Good afternoon all
I am posting on behalf of a friend. His son was tightening a part on his bandsaw and it snapped unfortunately.
There is details on the attached PDF to help.
Bandsaw apparently...

Hi all

Thank you for your replies - we have had a couple of others in the trade think that it was Turpentine also so I think we have a winner :D

So good to have a great resource such as this to...

Hi there guys

It has been ages. So much has changed!!

My manager is in the process of cutting a fallen tree and bought in a chunk of it. I have no idea what it is and am hoping some of you...

Thanks again for the replies - and to Bob for the generous offer of time and personal help.

I turned the speed down on the triton from max to about 60% and it has definately helped a lot.
...

Thanks for the speedy reply - yes just when you think you have a handle on power tools they really let you know who's boss! This is why I don't do electricity :no:

I remember turning the srews up...

Now I've said it's the jig doing the eating - which it is - but I am certain this is due to user error in some way and if you guys don't mind I'd love some help.

The problem arises when I am...

Thankyou so much Peter for the info - all sides not just 2, I am sooo glad I asked!!!!
Timberbits thanks for the advise - I was lucky enough to buy the medium and large templates (back when my...

Afternoon all

I need to make 2 simple boxes, but I need the internal...

This will help me in the task at hand - I am actually working on it from home today so I am glad of the quick response!!
The lettering is painted on which is why...

Good afternoon all

I have been asked to give a quick sand and refinish to 2 cabinets from my work.
Unfortunately I do not have much time so cannot do the job as well as I (and my boss) would...

My dad and I braved the schoolies and had fun as we do each year. This year was the first year in about 5 that we didn't have a plan - just wandered reasonably aimlessly looking at a lot of nice...

A mate from work got home the other day and found this nice piece sitting opposite his house waiting for council pickup. He kindly thought of me and between he and his wife - and about 6 rest stops...

Good luck Brendan,

Hopefully we will bump into one another like Sat evening again - especially whilst you are off the air. Hope the new job is good to you and the fam.

Hi Soth,

Just a thought on the RWC - as a buyer, I would be less inclined to buy without one as you are buying what you think is a good vehicle, only to find you need $$$ spent before they give...

might be a bit late,i hope not. I couldn't find anything on box leaf, but if it is the same as or similar to broad leaf, then I know in the blue mountains, and I am sure a lot of other places, privet...

There is good and bad everywahere. I want to trust and for the most part I do, I guess the media has the most control over what we hear about them, and like everything we are fed, sensationalism and...

I'm sorry to hear about this guys...... and I'm sorry it has taken this to prompt me to let you know that I have always loved the pieces you have created. I am writing it now in case you decide to...

They are both beautiful pieces, as others have said, they are a nice variation on the lidded box we are used to seeing and making. WOW!!

very cool little site you have there, and nice coffee table too.

G'day Groogy,

That seems like a very good solution you guys nutted out. I am glad you weren't as harsh as some have said, but definately not as softand disgraceful as the you tube daughter with...

Hey there Zenwood - this is a truely inspiring unit.

Sure helps to inspire me to build something a bit more fancy than the run of the mill types. Thanks for the datail too.

G'day wood lover,

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy all that it has to offer.

I don't have any plans, but zenwood is currently building a cd cabinet (more like the taj mahal of cd storage...

Hi Journeyman Mick,

I am glad that you are willing to stand up for this belief. A lot of us (myself definately included) can resign ourselves to the old adage that they will just get away with it...

Thanks all for the kind words - it has been used as much as possible since chrissy, the weather has not really been our friend as far as jumping is concerned, but we would MUCH prefer the rain right...

Pic 13 - Planting now done and I have nearly finished moving the 3 cubic metres of mulch and 1 cubic of soil from front to back - after this day (chrissy eve) my back is none too happy with me. 3 of...

Pic 9 - After 4 hours of digging up grass, the sight is now ready for airating (crowbars at 10 paces), I dug in the border as well using bricks from our old open fireplace.

Pic 10 - To put the...

Pic 5 - It was decided that we would hang the cubby half over our retainer wall, thus being next to the sand pit (which I will now build a lean to off the cubby to protect it from the elements). It...

Good evening all and a happy new year to you.

I thought I'd start the new year off by posting the conclusion to my cubby house saga that I spoke of a couple of months ago - I have finally...

That is a great use of space, having things mobile is essential isn't it so that when needed they can be moved into the centre of the room for bigger projects.

Well done.

Merry chrissy all - late one for us, trampoline building and all for the little one. Very cool to watch her go psycho when she went to find her mummy and mummy was bouncing on it :D

Gotta go...

How easy would it be to lose a couple of hours just playing around with it!

I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago and have had to do some serious resisting not to play with it until after all the...

the cabinet looks fantastic - I especially like the Jarrah in the doors backed by the mesh, I love the fact that the wine is protected but you are still able to see the stash.

I have already got...

Bunnings will carry this sort of stuff - you will need to take a little time to go through the stack though to get the straight ones.

Not sure where in Sydney you are, but when I did the ceiling...

Hi Old picker,

I may have confused you a little - I was referring to the reducer part of the collet (reducing collet) the bit that takes it from 1/2 to 1/4"

:D :D :D :D

All the non thought of possibilites - WD your talents are being wasted in the west, come to Sydney, you'd make a fortune!!

You know plonking the sucker on the roof - not a bad...

I need to make an addition here also - I have not been using the Triton reducing collet. The collet I was originally using I have had for years, and the new one is a bunnies one (all be it not their...

Old picker,

I had a similar problem back in August and posted a similar question.

I solved my problem the same way Dale did - tightened the hell out of it, but upon reading your thread, I am...

My Dad has been a full time landscape arstist - in oil painting - for nearly 30 years. About ten years ago he started having a few problems health wise (not mental, but generally feeling unwell)....

Thanks for that Rob,

Its good to know that some plants can survive. Have you noticed a difference in temperature though?? I have always wondered how temps go in the yard as it is metal and also...

Well it is in the backyard now.

I ended up having to cut it up to get it there, I did the measurements of turing it on its side and taking it around the side but it still didn't fit - I tell you...

Some good work there Benny - we always knock the old crapiata ( see I'm doing it again...) but really it can come up OK and it is reasonably cheap and easy to work with.

Well done.

G'day all,

We are about to go down the path of a new back fence - us wanting timber, them wanting colourbond (and probably winning as they have panel already from a workplace demolition)

We...

I thought about the crane thing for about a minute, then shunned it for the cost - and the fact that in 10 years when we sell the thing, I would have the same problem. At least this way I get to...

Just thought I'd share one of those moments of embarressment to make others feel better about themselves.

Been looking into the whole cubby house thing - build or buy etc. I wanted to build,...

G'day Brendan,

I dunno, that 2.2kms from my front door to yours might mean I can't make it - it just seems so far away :D

I hope today goes OK with the rain, and I am hoping to pop my head...

Hey there beginner,

Very cool. What sort of dimensions are we talking here?

If you have time I'd love to see a picture of the box with the lid closed.

Hey there Gra,

Sorry to here of your news. It is and will be hard for a while. Just seeing the thread again reminded me just how hard!

A good news story for you in this not so bright time....

My house is smaller than that!!!

Well done Fozzy this will be my motivation for starting my 4 yo daughters cubby, but I tell you I will not be showing SWMBO this thread as she might get ideas of...

Were down there a couple of weeks ago for floriade and stopped in on our way home. Quite impressive. I only had a short time there unfortunately. Hope to get down there again with some more time to...

I thought the same thing, for 6.5K I'd by dedicated stuff. Although if the different modules came with it it might be OK, but I am thinking they would be added extras and that the price is just for...
