Jeffwoods can run either 2 or 4 blades .I run 2 , it's a lot easier to...

Next time you need to snig something like that ,if you can't get a roller or two under it ,use a bit of bull nose roofing or an old car bonnet .A bit easier than ploughing .:)

OK , the same applies ti the bottom plugs .Glue them in with5 minute epoxy and sander dust .Lots of glue but push them in from the bottom to keep the insides clean .

Linish the bottom clean and...

Hello Don .
OK , firstly you need a good bandsaw or access to one .I prefer a 1/4" x6tpi blade .I'm sure there are few posts about bandsaws on the forum .You will be cutting at least 4" hardwood .
...

G'day Don , I don't mind at all:) .You're a long way from my stamping ground if i did decide to make more .

Have you made bandsawn boxes before ? Tell me if you know the basic cut out technique...

Well the part that I liked about it was the free flowing part .They are no straight lines , no "proper" way to do things ! I've made about 4000 of these over a 8 year period and sold every one .:) So...

Hello all .I'm new to this part of the forum but have posted a little bit in other sections :)

.I have made a lot of these boxes over the years and sold a very large number .I'm not making them...

A good looking hull Tony .:) They seemed to do things well in the West .

I'm a bit late on this one but I've given it lots of thought too .There a some pretty cheap 13 hp horizontal shaft motor on Ebay for around $350.Chinese but good according to a friend who has put one...

A few pics Shane .You could live aboard , but you would need to be a hardy type ...and very short .:D She's a lovely little boat but does need some work .Mainly a pile of ribs aft,port .

Thanks Gidgee .A couple of useful photos ,the counter weight is something I probably would have overlooked .I've chased up 20 x 45 mm OD used but OK bearings , used from my local auto electrician ,a...

Mate ,I'd email Tony .Last time I saw him he said the price was down from the $20k , but how much I don't know. She not a live aboard by any stretch though ,quite small really .A great boat for...

hello ,
2 comments on the moth .
One . If you set out seedlings through camphour laurel infestations they will go straight up .The camphour seems to over power the moth's sense of smell .

If you doubt getting the 1 1/2" in you might try 2 layers of 3/4" :).That would be pretty easy ,especially green .

16 Gauge--1.5mm. 17 Gauge--1.36mm. 18 Gauge--1.2mm .

Hi Stopper , the rule of thumb ,as I understand it ,is that the blade should be 1000th of the wheel diameter . ie for a 1200 mm (4 foot ) wheel...

Not recent but it gives an idea .I'll post down in Boats later .

Gidgee ....mate , thanks ! Just what I was looking for :2tsup:.

Hello Stopper , those are serious blades .

What is the wheel diameter and blade thickness ? Do they have gullet cracking ? It might affect their usefulness as knife blade material .

Sorry Archie , but my browser doesn't like that site .What sizes are you using ? Spotted gum (green ) is pretty easy to pull in ..pity I can't see the photos :(
If you can twist it , do so ! Save...
