If those places that are closer to you can't help, Bits of Steel at Geebung do just what you want. Pays to get prices around and compare but I've had good dealings with them. They cut "free" so...

I went through all this too, last year, in Brisbane, oddly enough. The pipe was easier to get (once I had figured out all the info neatly summarised above) than the threading. Cheapest I was quoted...

I've been wondering if the work, time and skills involved in fettling a #7 (although I've really warmed to the #6) might push me to buy a ready-fettled one or indeed a woodriver et al. If I find...

Hi All,

sometime contributor here. I bought one of Mick's tuned planes (a 4 1/2) late last year (and took an age to go and pick it up, but that's another story!). I thought I'd chime in here for...

Agree, agree! I just had a Machinery Moving BBQ and I called it that blatantly and made clear: no beer until after lifting. My stuff (surprisingly similar list to some above: approx. 250kg 12" table...

This is a horrible job! And yes, the tolex is almost always stuck down with contact cement so that's what you're trying to soften and loosen. You have a ply cab and that's good (what sort or amp are...

As well as the other excellent suggestions, you might consider Tage Fride's woodworking book, (books 1 and 2 available in one volume at the book depository for about AUD27 around now. And in fact, I...

Hi Folks,

I'm glad I followed Claw Hama's encouraging advice and bought a pipe thread cutter and a pipe wrench from Ebay and Tradetools Direct, respectively (I couldn't find my late stepfather's...

I have taken my partner (and one of the babies!) each time we've gone. This year she was able to help pick out the jarrah for our "to be" bar top and then she talked me into buying a domino (on the...

I definitely saw these at the carbatec stand at the Brisbane show last weekend and I saw the price but can;t remember it, sorry! They were certainly more than the screw in versions. I looked for them...

Sensational cabinet! Have you considered routing a small fingerhold on the bottom edge of each of the doors so it is out of sight but could provide enough purchase to open each door? I too prefer the...

I can vouch for this. Even the trade plumbing supplies I have had luck with in the past just buy in threaded pipe as needed from an external supplier. I have been quoted $7 per end for threading in...

Thanks! I'm halfway there, gal pipe ordered and they'll cut for free. I'm pretty sure I can pop over to mum's and rifle through my late old man's tools for a pipe wrench (why didn't I take more...

I don't know if you have already tried this but I checked on the Book Depository site for you and it seems to be out of print with the link through to second hand copies at a ridiculous AUD430+....

Thanks for the reply. All good points too. I think in the morning I might just hit some of the plumbing places around me. It's worked before for other stuff, just lobbing up to one off the street and...

Hi all,

This is the first thread I've started myself and fittingly enough it's a question! I've bought a bunch of pipe clamp heads at Carbatec and now I need to get the 3/4" black pipe purchased,...

I'll throw in my uninformed 2c as well. Something doesn't look right here. Believe me, I'm no fan of the BCC and the planning and DA/BA processes (having been through them and still involvedf right...

Welcome to the forum. If you post over in the renovate forums you'll get a stack of replies/opinions. My take on these things is to actually highlight the contrast and make a feature of it, if...

Hi there,

great piece. I actually love the whole aesthetic, stainless steel legs and all! If you don't mind, have a query. From reading your post, I'm assuming the doors are laminated strips of...

I've been wonderig about the same questions as I'm keen to do hard shellac and wax as that has been foolproof and looked great for me in the past with normal shellac. From the label:

FYI,

I just downloaded the program at work here (Firefox, windows XP)
cheers

Hello all,

on the basis of this thread (that arrived with perfect timing for my needs!) and my research online and in person at Carbatec Brisbane, I bought the 24" version and the router plate as...

Might this have been orange tung oil?
