Back in the old days before panels were invented they made saws (breakdown/rip) that were built like sherman tanks. You could just about put anything through them and never kill the motor. I use a...

Back in the days when computers were not that common and laptops were very rare. I would carry my computer at the time in a box that could be transported from one work location to another. From...

Oh no we have a Gumby and a Gumpy now the typos will be really confusing.

I am one those that have not purchased from carbatec even though they are just down the road. In fact I was in the Bayswater store yesterday and it seen as though the contents from the Richmond store...

For the last 15 years I have been using my masport mower fitted with chipping blade to chip the smaller debri (1 inch max) around the home. The metal deck is just starting to show signs of wear in a...

As a young and keen apprentice joiner, I would make up the traditional mallet with square head and tapered shaft.

As time went on, I got lazy and just turned the mallet up on the lathe.

Both...

The best saw I have had was a Black and Decker saw cat, a tear came out of my eye when it blew up because I knew I would never be able to replace it. Well I did with a Makita 9 1/4, not within a...

Holidays are coming for me as well. Yes the only time I get bored is between thoughts.

During the holidays I am going to remove my asbestos roof and replace it with zinculume. Rewire,...

Try the new Selleys indoor/outdoor glue. It foams up when it comes in cures. I use it for window sashes.

At first I thought it was just the backhoe pushing the train carraige along, but further viewing showed a different senario.

I have driven a few backhoes in my life and when you get the rear...

That certainly is a sight worth looking at. I once supervised bridge works in Victoria and the one place in the world at that time that amazed me was Japan. These people would build bridges just...

There are quite a few other cad programs around, some mentioned...

This is a bit off topic.

I was at Maton guitars this week having a look through there factory. They have two CNC routers doing the job you require.

Really quite amazing to watch them cut out...

I bought a skil drill from Bunnings about 5 years ago for $80, its the best drill I have ever owned. Its got a deep reduction gearbox and is ideal for those heavy jobs like screwing in 100mm tech...

I voted the Hatachi. I have had a TR12 for about 20 years now even though it does not get a lot of work from day to day, it's still done it's fair share of heavy work in its life.

On the other...

How things have changed. I would never of thought you would have to spray the table of a jointer. I have used them for years and have never done that, but then these are commercial units. The tables...

I thought the best option would be to make a jig up yourself.

Most jobs that I go to the doors are prehung but where they are not, you see the carpenters with there home made butt hinge jigs.

Working as a stairmaker, I have used from 1-8 in the Stanley range. My preference to all these is the 3 and 7.

In the wood machining trade there was an old saying. You could always tell a good and experienced wood machinist by how many fingers were missing.

I must be a bad wood machinist because I have...

My short experience using these gun amounts to about 5 shots into hardwood in a stairwell. It did not have enough power to drive the nail in all the way. I ended up getting my duofast out to do the...

As a stairmaker we always plane the misaligned joints with a number 3 or 4, the 7 is a bit long but still can be used. The direction of planning ofter was dictated by the most effecient form of stock...

My camera is a digital Canon A200, great for close up shots and not so good for those long distance shots. I have taken close to 5000 shots so far and its still going strong.

As soon as I saw them on special I bought two. My D-Handle Makita unit costs heaps so it was an easy choice. I saw them at the wood show last year but have not seen them since, so maybe GMC thought...

I use both metric and imperial.

I mainly use imperial measurements as a checking facility to large metric measurements that I make.

On building sites you still hear impearial measurement...

I am another Hegner fan, as a secondary school teacher we only buy tools (funds permitting) that the students cannot break and the Hegner has proven this to be the case. Its been going strong...

I thought the go would of been to make the shed down the back into a workshop and the workshop under the house a finishing room. At least this way you can expand without much effort whereas...

Just bought a house with AC sheeting on the roof, it will come off soon. I spoke to Reeds in Melbourne about the cost of taking away 100m2 and it would be $1000 so now all I have to do is remove it....
