I would make fine cuts across the grain with the table saw leaving about 2 to 3 mm thickness. Jarrah will bend very easily and only needs a veneer along the edge. I've done this many times and looks...

I have a high end thicknesser/jointer and use it all the time on rough timber. I have a bandsaw which I use to bring timber to the thickness I require. The most use machine is a thickness sander...

Very nicely done....She will be delighted. Its good to hear how you did the top. Thanks

I loved this box. All the elements that I would like on the boxes I make. I'm pleased that someone asked about the splines. I could not imagine how you did it so thanks for the explanation. I must...

Hi, I bought from "Spotlight" store some stick on baise/felt. I made a thin cardboard piece to fit into the base of my box and then covered the cardboard in stick on baise/felt. fitted perfectly and...

The left rear one is made of WA sheoak, the others are made of jarrah, Tassie oak, beech, miranti and walnut. All from the scrap bin.

I'm in.....I've got a project half made from a magazine article that I picked up at the tip.
Hope to finish it in time.

Just like to express my thanks to jow104 for his threads on tissue boxes. I have been making a few for friends and family and have good reports. Your photo journey of your projects have been most...

I would love to post photos of my drum thickness sander but none of my photos show the completed job. Go to Mathias Wandell's website Woodworking for engineers and there are a number of home built...

I use a lot of new floorboards about 12mm thick and I use a homemade thickness sander to remove the grooves in the back of the boards. Very cheap to build and worth it's weight in gold! I have a...

Steve, Anything on woodwork will be on my must watch list. Hope it all comes together.
Terry

I too am looking for a manual for this model. If anyone can help I would be most grateful.
Terry

Jovian, Do you have a thicknesser? Floor boards about 10 to 15mm thick are available from the people who do this kind of flooring work. They always have lots of offcuts. Generally the boards need to...

Hi Jeff, I would appreciate the web address of your supplier for the resistor and circuit. As you say much cheaper to buy than to make here.
A photo of your pen which I assume is home brew as well...

Hi Claw, How thick are the planks for the top??
Terry

I've been away so I'm a bit late in replying to you Doug but thank you for your comments. I too, am amazed at no one wanting to buy my Triton router table and biscuit joiner. I personally think they...

I'm surprised that my router table and biscuit joiner is still available in the Buy and Sell forum. Am I expecting too much? They served me well for a number of years but now they are on the shelf....

Wonderful work!!!!!!!!!!! I would like to see photos of the work in progress.
Thanks for sharing.
Terry

Take the switch unit to an electrical wholesaler and they can replace it with a similar unit. there are hundreds of these types of switches which will do the job. Talk to your local electrician. He...

Hi Steve. I would very much appreciate a copy of the Durden Pacemaker manual.
E-mail to [email protected]
Thanks, Terry

There will always be jobs that your workshop equipment just won't be able to get around. Some jobs will need to outsourced like a 24x2 inch slab. I do all my jointing on the router now, but then I...

I had the planer attachment for a number of years and it did a good job when set up correctly but suffered from the size of the blade of the planer that was being used. I would strongly suggest you...

My search of Google was just the ticket. I looked a many images of beech wood and it confirms it for me beyond doubt that the piece I have is Beech.
Thanks gentlemen for your help. Now to think...

I'll do that Julian, Never occured to me that Google is my friend!
Terry

Thanks guys, It is a little pink due to the lighting so I guess it has to be beech. Unless of course someone has other ideas.
Terry

This piece of timber has the colour of oak and the flecks in the grain remind one of oak but it has not got the median rays that oak has and it is much lighter in weight.
I'm told it's beech but I...

I look foreward to meeting up with you again this year Tom and to be able to purchase the plans for the Super Jig. See you at the show.
Terry

A very lovely box. I do admire your patience with the inlay, looks very nice too. I must give it a try. I do understand the problems you had with the lid etc. I have never made a box yet which has...

Timbecon most definately have them, saw lots of them today.
Terry

Harry, I should have looked before I posted. Went to the Timbecon site and under Sawing Roller Support Stands they have photos of the "Transfer Balls" in 16mm and 25mm. The 16mm come in a packet...

Harry, Went to Timbecon today and saw the enclosed bearings in two sizes. Worth a phone call as I did not check the price for a packet of them. Too busy buying a bandsaw fence!!
Terry

Harry, Instead of castors why not try out a ball bearing that is captured as in the outfeed/infeed rollers as used by some people when feeding long lengths of timber through machines. Not sure where...

I also use the ski system quite often. I also had occasion to level the top of a box quite recently. I use a pair of jarrah blocks and I have found that my rods are not long enough sometimes. My rods...

I have found that my Triton router table has four clamps on the underside which are ajustable to the diameter of almost, if not all, routers. Once the router is held in position and the clamps...

Don't forget if you are not an electrician, there are rules as to the depth of the trench and the type and size of the conduit which must be installed underground. If fact just make sure you are...

As a tradesman (electrician) I always charge the materials out at the price I pay for them and then charge 2/3rds of the going rate for my trade. If they query the price I always ask them to get a...

Thanks very much for making the video available. I watched the whole thing and was inspired by the guys outlook on life and lifestyle. Love to be able to do that. What an inspiration for his...

My saw is a 14 inch south east asia made saw with the name Bevel on it. The wheels are very slightly crowned. No problem with the 1/8th blade running in the centre. Just tighten the blade a little...

Excellent Toymaker, you said it so much better than I did, Thank you.
Terry vk6pq

Thanks for pointing me to the photos. I've only got the triton and without the tilting blade I find it quite difficult to cut perfect mitres. I have built a jig for the triton and clean up using the...

It is most important to enclose the 1/8th blade totally in a guide blocks made of hardwood or fibre material. Once you have the blade running in the centre of the wheel the blocks can then be fitted...

Glad to hear that you are back on the job mate and that the eye op. went OK. Just one question which may have been answered before but I really would like to know how you cut your mitres. I...

Just make up blade guides from pieces of oak or jarrah, in fact any hardwood will do, and fit them in the guide holders. The blade should be totally enclosed within the wooden blade guides now....

Hurry back John, we all need your WIP. I have certainly learnt a lot from them.
Very Best wishes for a speedy recovery from both ops.

You guessed it.....I left the camera in the car!!!!!!! The phone has a crap camera for any indoor shots so it was not worth taking them with it. Sorry about that.

Terry

Just got back from a wonderful day at the Perth Woodwork Show. Spend quite a bit of hard earned. Just had to, as some prices were unbeleivably cheap.
Got a chance to look at Tom O'Donnell doing his...

Thanks Malb, I was using the 1/4 blade on softwood and the finish was quite coarse requiring a lot of sanding with the result of not so close fitting of drawers and lids. I guess I'll have to bite...

Thanks Malb for your comments. Actually it is a full riser kit that is fitted. That is, the riser block. blade cover on block side and a longer bearing holder rod which makes it possible to have the...

Thanks for the reply guys. Been away on a trip and just got back.
I went and bought a 1/4" 4 tpi blade and it seems to work quite well. A bit of drift but I can still cut reasonable depth with this...

Hi, I've just purchased a second hand 14" "Bevel" bandsaw made in Tiawan!
It came complete with a riser kit and 3 blades. 1 x 3/4" 6 tpi, 1 x 3/4" 3tpi and a 3/8" 6tpi.
My questions are.....
