Hi everyone,
My young fella is restoring an old Standing Lamp that I have had in the shed for a long time. The base on it has some large cracks in it and I was hoping for some advice on how to...

Thanks for the responses everyone. I finally found the short, where I had crushed a wire installing a car seat. The rear light wires run straight past the anchor points.
Thanks again for the replies.

Howdy,
I was hoping some folk on here might be able to help with a little dilemma I have with my trusty Corolla.

Whenever I switch the headlighs on I blow a fuse that controls the dash lights,...

Thanks Steve. The shed roof is flat to there's not much room for storage off the ground. Putting things on wheels however is a great idea that could free some space. Waterproofing was my main concern...

Hi Everyone,
I am hoping I can get some advice about storing timber. I have extremely limited storage options at home and as a result you need a team of sherpas to traverse from one end of my shed...

Hi Grumpy,
What version of Windows are you running? (assuming it is windows)

Hi Everyone,
I dont know if it is appropriate or not but I just thought I would let you know that a tree has been cut down in front of our work. I think it's an Oak tree, but there was some...

If it's not happeing all the time then it's got me a bit stumped. It could have just been a glitch in the mail server or the mail client or something. If it were happening on a more regular basis I...

Howdy. Was it a one off occurrence or is this staff being inserted into emails all the time?

Hi folks. I too have a MK3 with a slumping chassis. Does anyone have any idea where I might get a replacement or am I doomed to trying to make one myself?

Thanks very much to everyone for their replies. I will try a saw sharpener first to see if they can clean them up. I also note that they are only a 4 inch blade not 6 inches so if I do need to...

Hi Everyone,
I recently aquired a combination table saw and planer ( one of the neighbors was putting it out on hard rubbish!) and while being a little old, overall the who setup is in quite good...

Howdy,
To me it's all about communication. I remember trying to buy a car from the trading post a few years ago and when I went to inspect the vehicle I found he had already sold it to another...

Hi,
If you're only interested sewer related inspections try getting a price from one of the companies that specialise in cleaning blocked sewers and such. We had one last year to clear a blocked...

Looks fantastic! Amazing what can be achieved with old floor boards and other bits and pieces. Well done!

You still have to get it onto the truck.



Never had any issues with splitting wood on the ground. Mind you we were always either splitting on clay bases or sand.



You still have to...

Until the yellow box starts getting stuck onto the splitter head and you have to belt it off with the hand splitter anyway.

My old man was a firewood supplier and I worked for him over the summer...

Excellent work so far Andy!

A quick question for you though, what sort of oil do you use for the cooling process? I can imagine that thicker oils would have a vastly different cooling time than...

What child wouldn't want to ride on that? Awesome!

Howdy,
I dont know if it would suit the look you are going for (probably not) but you can get this plastic T moulding strip that goes around the edge of particleboard. You then need a groove all...

An alternate spelling for FISH?

GHOTI

GH makes and F sound in trough, O makes an I sound in women and TI makes a SH sound in words like quotient.

I know La Trobe Uni in Bundoora used to run a tool library for students. It was quite handy for borrowing things like mowers and such.

Thanks fencepost, I'll take it nice and slow so I make sure I don't fall into any traps like that.
Thanks again

Thanks for that folks. I am going to get some hole saws this weekend.I'll look into the router jig too.

Thanks again!!! :U:2tsup:

Hi Gra,
Power tool wise I have a router, jigsaw, circular and mitre saw and an electric plane. As far as hand tools go I have a couple of panel saws and some tenon saws, hand planes, chisels etc....

Hi Everyone,
I am just seeking some advice for cutting circles. I want to be able to cut two circles out of timber with about a 10cm diameter. I should slo note it is the circles I want and not the...

Hi Silverman,
As a beginner myself I've played with both mitre saws and hand held circular saws. It depends a little on what you want to be cutting, remember that a mitre saw will only cut short...

Hi Slow6,
I think you have outlined the main reason frames were pretty much abandoned in favour of other methods such asusing tables or cascading style sheets (css).

As far as the lack of a...

Howdy,
Depending on the camera you have you could also get a polarizing filter. From what I remember these make ths sky more blue and the couds more fluffy. Will only work on an SLR or a digital...

Good morning all!

Just thought I would come on and introduce myself.

I'm new to woodworking, haven't built anything of note yet, but I am in the process of finishing off my shed. Once I have...
