im not too sure but i would have thought you could buy it in strip form.

Zackly!

Hi Groggy...thanks for that.

Im sorry.

Its just that I recently sold stuff on ebay and had a few pm's from this forum asking why I didnt alert forum members and to anounce here when I sold...

Hi all...
Thanks for your interest.
Hardenfast...thats exactly what it does. Ive used it on freshly cut timber to make a number of blanks...3 i think it was. So you basically turn a rough outside...

Hi all...

just listed this on ebay, hope you dont mind me spruking on this forum..
...

Ah yeah...Durobond. Ive heard of them. Will check them out.

Thanks for your help chaps!

Hi all....

Anyone know of sources of nitrocellulose lacquer in Sydney?
What brand names might be nitro etc. Also if you can get it in small amounts ie. aerosol cans?

Regards

Phil

Did you ever "blow the bladdy doors off?" :-)

Dont forget Trend Timbers. They do both Jet and Technatool.

( i have no affiliation etc..)

Bodgy....

Just out of interest, why didnt you get one from Hare and Forbes?

C'mon guys......keep it clean!

Ive got one and I think its great too. Before that I had the Ryobi thicknesser which lasted about 20 metres!

Ill second that. Ive been a LN boy for years now and now theres really no reason to buy from US. The prices are now comparable considering the dollar, postage and taxes, and the service is just as...

Has anyone else noticed that used LN tools sell on ebay for about $30-$40 less than their new price?

Bear in mind, you dont HAVE to buy from Bunnings :-)

Also think about the fact that in my experience the more it costs now, almost without exception, the less it costs long term. I know thats not...

Ive got the makita and its been good for me. Easy to align when needed, very robust. If it got nicked Id buy the same in a flash. Hitachi tools are very good. Dewalt are overrated I believe.

Id definitely get a Jet before a Carbatec or H&F. Er....except I didnt! I got the 3501 but with hindsight, having bought a few Jet tools I would go Jet.

Yeah Ive got quite a few LN planes and the non LN's Ive bought new LN blades and LN cap irons for. My dads old No. 7 plays like new plane now!

I paid $35 for a mint one on ebay a couple of years ago. Ive since fitted a Lie Nielsen blade on it and it works like a dream. Given the choice of using it or setting up a router, Id go with the 78....

Something else.

I started with a Triton about 2 years ago. They are fine for very occaisional use or if you are short of space and can be bothered to keep unfolding it but to be quite honest,...

Dont forget to run it over a jointer first to get a datum face!....and to sharpen the jointer knives too.

:-)

Well bugger me!
It took me ages but I figured it out. They work on a cam. Quite clever really.
Thanks for the help. I can now cut incredibly accurately again!

Hi all...

I replaced the cheap block guides in my 3501 with roller guides ( i originally wanted to replace the blocks but was a bit flush and allowed the guy to talk me into it!). Anyway, I dont...

For what its worth, I used to use 800, 1200 then 6000 waterstones but found it a bit of a pain with the water, the tupperware boxes, the flattening with a sheet of glass and wet and dry etc....

I went to Bunnings the other day and was eventually served by a guy who wasn't picking his nose.

Now thats service!

Went out yesterday and bought a new diamond dresser and although the wheel still doesnt run "true" ( as you can see if you spin it manually) it does seem to have stopped the "bounce". I now have some...

Oh yeah....

Its an 8" wheel.

Wow!
This one went off....

Thanks for all your replies. I did neglect to mention a few details didnt I?
I am using the correct white and pink wheels at about 60 grit, with a uni-jig, not a solid...

Hi Dan...

Nah... I dress it whenever I use it and it still goes off. Sorry I should have mentioned that in the original post. I think its something altogether more sinister!

Hi all....

Have been turning for a couple of years nearly and have never been happy with my tool sharpening. My wheels seem to run "out of true" when not very old and am wondering whether its the...

The LN's are lovely to use too. Ive got a set of two cherries which took absolutely ages to flatten and the profile is horrible. I tried the LN's and that was it for me. 10 rubs on waterstones and...

They're great arent they?

Im averaging about 3-4 days delivery on their stuff. Very nice people to deal with too. And I really enjoyed "The Naked Gun"!

Hi Bill....
Firstly I would (and have) use WRC as it is very stable and not as susceptible to movement. It is also very light which makes a difference when choosing your guide system.
This is...

yeah but the narrow roller is better for honing a camber on plane blades. Just press down hard on one side, then the other.

Trend Timbers in Windsor have started to sell Jet lathes. Very good people to deal with.

Best of Luck.

Be "VERY" careful!!!

Run a metal detector over it.

Best of luck

I knew a guy who was mad on fishing called Chris Biggins. When his wife had a little girl they called her Courtenay.

True!

I have a Ryobi Thicknesser. "Touch" and "Bargepole" are two words that spring to mind. The feed roller mechanism has broken on mine evertime I used it (3 times!) and their service is lousy. At least...

I have recently bought a jet 6" jointer which is wonderful. People often look at catalogues and websites and assume thay are the same as carbatec and hafco. If you actually try one out you realise...

Ive got one in better nick. It doesnt have "A5" on the cap tho. What is the difference does anyone know?

Sorry.. I mean MORTISE the bottoms of the side jambs into the bottom sill

Hi all.

Im just building some french doors and whilst I am ok with the actual doors was wondering if anyone has any knowledge about the frame. I have rebated my jambs and understand that the side...

Thanks for the advice fellas. I dont feel so bad about buying $700 worth of cedar when my wife got a quote for the whole job for $4000!!

Kindest Regards

I bought a gmc scroll saw on a "credit card impulse" about a year ago for $50 and I still havent turned it on yet!

Hi all...
Just wondering why everybody uses cedar for external doors. Am just about to make some French doors going out onto a courtyard. If Im going to paint them will I be better off using maple?...

Acapella.. This is a fair point you have raised. All Im saying to people is think about where your money goes everytime you buy something. Dont buy on price alone. I often go to a local tool suplly...

Chook...you jammy bastard!

Im with Sir Stinkalot on this. These short term "marketing plans" are probably "factored in" as part of their "long term strategy". Yeuuuch!
Build a relationship with a local supplier. They may not...

Er.....

Holtey Planes werent around in the 19th Century. Id be surprised if they were older than Lie Nielsen.
