Since I'm guessing that woodworkers would be interested in this sale, I'm detailing it here.

I have reconfigured my mitre station, so the Incra jigs fence system and stops I was using aren't...

Hi all,

Probably tempting to just disassemble, but it has lasted 12 or so years, way overloaded, without a hint of failing, so why not see if someone can use it.

Free to a good home, is a home...

Hi folks,

1st post in ages.

As I bid farewell to it, I thought I'd share a photo of my very dodgy, but very reliable timber rack that has served me for about twelve or so years without any...

All good.

I Managed to get through to Anthony today. He's sorting out my refund now.

Happy days.

Wondering if anyone recently has corresponded successfully with Ideal Tools? I've rung and emailed a few times in the past week without success.

I made a purchase of some Walko surface clamps late...

I've always had great dealings with them too. always prompt responses to queries, and super fast delivery from the UK.

At the 8:30 mark of that video. Bingo! :)

Hi all, and thanks for the responses.

Instead of individual replies, I'll address your feedback together.

When I started my setup, I referred to this video from Peter where a novice was using...

Hi all,

I've just started to use a recently purchased UJK parf guide system to make an MFT style top. Unfortunately, I discovered that the holes in the guides are poorly aligned in the lengthwise...

My wife has three horses. Horses are r-e-a-l-l-y expensive when you want to compete in eventing and dressage etc.

So her argument against my toys is quickly countered!

Hi all,

Following are details on the $7410 work bench! (you could say things got a little carried away...) :;

The idea:

thanks for the feedback gents. :)

As Stef suggests, it may well have been a typo. There is a Dulux Clear Satin polyurethane. (Never considered the anagram at all)

I will heed Tex's advice...

Hi all,

I'm scratching my head regarding finishing options for the interior doors that I'm using for my major renovation.

I'll be using Corinthian Arcadia doors throughout the house. They use...

Hi all,

Have started planning a new improved workbench based on the design in the Jan 2004 issue of American Woodworker and have Ash as the material of choice for the laminated bench top.

I've...

Rick_rine,

Yes I did do the correct thing and concrete the letter box in. I do hope it stays there. For such a straight forward job, it took me ages. (probably laziness)

Regarding the join. I'm...

Something that was begging for replacement at my house was the decrepit tin "thing" that used to collect the mail. It was small and buckled and always resulted in waterlogged mail whenever it rained....

This thread is handy to the question I had in mind.

I'm thinking of upgrading from the Triton and it seems from posts, that the TSC-10HB is the saw of choice.

I was going to start a thread...

Hello all,

I bought the DeWalt about 2 years ago and am very happy with the purchase. No regrets at all. The price I notice seems to be a bit more competive at the moment, as I paid $1300 at the...

John,

The parts are in aisle 4 at the Bunnings store in Wollongong. Builders hardware. The brand is Cornall. They live in the same area as the rubber stoppers that go on chair legs etc. The T-nuts...

Hi John,

The knobs are just in the builders hardware area. I think most stores are arranged the same, so it's near the other fasteners etc. I'll go for a walk at lunch and check which isle number...

Hi all,

Something I always keep in mind whenever using the router table, is to always have a little bit more length than actually required when making the pass(es). Better still, do all the...

Hello All,

It only took me about a year after I actually requested the plans from Rocker, to actually pull my finger out and build it, but I'm really happy I finally did.

Last year I built a...

Okay,

Here's the web addresses for the T-track in the American Woodworker article. Price guide is in $US and most are supplied in various lengths from 12" - 96" (300 - 2400mm for the metric...

Hi all,

I know it's not much help for Australian sourcing as the article is for suppliers in the US, but the current issue of American Woodworker, American Woodworker - Issue 107 has a full story...

Thanks for the education Derek.

Like the help that Rocker gave me in regard to router bits awhile back, I'm always learning something new that makes a task a bit easier or will give me a better...

Rocker / Derek,

Sorry to come across as completely dumb, but I've been wondering lately what the actual purpose of scrapers and burnishers is.

In Dereks reply he mentions the smoothing of...

Hi all,

Relating to a post I had awhile ago about spiral bits and the advice that Rocker gave me at the time about Lee Valley having relatively good prices...

I can finally afford to buy a few...

Hi all,

To anyone who might be interested, Jesada tools' Australian site has a 50% off all stock sale at the moment it seems.

I went to the site to browse some router bits,...

Yep, It was a work proxy issue.

Disabled the proxy and she's fine now.

Cheers.

Paul.

Don't know if anyone else has encountered this problem or not.

I've been trying to access the Veritas tools www.leevalley.com website for the last few days and keep getting a time out. It seems...

Hi George,

Other than the discovery I made on the weekend regarding the play in the fence, the extension is pretty quick and easy to set up. I'm happy I made the purchase.

The instructions...

Hi all,

Made a discovery about using the extension table yesterday, and was going to post an informative message, but found this one already, so thought I'd add my two cents worth. (the credit...

Great.

Thanks for the assistance.

Regards.

Paul.

Darren,

Great that I found your post.

I recently took delivery of the unit too and spent an hour on the weekend trying to make sense of the cryptic instructions for assembly. Your feedback...

Thanks for the advice gentlemen.

I did notice that the carbi-tool spiral bits were in the vicinity of $90, but the Lee Valley option sounds good too. I guess if I want to do it , I need to spend...

Like Rocker, I was unsuccessful in attaching a photo recently. I ended up having to create a link to the photo on a hosted page. (option 2)

Hi,

In my attempts in the past to cut mortices with my router, I've used a TCT straight bit. The one I was using was 19mm in diameter, so if I didn't have my work (and myself for that matter)...

Thanks for the feedback.

Having the saw and thicknesser at waist height does seem a smart idea.

Coupla things I'd have had to accommodate though. Both of these heavy items are on separate...

Hi all,

For anyone interested, this is a cheap and nasty cupboard I constructed recently to store the majority of my power tools etc. It's on castors so I can move it around the garage if need be,...

Oops. Got mixed up a bit with my explanation of dimensions huh.

What I meant was... I've got some smaller limbs at around a metre or so, and then the large trunk which is cut into lengths of about...

Hi,

Due to the recent high winds that hit the Illawarra area, I've got one trunk of a Black Wattle that came down in my yard. I've also got a large Camphor Laurel that I want to cut back.
