I regularly use Cullity's but have also purchased from M&B in past. Both reliable sources and if you are after the standard timber veneers on a particle or MDF board in a 1200x2400, supply is rarely...

A zero clearance balde insert is also a good idea if you are ripping thin material. It will give a smoother run past the blade.

Also, make sure you are using sharp saw blades. Even a slightly...

A guy I studied with a number of years ago fibreglassed a custom made cooler to fit the back of his ute. Something about B&S balls and paddock parties.

Anyways, make it look good on the outside...

I used the Wattyl 7008 2 pack on mine.

It has stood the punishment of my 2 year old banging on it. You do have to reside to the fact that in a few years you will need to sand it back and re-apply...

Anyone know anyone who knows anyone who may have caught a glimpse of it somewhere????

Anything at all?

Exactly what I did for a long time. Not only for my router table but also for my Ryobi thicknesser.

Bunnings is good for some things but I doubt this is one of thos things.

Get in touch with a local cabinet maker or joiner. Cash or a carton of beer can work wonders.

I had an issue on a table saw not too long ago. I have used it for over 10 years for ripping with no hassles but last year I was pulling out bananas every time.

On closer inspection, the fence was...

If you put a sprinkle of black oxide in to colour it, the colour does not change over time. I use it to fill gum veins in Jarrah, as many other would, and have had pieces for over 10 years with no...

With gaps as big as 10mm, I think fubar has the most permanent solution.

Filling with resin will work, but you may need to do it in a few applications.

I bought the Tecman from Repco a few years back.

I have used it alot with both MIG and MMAW. I had some hassles with it not darkening at one stage. Cleaned the front lense and all was good. Light...

I went the paslode air nailer. Well balanced and parts are supposeldly more easily available if needed.

I'm on the look out for a design and technology teacher for a full time ongoing position in a Perth metro Catholic school. The position is mainly metalwork with some technical graphics, woodwork and...

I am currently building a patio on to the back of my house. My council asked for 3 courses from the bottom I think. Using double sized bricks I set it in after the first course.

OS&H??? What does that stand for?

What about a trade tool store? They sell spare parts for power tools so i would assume they could get a hold of machine screws.

I worked with a guy who, in his younger years, travelled the world with his woodworking skills to pay his way. He had many stories to tell, one of which seems relevant here.

Working in Germany...

Mine goes in the chook pen along with the lawn clipping and food scraps. It doesn't take too long to break down with the chickens scratching it around and mixing it up. Holds a huge amount of water...

I try to avoid Bunnings as much as possible. Yes they will have it but try you local powertool store. I use Toolmart or Power Tools and Machinery Sales. Keep the little guys in action but at the same...

I purchased a Makita Sliding Compound Mitre Saw about 12 years ago. It is still around the $800 - $900 mark.

I have used it for furniture making, construction work etc and it has never...

Are you looking at an air powered or hand powered staple gun?

Using nails in an offcut of timber you can make a bending jig to get the shape of the hooks you will need. I had one sitting in my...

Can anyone else share their experiences?

I am unsure about whethere these prices are too good to be true but then I can be a sceptic at times.

Looked fantastic in the catalogue and web site but in the flesh, I was pretty unimpressed. The tables looked pretty flimsy, the guide looked quite innacurate, the pressed steel table wan't flat etc...

I have the $69 Ozito. I was pretty impressed. It was purchased to strip a bathroom and since then it has also knocked out a wall, chiselled through a concrete lintel, drilled numerous holes in walls...

Is this what you are talking about?

I will give it a go tomorrow.

After 4 years another small area has lifted in my kitchen. Again, metres of benchtop with no hassles but this area is a real problem.

Thanks for the advice.

I have been having a few issues with some kitchen benchtops I have glued Formica Laminates to. After a few months, the laminate has lifted in a small area.

My old man's 30 year old Victa lawn mower has a nifty gadget on the catcher. When the catcher is empty and the clippings and air are flowing freely into it, the pressure pops up a little hinged flap....

I changed blades. I have a 235mm ripping blade that fits the arbour with a spacer. Only gives a 60mm depth of cut at 90 degrees but thats enough for me. I pushed a piece of 45mm thick jarrah though...

I picked up some sheet metal to do just that. I'll have to make it easy to remove so it doesn't interfere with the tilting of the blade though.

I tried a piece of 45mm jarrah through it last...

OK, impulse took over.

I went to Power Tools and Machinery sales to check out the JET JWTS-10. Price was between $1200-$1300. Out of my range.

However...... There was a second hand one that...

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.

I will be buying it through Fiora's if I go down that pathway. No they don't have it in stock which is why I'm on the fence. If I could see it I'm sure the decision would be so much easier.
