An oldie, but a goodie, Ryobi 216mm SCM saw for sale.

Everything works, slide and tilt all smooth. New blade.

Light enough to take to the job, accurate enough to do cabinet work, built before...

TSC 10-HB for sale. If Santa didn't bring you one for Christmas, this bargain may make you think he was just a bit late.

The Carbatec workhorse for when you get serious about woodwork, 3HP, cast...

Ern, I've thought about it for 24 hours and decided it's a much less sad tale than the one about having to replace all the electronics in the Stubby, or even the whole shed if the big storm surge had...

Nah, if I' ve been drooling over that bump for five years, how many other woodies are there in an institution of over 1000 employees who were ready with their utes for the moment it came down. I just...

Sorry if this comes across as a bit of a rant, but only another woodie would understand what I am feeling right now.........ok, that was a bit of a blow we had. I had the biggest poltofren (sp?) tree...

This probably won't concern the real timber millers on this forum - but for those of us who want to put the saw away safely in the shed between wood collecting forays and are in the market for a new...

Definitely a terpsichore of teapots. Now if you can just image the gallery closing for the night, and as the security guard locks the door and turns out the lights, all the teapots begin to...

Ern, you are an encouragement to us all. As the median age of this forum grows, more and more of us are confronted with our mortal shortcomings, and it is a salutary lesson to us all who grumble at...

Well ranted .RC - it's not just the chippies either. Have you tried to recycle timber from a pallet or a machinery crate lately? With a machine driving the nails for them, the assemblers of these...

So what do you call a fork with two hearts? No idea Ern, but I will put my hand up to a windup about Japanese suspension. My last two bikes were a Guzzi and a Duke, but they were built in the 70's so...

But yeah, I can feel it when the oil's past it in the front forks. The action becomes harsh and/or erratic.[/QUOTE]

(showing large amounts of personal bias here) That's because you ride a Honda...

....or perhaps "So that's why they call it the Putty Road!"

Ern, I think you should aim for something a little more assertive :D <hr>

Congrats on the progress Ern. No doubt the physio will find some new way to make exercise painful for a while yet, but your goal of regained function will make it bearable. Something which has just...

Geez Ern, you would ha thort that the Flash Gordon splint came with a built in bottle opener :D. Good to hear you are up for the challenge of the facial follicles, soon you won't have to back up to...

Now you have really piqued my curiosity Ern. How did the other bike tangle with you and not come down as well? Did he stop when it happened or keep going until he got to Omeo? I'm sure you have more...

Thanks very much for the pointers. I read the FAQ and then the QAF, as well as the googly stuff, but none of it could tell me watt Filler meant. In fact, there wasn't much info about Filler at all,...

With apologies in advance to all of those who have posted so knowledgeably here already. I have been following this thread with interest and I am very impressed with the generosity of spirit with...

Commiserations on the crash Ern, sorry to hear you have no recollection to help you work out what to avoid next time (cars maybe?). From the sound of the damage to the bike you may be very lucky you...

....and from all the lurkers like me who read and absorb the good bits from this forum in the knowledge that the post would not be improved by my contribution (yet), keep up the good work - it's a...

Yep, when the rain comes down, it soon goes sideways. If the tide is going in the opposite direction and you live near the sea, you get to pull down every machine you own and rustproof them. (after...

Menja, I bought the plans to a very shipshape baby tender when my first baby was born (21 years ago!) and when I googled the designer just now his range of boat-shaped cradles has expanded...

Lyle, this product was reviewed in issue 145 of Australian Woodworker. (that's the one before the issue that is currently on the stands). The review was extremely positive, which has led to a big...

Rob, I moved my gear from underneath the house (old queenslander) to a 6m x 7.5m shed, and yes, there is never enough space, but if I had that choice again, I would have built longer and narrower to...

Damian, I'd be happy to sell the defective router wing for the table saw, but you may not want it when you factor in that (a) the reason it was defective was that the slots for fixing the router to...

Geez Jill, you made me go and check my slots in the TSC 10HB. The slots in my saw are 19.4, both the same, the bar in the mitre gauge is 19.39, so by my reckoning, not enough to get concerned about....

OK, with apologies to Ern and all those who wanted to know what he did with his big black beast, it's been at my place for a week, and I've finally managed to make the planets align sufficiently to...

Sunday session now happens at the Life Savers Club on the strand, and they have the best jazz as well.:cool2:

Hey Spanner, I'm in the bit of Townsville that floods. I had four inches of brackish water through my shed on the king tides two weeks ago, and I reckon it will be even higher this weekend. Never...

1. My low angle block plane. I first fell in love with the Stanley 60 1/2, which lives in my apron pocket, but I recently received a Veritas plane and it's the tool of choice for all that edge...

I will confess, I love to stand and look through a clean shed. I had no idea how useful it was until my dad and I built a boat together. He's 88 years old now, and he insists that one of the most...

Mik, I don't think remembering people like this lacks relevance at all. As a middle aged fart I now have a distinct hankering to know about the people who designed all those boats I tore across the...

Swiftden, the last time I made m&t rails (for a deck) I started off carefully setting a jig around the post and cutting the bulk of the slot with a router. After the first few posts I was cutting...

Ah the mighty Shopmate! Still remember my dad bringing his home in 1963 and the two of us unpacking it with great excitment. It came with attachments for an orbital sander,jigsaw, the table saw...

Pusser, I've fitted one of the Carbatec router tables to my tsc 10hb also, and it interferes with the saw regardless of where I put it. I fitted it to the right and it limits the extent to which you...

Just a question on improving dust control. I've got a Carbatec 1.5 dusty with a needle felt bag (CT-001V) and I'm looking for a way to fit a pleated filter. I had a casual conversation the last time...
