right size holes in the bridge they would knock in and never...

I just saw this on FB market place .
$250 and price not important . New home is .
I can see a possible $300 infill in there.
I could put a link but I think you would have to be a member of that...

I never though to ask the OP guy.
So I just went back to find it.

No need to ask. He has edited his post. :).
He was getting a few questions about what he meant by square blade.

Ahh thanks .
The cutters in these are something like 30 to 45 degrees positive rake. I’ll have to try grinding. I do have a diamond wheel but it’s very fine . May need something better?

How would you scrape Mild steel though David? I brazed an old Thicknesser tungsten cutter on each end of a steel bar and had a go honing it on a diamond plate before trying it on MS and it just digs...

I hadn't seen this info before about Stanley plane washers.

Any idea what is meant by reject Square blades?

Nice looking veneer coming off that.

That looks Great MA.
Ive been wondering the same as Ian I think. Are the sides staying like they are atm or is there a shape change coming which is a secret? :).

Rob

.
My one looks all original . No later additions that I know of. The T board with the screwed corner blocks look to be the way it was made.

That was usually done with hide glue as when you...

Nice score Martin.
It looks like the screwed on pieces are sacrificial parts that bring the planing surfaces up to the right level to work . Screwing them on is no good unless the heads are sunken...

All purpose thinners is just a general thinner. Not like turps or Metho. Its thin and oily like turps but different and what a lot of paints and finishes are...

I think the Wattyl is a thinner based stain. It thins with metho or turps but all purpose thinner seems best . And it smells like thinner.
Metho just wipes it off once its dry on the wood as you...
