Likewise, I had a Linhof Kardan monorail, Mamiya RZ and Canon 35mm. My wife made me sell the linhof to buy a drysuit when I got into scuba diving. I always kinda regretted selling it, but I know...

The 1400 rail easily allows cutting of a 1200 board if you're cutting square of course. I do it all the time. I also have 2x1400 and join them for longer cuts. I couldn't store anything much...

I'm sure I saw 8 cordless drills lined up. Why would you need 8 drills the same?

Maybe he runs classes as a side business out of the workshop?

I'm not a guru, but I'll give it a go..

gig-e is supposed to run on cat6, but I've run it successfully on cat5e since the connector and wiring is physically the same. There's probably a...

Hm, I had almost the opposite experience with Bunnings.. I went there one evening with a printout and they said they don't accept printouts and I will have to return during business hours so they can...

It sounds like a hardware problem rather than a software problem on the PC side if the PC is not even recognising the DVD. Unfortunately, the only way to fix this problem is to try a different brand...

I guess when you're working mostly with pine, cordless is good enough...

Considering it retails for $1,800 or $3,100 for the kit, I doubt you will get anyone to beat $720.

The cheapest way would be to do what I did - simply buy a cheap ARC and try to stick bits of metal together. Although depending on your budget, I'd probably now look for a second hand TIG (AC if you...

Woodwould, Thanks for the story and photos! You are obviously a top notch woodworker...

If you don't want to drive all the way to NSW, I'm 98% sure Hare & Forbes have them and they are near you & open saturday mornings: http://www.hareandforbes.com.au

I have the Hitachi 12v impact driver & the 18v drill. I find that I use the impact driver waaaay more than the drill. The only time the drill comes out is when I need a hole..

I purchased an LPG regulator a few years ago for exactly the same reason. Cost around $130 from memory.

You could try a motorbike frame like American Chopper...

I don't have any first hand knowledge, but going from what's on the ebay page, the TIG is:
- DC Only (no ally welding in TIG mode)
- Scratch start (no HF)
- No leads/cables/etc. included (for TIG)...

I bought my Hitachi for (I think) $1,100 when they first came out and up until 5 minutes ago I was very happy with it. I want $200+ off & a free router too!

I'm not really an electrical whiz or anything... BUT

Could you order a tool from the US, then order the transformer/whatever gizmo you need as a spare part from Festool AUS, then put the...

I saw the 2200w GMC "Platinum" router for $99 today - normal price $198. There was a display model, but none in the box otherwise I probably would have bought one..

Just an update to this thread.. I bought a Planex today, so far I'm very happy with it. I did some plaster sanding this afternoon and you're spot on with saying it's aggressive - you only have to...

I don't think there's any solution for your problem really.. sorry to say!

But I'll give you a hand by taking the lathe & mill off your hands and into 'storage' if you'd like.. Of course I'll...

It looks kinda like a Kapex with a TV screen...

I'm doing one room at a time and I'm not that organised, so hiring would be an expensive option. I've been burnt before throwing away money on crap before buying 'the good stuff', so I figure I might...

I had a cheap battery powered one (still have it somewhere). It used to flicker all the time when TIG welding. I have a mate who went through 2 cheap helmet with the same problem. If you look on...

Has anyone used the new Planex yet?

Is it worth the money? I'm not a plasterer by trade, but I'm doing a lot of it on a home reno and I'm already sick of sanding by hand and cleaning up the dust...

I'm assuming it's going to be difficult to sand an internal corner with a curved surface... I was hoping there was some magic trick that you could use.. like throw some top coat in there and use some...

Does anyone have any hints after you have stuffed all your mitre joins and have to "fix" your internal corners after installing cornice? I've (unfortunately) ended up with some pretty embarrasing...

I don't know much about wood lathes but when I lived in the UK, I bought my tools from machine mart rather than B&Q.. http://www.machinemart.co.uk is the website.

Hey Pete,

As well as the normal 10mm, you can buy 13mm and 16mm (CSR has 13mm in stock, never bought 16mm so it could be a special order, they are both special order from bunnings). However, I...

"small" is relative because unfortunately the heavier the machine, the better. The X3 (http://www.hareandforbes.com.au/sample_2/home.php - page 21) seems to be well regarded for the size and money...

I've done that in the past and they have simply said "nah mate, that's a trade price and we don't match trade prices".

I also use Viponds paint in Coburg who are another Australian paint...

I wouldn't sell the Hitachi as you will always need an 18v cordless drill. Also, all the 18v batteries are interchangable with the Hitachi so buy another tool & away you go.

That said, the impact...

I know my Hitachi can tilt 45 deg both left and right and the fence on both sides swivels out of the way.

I've thought about it ... a lot! But can't find anyone who actually does it in Australia and I don't know how effective it would be - I suspect it's pretty easy to miss a spot & leave a void.

Along similar lines, I own a house that has no insulation. We like the idea of sound proofing as a side effect of insulation, but our main aim is to reduce our heating/cooling bill. I have started on...

How do the council know where 1 renovation starts and the other finishes? If I take 2 years to renovate a 5 bed 4 bath house (inc kitchen), but I'm doing it 1 room at a time did I just do 10 small...

I own a 12v Hitachi impact driver and an 18v Hitachi cordless drill. I bought the impact driver first for around $450 (I think) which included a set with all the driver bits. For a few months, I...

Not that I'm an expert, but did you use an adhesive that's suitable for fixing to timber flooring?

My memory may be playing tricks on me but I'm fairly sure the bunnings price for a 2400x1200 10mm sheet is $10.50

That's a LOT of p0rn Stu...

In VIC, you can pass stationary traffic on a motorcycle providing you're in the same lane and passing on the right. If you passed on the left and she hit you while you were passing, then I'd say...

Can anyone tell me the difference (if any) between an automotive HVLP spray gun and a home HVLP spraying system? Why is one a few hundred and the other $2.5k+? Are you paying extra in the 'home'...

Hi All, I'm just starting a major renovation of my house - 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms + 2 "powder rooms" - all the doors, arcs & skirts, etc will be replaced with new throughout the entire house. At...

Hi Shane,

They are just standard double power points on a 15A (or could be 20A) circuit breaker.

Are you sure it's mandatory? When the sparky installed a new circuit and power points into the garage, he specifically said he wouldn't put it through the RCD since starting up multiple high current...
