This is the temperature data I measured in my Stevenson Screen over the past fortnight
The official Ballarat Aerodrome readings are in brackets
I live in a fairly build up area next to a shopping...

Ballarat Aerodrome recorded exactly the same reading I did yesterday at 13.9 degreesC
The minimum last night there was 2.7 and mine was 3.2. (The urban heat island effect probably accounted to the...

I have a few going, especially kitchen stuff like chopping boards, recipe book stands and now I am about to work of a knife block that can easily unassemble for easy cleaning. I am thinking of...

13.9c was the high today and I have not looked at the official record for out at the Ballarat Airport. But I am sure it would be not too far off.
When I just had the Stevenson Screen sitting on the...

The low was 3.1 degreesC last night and it was pretty cold and breezy when I looked. (I also removed a nearby bush to improve air circulation)

:cheers:

I also come across this one a lot on the internet and I can't help noticing that huge overhanging eave not only on it but the surrounding buildings.

The Melbourne CBD is much worse. It is on the corner of a busy intersection.

Here is another classic http://www.norcalblogs.com/watts/images/lovelock_mig480.JPG

I have just finished my Stevenson Screen
I made it all out of red cedar and I have set the instruments at between 1.35 and 1.45 meters above the ground which is well within the range of 1.2 and 2...

I just completed three walls and the door and I will be working on the...

I have two Dobbie thermometers, one for maximum and one for minimum. I may be considering others like a hygrometer to measure relative humidity.

I have just an obsessive interest in meteorology me having asperger syndrome and this is the biggest woodworking project I have done since I built a set of kitchen cupboards about 35 years ago. It is...

Hi
I am working on it at a leasurly pace this afternoon. The back louvres a nice and evenly spaced but the side louvres are not quite as well evenly spaced as I would like, but not too noticable....

Or to put is another way. A dog kennel for a Great Dane would qualify as big stuff; but a dog kennel for a Chihuahua, probably not.
Would that be a fair yardstick to go on?

BTW the Stevenson...

The ones I have seen were made out of red cedar. I think it is because cedar is a better insulator and very durable. All that aside it was very easy on the router bit and it is just as sharp as it...

I just have a cheap router. It is a GMC 1200 watt for $75 with 27 bits included. I was going the hire one for the project I was doing but I would of already outlayed more money on hire fees than...

As in anything that takes more than one man to lift like a full sized tournanment snooker table or a concert grand piano. That makes sense

Do you mean big as in the amount of material that goes into it ie; a new fence or a pool deck or big as in the amount of labour that goes into it ie; a very ornate chess set or a parquetry coffee...

Hi All
All the routing for the louvres was completed today and I used a template to help guide the router through the slots.
Later I need to make to double roof and floor with long routed slots...

Hi am new and currently I am building a Stevenson Screen. It is a big challange and I even cut the slots with a router to fit all the louvres in
Mine is not exactly the same design as the one below...
