Thanks for your reply Ian. The Triton router has a reasonable dust extraction when placing it straight onto the work. The problem is the bit goes through the board, rendering the standard system...

Hi All

I've been using a home built jig for surface planning some Sheok, see attached photo. I been struggling to come up with a decent dust extraction system. What i was wondering, has anyone...

Something I found was a big help to my welding was an auto darkening helmet. I found it easier to line up what I was about to weld and it also leaves both hands free. If you go this way, buy the...

As much as i hate to say this. Have you checked your local Bunnings? I don't like them, but my local one has a range of small plastic wheels.

Hi Peter

The wheels came from our local Makit Hardware. They are 100mm. They had the best price in town, $2:35. This is important when I need 48.

Cheers Paul

I have 6 nieces under 6, so i made them all a stroller each. These are about 20% bigger than the cheapies available at K-Mart etc. Each has the name of the new owner stenciled onto each side.

Some more photo's of the trailer build. Still got to fit the brake calipers, jockey wheel, safety chains, wire it up (lights are on tray) and find some water tanks. And probally more things that i've...

Have i lost much in the way of strenght in what i've done, or, have i just made undue work for myself?

Finaly got to back to the trailer :U. Ended up with with a dose of chicken pox last weekend, not much fun :sick: We got the subframe and spring mounts done. Having a boily do the welding, better than...

On the water issue. I want to self-suficant for 6 nights/7 days. I cant always be garenteed water where i camp. If i went for the standard 120L in 2 tanks, it works out 2.85L each. 120L divide by 6...

Not sure on track. Was looking at removing it. Going to put a pantry/kitchen down the left side and put draws on the other side, with tubs or simlar above.

SHMBO only requirement was water. She had thoughts of 400+L.:roll: Not happening. Probally drop this down and just not mention it:D

Did a bit of measuring tonight, trying to work out if i can fit water between the tray and the chasis. And keep it sring over. Looks like I've got about 150mm to work with, see pic. Now to find tanks...

Thanks for the replies. Might wait till I've built the chasis and do some measurements. I will have to space the tray from the chasis anyway, I just thought I'd space it further if I went spring...

I do have a question though. Spring over or spring under? Does it matter? I'm leaning spring under, contrary to the picture. The spring keepers aren't welded yet. This will give me more room between...

With four girls (3-15) and the wife, a camp trailer was never going to cut the mustard. Not enough room for gear. My original plan was to use a trayback tray. I had the tray and was in the process of...

Hi all

Thanks for replies. The trailer will utilise a trayback ute tray as the "load carrying" space so a narrower track isn't going to cause me too many headaches. Under this will go the water...

Hi All

In the process of building a camping trailer and want it to have the same track as the tow vehical. It will also have Landcruiser wheels. Can anyone tell me the width of a Landcruiser 100s...

I like this piece. Unique. Looking forward to the completed unit. On a technical note, surounding the glass in wood has taken almost all chances of it breaking away. Exposed edges are where it's most...

Very nice unit. But as a glazier seeing glass like that scares me a bit. I've see toughened glass go with just the touch of a watch band on an exposed edge. Looking forward to seeing the end result. ...

If you wanted a smaller top. Find a cabnet maker that has just done a kitchen install and grab the cut out from the double sink, normaly free. I just grabed one for a mates table i'm building, trimed...

Maybe he does :D

We used to call one of my supervisors "Teflon", cos nothing ever stuck to him.

I work on the 3 meter rule. If it looks good at that distance, all good. As per the building trade:U. Plus my kids aren't as critical as i am. They love it and so will yours, no mater how...

I'm a Glazier so widows weren't going to be a problem. It's all saftey glass so less problems if it's broken. The two side windows open, while the veranda one is fixed. Think the girls ended up with...

Windows in and the 1st coat of paint. I didn't choose the paint:). Slowly, slowly, still going forward. Just about finished the stairs/ladder, hope to have that up by next weekend.

:d

Couple more photo's of the progress so far. Slowed a little due to work comitments and the weather.

I have fitted reversing lights to our van. Second best thing i've done for backing it at night. Think c/park, at night, with shmbo trying to give instructions:D. The best thing i've done is fitted a...

This has been a very interesting read. The only person that has free range of my shed and tools is my father and me of his. My care and respect for my/his tools has come from him. I have blackboard...

Day One - Put the corner posts aprox 600mm into the ground and filled with rapid set. The 4 posts are 2 pieces of 90x45mm coach bolted together. This way worked out half the price of 90x90mm posts....

Photo's of the cut out.

Table is 900x450x40mm and the insert is 250x250x4mm mairine grade ali. The router is centered. All i manged to aquire free, all the timber was scrounged of various building sites i work on.

As i said. A bit basic and bit rough:U

This might be a litle out of left field but. An Albany (WA) guy built a 5 wheel caravan, towed by a ute, and fitted a 15' boat n trailer behind. He needed and had a MC licence. It made the local...

Wow and bugger me. I’ve just finished and spent the last few hours playing with a router table. Had to stop, was running out of dodgy scrap and was looking at the better scrap. I should have built...

Very good eating. Much targeted over here, hence only allowed 2 per day. This is possibly being reduced to one. Not many speared on the south coast as they don't come into the shallows (20-25m)...

Sorry I bought the only one with the winder. The 4 remaining are guides only, not sure which router to be used with. All are/were $10

There's one for sale on Ebay. Pick up only in Melbourne. At $91:00 as of 2030 Friday 10th. Might be of use to you.

Cheap is why i like them too. I would like a thicknesser though. It'd make for less sanding.

Just a few photo's of toys for my girls. Chair and horse are out of pine pallets. The box is out of glass packing crates and few bits from Bunnings. My partner painted the flowers around the base.

Just a quick update. I've purchased a MOF001, should be here in a couple of days. Like to thank all who posted here, i appreciated all the imformation supplied. It did aid in the decision making...

You can never have too much foam. Mine carries more foam than i took out. I filled under the foredeck. A least the nose will stick out of the water if i stuff up and sink.

Thankyou to Ray and everybody who replied. I think i will go for the 1400, as I do most of my work freehand. If I find I start to use the table more and more i may just have to buy the 2400. Being...

Firstly, thanks for the replies and hopefully i can learn from this site. Secondly, i'd love three routers, but covincing she who must might be a challenge :-). I do have a basic/cheap B&D 810w...

Howdy.

Hope someone can help. Is there any differences between the 1400w & 2400w router, besides the ovious motor size. What i'm meaning is the adjustment, plunge bushings etc the same. I've...
