Thanks Heavensabove for the response - will check that website out...
By the by I received the sampler pack from Lee Valley this morning - bit pricey with postage but good gear nonetheless...:D

Gosh - thanks for the overwhelming response - I can hardly keep up with the replies !:((

Thanks bsrlee for taking the time to respond to my post.
My comments on the postage costs from the USA and Canada were only a general observation...
My real question was "Where, in Australia, can I...

Hi all,
I've recently purchased a sampler pack of the above product from Lee Valley Tools in Canada.
There 18 assorted grit sizes in the pack and they were around $20.
To my horror they cost just...

Thanks for the respose Mike - might give that a miss methinks - I'll stick with the old Meranti and maybe relieve it with some Camphor Laurel - thanks for your interest in replying - much...

I want to do a cutting board (end grain) and was wondering if the odd piece of white cedar would be safe to use - I know cedar can be be quite toxic but that's the question for you experts out...

I'm on a quest for carborundum sharpening stones, commonly known as "toolroom and die finishing stones". I use them for sharpening garden tools, grass shears etc. Absolutely no luck in Australia...

Brilliant site - keep it up !

Hi guys,

Recently purchased a refillable spray paint can from the States - appears well made and solid - instructions on use a little bit hazy - anyone out there have one or know about it - do a...

Lots of good stuff here - just getting into taps and dies - thanks fellas !:2tsup:

Yeah - must admit - this is a good home made mix - works well with 0000 steel wool - can't beat the old remedies !!! :2tsup:

Thanks for all the suggestions - I got some Autosol and it's not bad - still don't think it's as good as the Iosso - but you live with what you have ! :doh:

As a matter of interest, I do belong to the Hornsby RSL but have no association with the rifle club and have never come across Bob McCarthy ...:roll:

Hi bsrlee - if that question is directed at me I'm afraid you've got the wrong McCarthy... :no:

Mt Colah - I'm at Berowra Heights - small world ! - I think you're going overboard to get up into 1200 grit on a rifle stock - I've done a few in my time but probably finished with no more than 400...

Well, I haven't used it on mahogany (can't afford that !) but I have used it on various Australian species and it's not too bad - just be careful of the amount of Linseed you use in the mix - can be...

After a lot of toing and froing I'm back on deck - Neil knows what I mean and I thank him for his patience and understanding - like a lot of us guys at our age technology is fine and it's here to...

I obtained some of this polish some years ago from the States but it can no longer be shipped - anyone out there know where to get hold of some in Australia - I've tried the net but no results ! ...

Matter put to rest - garlic prawns awesome :2tsup:

Sorry - that last message was for DavidG - thanks Dave :2tsup:

Are you into ESP ? - I thought of this very same thing last night and I think that's the way I'll go.....

Thanks for the info malb - I'll get there somehow !

Thanks "Outsider" & "Mickj" for your interest ............

Thanks Mickj - the attached photo (if I did it right !) shows the 2 inlets they look like inlets to me) - I want to hook the gas up to the bottom one and seal the one on the left - does that appear...

I've mounted a wok burner on my BBQ and the unit has two gas inlets, one of which I want to safely seal.
A specialist plumber (Sydney area) tells me it can't be done with 100% guarantee, which I...

Be inventive - attach some handles and use them as draw knives !

You sound like a very brave lady Kekemo - keep up the good work !!

Titebond would be hard to beat - check the product for the application....
Been using it for 15 years and except for one clown (actually best mate who recycled a cutting board 3 times through a...

Why not try Meranti (Pacific Maple) - cheap, easy to work and forgiving on tools - if you select it well, you can get some good contrasting effects - just a suggestion.....

If that's your first box, I don't want to see the third one !
Beautiful work......

Holy Godfather - you've put a lot of work into that website - truly amazing - good on you, absolute credit to you !!

Very nice Ratchett !

My thoughts exactly !

Overall I am reasonably OK with the result and happy to be able to share with others.

Just reasonably OK - I'd be ecstatic with something like that mate - bloody awesome !!:2tsup:

It was never my intention to knock the person that proposed this idea - I think it's great - unfortunately I don't have the wherewithal to do much about it - organising hundreds of shirts with a logo...

Boy o boy - there's been a lot of gormless responses to this thread !!

Is anything really happening to get the project off the ground ?

I despair......:no:

I doubt it - but thanks for the suggestion......:2tsup:

You've got me on that one old son - I thought a "cawl" was A Welsh stew ! Not being smart....
What in hell is a cawl apropos wood ?

I need to glue a small strip about three quarters the way across a door but don't want to use any fixing such as nails or screws just clamping pressure.

Any ideas out there on some sort of jig...

I'd love one so long as it had a pocket - will not buy a polo shirt without a pocket !!!!!

I only go every couple of years because nothing seems to change much - just gets dearer.....

[QUOTE=bsrlee;437587]If you REALLY want it now, just order it from a US supplier and buy a 240>110 transformer brick from Jaycar/Dick Smith/etc.

Yeah - I thought that's what it would come down to...

This is the one I'm after......

Thanks Mini but that's not the one I'm after - been in touch with Justtools (last June !) and they did say they were getting it but no luck yet ! :no:

Thanks jmk89 but no luck - are we that far behind in Australia - this tool has been available in the States for months !! :no:

Would anyone out there be able to steer me to an Australian supplier of this tool ? I can't find anyone that actually has them in the country as yet . A website would be preferable. Help would be...

:) Good site - thanks !

Going to Bunnings tomorrow - will have a look for that - thanks !

Thanks - certainly have a look at that !

I have a dinky little mobile phone but can't buy a reasonable carrycase for it.
I've cut off the carry clip from an old reading glass case which would be ideal to glue to the back of the phone but...
