Thanks John

This will be a new opening in the wall ( between living room and Kitchen area) I only mentioned the 4 x 2 as that is what is used in the construction of the house framing.

As it...

I will leave the stripping to those who would better then myself; but years ago in my mad gun days I used linseed oil on gun stocks. The oil was rubbed in with the hand palm and it left a soft glow...

I need to install a 2.5 to 3.5 mt lentil in an eighty year old house with rough sawn 4 x 2" hard wood timbers. I would appreciate some guidance (links) to the best material and size to use for the...

Forget ebay; forget HN; I would suggest you go to a proper photo/camera shop; like camera house; and get real advice while you get a feel for the camera. Most cameras today are pretty good and I...

Good camera Neil:2tsup:; I have one but sorry to say D200 has been around awhile which explains your discount. The best advice I could give is to it put on P [stands for professional; only joking]...

I agree; but why does it still take Aust.Post two to three days to move a letter 400 Km from Mildura to Adelaide. Last time I looked, this is 2008, not 1908!!

Cheers

What a wonderful story; you are unbelievable; thanks for sharing it.

Congratulation and I wish you many more successful hunts.

Could not give advice on the JS to buy: but I must ask about the thichness if the timber. I tried to use a JS to cut 35mm origon and found the blade would flex to much in that depth. That is the...

:DG'day stef1611,
try this: four pallets, nine milk crates, and your'e done. Or when they arrive say "I hope you don't mind making up your bed" and hand them the sheets and blankets, plus the...

You are all wrong; these hammers are designed for left handers:no:

How wide do you really need? "19mm" is pretty wide!! If you need more you can always join a coulpe, or more images together. A good trick is the take several verticle photos and join them together,...

G'day,
Keep an eye out for a damaged solid core door; they can be very cheap. That's what I use screwed to an old desk I had when I was a kid. The desk didn't get much use way back then for school...

G'day agian
Mine looks like the 265 although the only name on mine is "Tajima" Maybe a copy of something better. Cost under $30. Good for trying the pull idea.

Another yarn: Although pull saws...

G'day mate,
Japanese [pull] saws are pretty good, and have a very thin blade. I bought a couple recently; one is a cheapy from Bunnings and a true Japanese one from a specality store; and like you I...

Thanks TM, that's very helpful. Both blades have cleaned up pretty well. It's amazing how we keep putting off something that in the end only takes a short time to do. Actually my son [16] did most of...

G'day again, RE: Nikon 50mm 1.4 v 1.8: the 1.4 is just a better lens. Nothing to do with 1.4 or 1.8. I also had a 1.8 and yes, it was pretty good and a lot better then the similar Cannon. But the 1.4...

G'day Clinton, been surfing and just found your question, so I thought I would give my thoughts. I have a D100 and D200 with 24-70 as the "main' lens. Also an older 80-200 f2.8 and have recently...

Thanks Ray and TM. I measured the saw after I posted the thread and looks like I should be a fisherman; it's 4 foot and just like TM's. Can you get a closer pic of the handle TM? I have had them for...

G'day, I have a couple of old cross cut saws that need a bit of TLC. They are a bit rusty. Any hints on the best way to remove the rust [it's not deep rust] Or more importantly, what not to do. One...

Now I know where I'm going wrong!!!:D:doh:

Went to an antigues and collectable show [silly me] and come home with an 18 inch stanley plane, a falcon stoke shave, and Sargent bloke plane; all for $130. Did I have a win? Add these to my $5 [yes...

I have got blisters again just reading the above; but there is not one answer to the poll question. On Iron bark we used to chain saw the length of the log and then crow-bar of the bark. The Iron...

You're welcome, I had the same thought that it should be more stable, however it is made in Brazil which is a bit damper then here. As for the project; went back to plan A and that was to build a set...

G'day, watch that pine panel stuff wrapped in plastic. It does warp as soon as it is opened. I bought a some from that big green shed and could not use it, but have to add I was refunded all the...

Tin of baked beans; cheaper the better.
Tin of chopped tomates; Black and gold OK
About the same amount mince [not hamberger] or tin meat
Dry garlic and Italian or mixed herbs.

In wok or fring...

G'day, when your Mother knocks up her 81st b/day, it hard to find something special; so I made something. Compaired to the boxes I have seen you lot make it is very plain, but this is my first "real"...

I have my Grandfathers favourite axe, a plumb; and he wore out only two heads and three handles so Plumbs must be good!!! :doh:

G'day, I'm a total amateur and this is the first time so bare with me. I was doing a bit of back reading and read with interest the thread from Jefferson wanting info about tools to buy. Now I know...
