basically a wooden box with a series of holes and cuts hit with a drum stick to produce a drum like sound. Hope that make sense. The link is version one which has way too...

Hi,

I just finished an Aztec drum which is going to get plenty of use and abuse. I was thinking of using Danish Oil, (first time to use the stuff), would this be suitable?
Thanks

I have the compact saw table ( a gift) and then bought the router table and stand later on. When in use, they sit on different sides of the shed and it saves me setting up time. Both hung on the...

I have two units, the router table and stand and the compact saw table. I want to buy the Bevel ripping guide. The packaging on the box states it fit the work centre and the M3 but doesn't say...

Many thanks bitingMidge for fixing the picture. Hard to believe I make a living developing databases but can't use paint. I think the forum has out voted the family, the wheels stay as they are. :) ...

Hi all,

My lastest toy finished. Made of a camphour scrap and pine for the prop. Many opinions as for the wheels, do they look OK or should adjustments be made or removed all together? Thus, I...

Does anyone know if there is a Triton owners club in the inner west of Sydney?

Benny,

I just bought the Ryobi and it has a few things wrong with it. To start with, 5 weeks old and already rusted which is really annoying. I know $400 is not much money for a machine but it's a...

Wongo,

I've been conned into renovating butchers blocks for friends with large kitchens and lots of money. From all the conversations with the butchers that I spoke to, they don't oil their blocks. A good...

I recently purchased a thicknesser to recyle timber as I can't afford to buy it new. Problem I now have is that i have bags of shavings and saw dust. The worm farm is full of it, the compost heap is...

So, back to Bunnings to buy sander sealer. What about grain filler? Again, is it worth applying this and sand over again?
Many thanks for ye assistance.

First it must be assumed that girls require time and money:
Girls = Time + money

As we all know, time is money thus Time = money

therefore girls = money X money = (money)2

Sander sealer, that's the stuff. Is it worth using? What about grain filler, timber used was spruce, pine and various hardwoods? Should I use this and start sanding again? What grit do I sand down...

I made a coffer table out of camphour laurel 15 years ago that had a hole big enough to put my fist through. I filled it with fibre glass. I was so impressed with this method that i still use it to...
