:confused: I read somewhere that the tubes never really die. Its the stuff around them that does. Any truth in this.

Did you try "degauzzing er degaussing er degausing'" well however you spell it

Were there ever any rules!

Edward

I have your same problems. I have just started to get back into turning after a long break and found the Cobra/CL does have some vibration all the way to the tool rest( made it near...

Edward

If you can e'mail me your contact details, i will arrange to send you a scan of the manual.

i think you will find Tuckeroo a quite unremarkable wood. I do a lot of work with bush revegetation and have never really seen a large enough tree that would produce much millable timber....

It will be a Tabibua sp. The trumpet tree. Pity it went they have the most spectacular flower display toward the end of winter.

It looks a bit like the African Tulip Tree when turned and a nice...

Jim has given a lot of detail on the Teknatool and the advise is obviously from experience and knowledge.

I have been using both Vicmarcs and Woodfasts for a long time and most of my friends have...

Try getting the latest drivers and reload.

Pretty standard advise but it always works for me- been using Kodak for years and when ever I have a hic-up I do the reload trick.

Usually the "twain"...

Moreton were a top lathe, but if you are looking at one with a steel bed ,it is probably an oldy made down a Hemmant and may have a shaft thread in imperial something like 11/8 " or 11/4"...

Thanks Neil

Their just down the road so I'll be there.

My Triton Orbital sander that attaches to an angle grinder blew apart a short time ago.

I was talking to the blokes on the stand at the Brisbane show today and they said that it would be covered...

Try Bretts at Windsor. If they don't have it no one will.
Brush Box used to be readily available but in this day and age, who knows.

Here is a standard- for drainage make your fall a minimum 1 in 100, below that and you've got problems.

If you're side is soil based then try digging a drainage trench( 300mm deep will do) with...

Thanks Neil

Been away for a break. I'll pass the info on.
I think it may be shellac because I'm sure she mentioned a grime type build up.

I know you can buy the knobs but I bought a 1/2" box tap and die kit from carba- tec to do the knobs on my ceder draws because I couldn't get the timber I wanted.
The instructions say that cutting...

Can anyone give me an idea on what type of finishes were used on commercially sold veneered bedroom suites of the 50's. You know; Bedhead, "tall boy", "low boy" dressing table and stool.

I have a...

Can't help with taking wood out- you'll have to check with your customs. Manufactured goods( turned) might be ok.

I have a huge number of hoops to jump through even if I want to take soil of...

I have never used a mandrel. Hold your blank in the chuck - turn to a rough cylinder and trim end- drill hole for brass centre- measure and mark (near accurate) the lengh of the brass centre- glue...

We've got the fire ants here in Brisbane too, but we know how to handle them????????

If you have 2 free days in Cairns try to do a trip to the Atherton Tableland it will take a day to do and hopefully will stop at the Tolga Timberworks. If it is like the old days you'll see...

Hope that old original Woodfast is waiting for you when you when you get home to Brisbane. Easy to get inserts for too.

Steve

My advise is to go for it and enjoy. I had a look around and botanically its a hardwood but acts a lot like our Hoop Pine ---Colour it and do what you like with it. Finish it how you want....

Try looking for a Record DML24x I've seen them for $450. Beautiful little lathe for small work. Cut the bed bars down and fill with clean dry sand. I used one for minature work for a while.

Lynette, Take the old fella and let the teenager grow to an old fella.

Thanks for your help everyone. That's what makes this board so good.

I don't think my machining skills are good enough to make a set Grahame, so it will be of to Carbatec.

PS I use Gidgee...

I have a Taiwanese 14" bandsaw and the top guide casting has broken. Does anyone know if and where replacments are available.

Hi Lance
I contacted Mobil in Brisbane some time ago and they sold Mobil-Cer-M in bulk. It was some sort of a by-product in one of their processes. It is sold as end grain sealer by all of our...

Tricky Question!

After I had deck built I spent the next 2 years tightening the bolts on the main bearers. 3/4" on the 6"x4" beams.I knew they were very green and was prepared for it.

Tristan The rings you refer to can be bought commercially from Woodturning Supplies at quite a reasonable price. I have one for rough turning to set a foot up on my bowls. They are convenient if you...

Tristan If you can Email me I might be able to help.

Thanks John and everyone else for your help. It appears that the old story might hold true " You Get What You Pay For". My very first lathe was a Wolfcraft drill attachment, great while it lasted, 4...

Does anyone know if there is a commercially available biscuit jointer attachment for an angle grinder. I know they're available in the U.S.A., but are they available here. Can anyone help.

John
I did the price and feature thing about 12 months ago and found that the Vicmarc 200 and 300 are very very competitive. I began with bare lathes and then started adding the extra bits to get a...

If your spectacles are fogging then it means that the seal of your mask is not satisfactory. If you're using disposables, purchase good quality charcoal filled ones with a valve on the front and...

In for a penny in for a pound. These new chucks work well because they they have a large expansion diameter and better surface to surface contact than the standard engineers chuck. I have tried a...

Paul- Look for an internal stair manufacturer in your phone book. They always have offcuts of intersesting timber that they are ready to give away and you should be able to find sizes for either...

Tristan, From what I could make out from your photos, the trees are teriliana. If they have rough bark for about a metre or so at the base then the trunk is smooth and shiny above and the leaves are...
