Congratulations Bob. Just need to wait for the beard to complete the picture.
Cheers

Bob. The baffle box as shown would I suspect potentially trap dust and clog. Would it be better to rotate it 90 degrees so that air flow was downward?

Hi LukeI have used the ferrules from McJing. They are stronger than copper tube and a good price.https://mcjing.com.au/categorybrowser.aspx?categoryid=664Cheers Larry

Yes Pearo, they are great at finding nails. Remember that rather than replacing or even sharpening the blades if the nick is not too large you can offset the blades so that the nick won't leave a...

For those who missed it on Landline today there was a great story about an 84yo saw miller who built his own saw mill from scratch at the age of 60 and still uses it 3 days per week.

I have...

Yes they do service industrial customers ( my cabinetmaker brother-in-law uses them) but they are real saw doctors and easy to deal with. I haven't purchased the size blades you are talking about so...

For a quality retailer in Perth I use Hughans saw service in Osborne Park. They sell and sharpen all types of blades.

Hi Lyle. There is a centrifugal switch in the motor. I had problems with my WDS400 and it was that switch that was the cause of the problem, though it might appear to be a thermal overload problem....

G'day Bob

First of all I must apologise. I have been reading your post retirement posts all week and it struck me that while I have been at work coping with meetings, bureaucracy, idiots,...

What Bob and Harry said - see David at Perth Wood School, he's a good bloke.

You will also be in time for the Perth Wood Show from August 3 to 5. Perth Wood School will have a stand at the Show...

You always did have a wonderful turn of phrase Bob! See you tonight?

Larry

Gday Bruce

I assume you are talking about the 6in x 9 in machine. I have one as well. Behind the cover over the disc sander, between this cover and the linisher belt, there is a scale marked as 0...

I've got a 2hp dusty with a pleated cartridge filter on it. I also have a large shop vacuum that I use on power tools.

I used gyprock fixed onto steel studs. This gave me a gap for insulation...

I guess that mine must be finished Bob - I've run out of room. It's all lined, insulated and painted and clearly fully loaded. Time for a revamp I think. I couldn't have that much stuff could I?
...

Congratulations Bob. Exciting times.

Cheers

Larry

Thanks Derek for another great day in your shed and your willingness to share your expertise. Thanks also to the other woodies for your company and sharing your experiences and tools and timber.
...

Yes Derek, I'm in too. Saw, chisels, wood all ready to go. Glad to see that Pops has his priorities sorted.
Regards

Larry

G'day Derek

I'm in. I'll bring my dovetail saw, chisels, marking gauge, some wood, all in as new condition while I waited to find the time to learn how to use them properly. I'll also bring some...

Count me in too please Derek. Saturday or Sunday. It is always too long between get-togethers.

Cheers

Larry

Yeah Pops, a result of my lack of planning. We were just passing thu Burnie and I hadn't called ahead so didn't think we would catch up with Mike. When we did I was blown away by the timber and...

My wife and i were over in Tassie recently on holidays and managed to catch up with the folks at Misan in Burnie. We used to see Mike and Sandra at the Perth Wood Show each year, which is where most...

Yep, did mine last year. Fortunately a negative result as well. For me it was an "in-between" test. I lost my mother to bowel cancer in 96, so because of the family history I have been having regular...

Great to hear that you're still with us Les. I suspect that shopping for new toys tools would qualify as light woodwork :rolleyes:. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery so that you can get into...

G'day all

Like everyone said, a wonderful day was had by all. Great to catch up with some 'old' old faces and meet some 'new' old faces. And not forgetting Kerry, the 'old' new face.:U
...

Sorry to hear that Wongdai. Look forward to meeting you another time

Regards

Larry

Derek

If it's OK with you I'll bring some nice bread rolls for everyone for lunch and something for morning tea.

Larry

Count me in please Derek

Larry

Well done Ramps. Looks like a beauty. Even better than that other "cheap" one

Regards

Larry

David

Agree with Skew's solution. Should work well as long as your board is at least as deep as the bit.

The problem you face is that there is nowhere for the centre of the bit to run....

Denn

Sorry to hear about your "adventures" but so glad you and Rose and your daughter are OK. Sympathy to Rose on her loss. We did miss you and Rose on the day, and were a bit worried when you...

Hey WD

What Juffy and Pops and Touchwood said. I really enjoyed the day and the company, but I've got similar muscles to Pops' - old and sore. I must admit that I haven't moved far today. That...

Nice to have you back Shane :U

Larry

Juffy

I am in the Morley area but I can drive to your place on the morning, just PM me the address. Pity Burnsy can't make it, but that's life. Looking forward to catching up with Pops and Geoff...

Paul

Got your PM. Count me in. I think it would be a great start to the year to have the opportunity to do something for Shane, and hopefully set him up for a great year in '09. Saturday Jan 3...

That is truly magnificient Bob. What a wonderful idea and so well executed. Hardly surprising that the FIL likes it.

Larry

Hey Burnsy, I was at Abrasiflex this afternoon getting some 80 grit and 120 grit for my drum sander. They stock "Deer" brand cloth backed but only in 300mm wide. They sell it by the metre so I bought...

Many thanks to Derek and his lovely wife Lynndy for hosting such a wonderful event. A good time was had by all and it was great to see so many old and new faces (pictures being supplied by others). ...

Thanks for the email Derek. I'm certainly looking forward to it.

I would like to nominate sharpening as a topic for a masterclass from yourself, provided others were also interested.

Regards...

Thanks for the kind offer Derek. Look forward to catching up with everyone and hopefully taking advantage of a masterclass (or two) from you.

Larry

Having spent hours poring over my copy of Doug's magnificient book "Box Making" I can't help grinning when I see his description as "Apprentice". :U

Larry

Yep, I'll be there again this year. One of the highlights of the show is catching up with the "usual suspects" and meeting new ones.

Hi Martin

Sorry I didn't get in earlier with my order. The following info has been sent to the specified email address

Clamps ordered
2 x K60

1 x set of KP framing blocks

I'll definitely be there. The lunchtime show and tell is one of the highlights of the show. Someone has always seen something that you missed, or has bought something that everyone else can drool...

I think that I am the last of the attendees, apart from our wonderful hostess, to add my comments so it looks like everything has been said already. It was a wonderful day, the type that you leave...

Me too

That's a cryin' shame Dingo, but having said that I am personally in no flamin hurry to get the meet and greet over with. Putting it off for two weeks would not be a problem for me, but I am happy to...

Agree with the others and particularly Derek's sentiment. I am only going to see whether Dingo talks like he types.:) :)

Kenny was the movie on the flight back from the east my boss was on last week. He said it was the first time he had ever heard an entire plane laugh.

Either Saturday or Sunday fine by me. Others have not commented but I personally think that it would be great if Mike and Sandra Berwick were able to make it. I have enjoyed my interactions...
