Hey I'm just wondering over christmas I'm going have about $350-$450 to spend. And i don't really know what to spend it on. Any ideas? I'm really into woodworking.

Hey at the moment I'm making a TV Cabinet for my room. I want to put glass doors on it. 2 glass doors and 2 wooden doors. Whats the best way to make the glass doors?

Hey thanks for all the replies. I'm in Melbourne this weekend and might go round to Bunnings tomorrow. What should i buy for the router table? And i was looking at them switches and i think there...

Thanks for the reply. Will look into it :U Just a bit that i don't get "The simplest is a straight bit of timber bolted through at one end and you adjust depth of cut by swinging it through an arc."...

Yeah I'm starting to think about a router table now. Then if i do. What would i need? I already have a router. And could i still use that switch board?

Thanks by the way would anyone have any plans or anything?

On the saw cant i just take the blade guard off? By the way if the safety switch was connected would i only have to turn it on and the...

...

And how much are the chisels or whatever they are called for the lathe?

Artme i haven't even really...

Hey I'm kind of new to woodturning.

At the moment at school I'm making a mini baseball kind of thing. I have a fair bit of fun. I'm just messing around. I'm nearly finished all i have to do is do...

I got the wood a bit thinner so its the right size. I got a double period of woodwork tomorrow 3rd and 4th so i can continue working on it

I started but i started working on 2 posts first. But since I'm going to use the thicknesser on them all i wont bother continuing until it is done

Yeah sorry thats what i meant by plane lol. Using the thicknesser. And yeah they do.

Hey i just decided to use Pine lol nice and cheap. If it turns out alright ill use a better sort of wood. I got 8 posts of 90x90 700mm length only cost $69. They are way to thick. How much do you...

Haha no its a Friday night no school tomorrow lol

Hey i goto a school in Beaufort. I chose woodwork as an elective and the woodwork teacher said you get to design anything you want just as long as you don't distract anyone and actually work.

And...

Sounds good :)

I decided to scrap the whole idea of the dodgy CD/DVD box thingys. Keep the top the same length except for the width have it 620 have it come of the front 20mm.

Make the legs...

I'm having a crack at Google sketchup.

I will prefer having thicker legs so it will support whatever i put on top easier. I'm pretty sure i have a double woodwork tomorrow so i will start.

How...

Hey looks sweet. Just hope it doesn't look like that lol. It wont be so tall well it will be those measurements but it doesn't look so tall. The legs will be thicker.

But cool lmfao

Well if i can't get Tassie Oak what else should i get?

Oh ok then Tassie Oak it is i might go down by the local hardware store later on and have a look. Might even buy the wood and take it all to school.

Ok thanks for that ill use Tassie Oak. But would i still use that for the legs or should i use something like Oregon?

Re-done my plans. Both pages were done on graph paper for some reason the 1st one the graph paper didn't show up. So i don't know what was going on :) Its looks neater on paper lol.

All...

Lol thanks i will probably use pine. But would it be strong enough to support a big TV etc?

Rhys Cooper i probably will go through to year 12 and i will definitely do woodwork. I'm planning a...

So whats good wood thats better than Treated Pine and doesn't cost a heap. Because whatever wood i get I'm going to have to order it at the local hardware and just run it through the school. They pay...

Yeah when its finished I'm going to varnish it and i just decided ill use timber for the whole thing. If i used MDF i would only of used it for the top of the shelf and both of the sides then i could...

Lmfao yes i used pencil and i just went over it for the teacher And i thought it would of been best to have MDF on the side. But you suggest its not.

After i get some ideas of what sort of wood...

Hey I'm in year 9 and I have to make something for school. We had to plan it and i don't know how well i planned it lol. I recently posted about making a workbench. And i did it all and it turned out...
