I was always told to "use it" like somebody else paid for it. I'm not sure how much your using but I know I go through a lot

Thanks Ern

Variation is the right word for it,
I was a little rushed to finish, as it was for a visitor, the carving came out of necessity
from a damaged foot. I would have liked more time and the right...

Thanks Brendan, after googling a few picks I'm sure your right. :2tsup:

G'day all,
I was hoping somebody might be able to ID this timber for me.
The timber came from a very old fence post from a property in the south east of SA. It is very hard and heavy for its size,...

124......Does that mean i win!


Did i mention that I'm colour blind :doh:

Thanks Steve, Looks like a keeper that one. :2tsup:

Hi all, after picking up an old stanley plane for a couple of dollars the other day I've become very interested in the stanley time line. After being held up at home with the Old Ross River virus...

Thank you, appreciate the comments

Got some shed time this weekend, and had a crack at this. Its a piece of redgum that fell out of a tree at work, a lot of CA and some epoxy to ensure it held together. lid is Myrtle burl and my first...

My brother asked me if I could make his young fella a toy garage to keep all his cars and trucks in. probably got a bit carried away, but it should do the job I think. only problem now is that I...

Well I'm one the side of the mighty Husky, got 2, and they are bloody fantastic. A year ago i finally got the old man to upgrade his stihl, and i can tell you that he couldn't shut up about it, he...

Gday Ross,
I might be off track on this one but it seems the Lie Neilsen items are all from the same seller, currently anyway. but if you've been scouting for a while and it hasn't changed then I'm...

I'm in trouble then Hughie, I made mine out of olive!

Wouldn't miss it for the world, I'l be there! :U

Gday Willy

A friend explained the process to me before i attempted the ball. I'll try. After turning a cylinder, between centres, you make a very small grove in the centre, that will be the...

Top job, they look awesome:2tsup:

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've had some time in the shed, my wife decided to start a law degree which seems to take up a fair bit of time, but i figure I've got 6 years till retirement, yay...

Mate, no expert, but could be a type of Ash. I've got some out in my stash that looks very similar. Someone else might be able to help you out if I'm wrong.

I'm lucky enough to drive past them 2 times a day. Kevin has done an awesome job, very clever bloke. Its been a huge attraction, people love it! :2tsup:

Done well Whittling, if it wasn't on a stick, one might shoot at it! :minigun:

BRILLIANT :2tsup:

I've seen a lot of very lucky pick ups on the forum and felt it necessary to show mine. my boss has had the bandsaw sitting in his shed for a very long time and i scored that as a "bonus". but its...

Thanks all,

sorry chipman, its already started

Gday all, just wanted to post some pics of my first ever turnings. Got the new shed up and bought myself a second hand vicmarc VL850, and so far i'm quite happy with it, its a pretty solid unit. ...

I'm in Penola robyn, south east SA, in the coonawarra wine region, "Australias other red centre"
The caravan belongs to my father in law, one day it will probably go and i'll have a whole room for...

Gday, can i start by saying that i have been viewing this thread since it started and its been hurting, cause ive been shedless for about a year now and everybody knows how unhealthy that is! But...

Gday again Whittling,

Thought I'd give the golf ball a go, took abit to get into as all my gears still in storage, bar a couple of carving tools, they're hard little suckers, reckon I'll drill a...

Thanks Whittling
I did see those, very cool.

I like it :2tsup: Can i ask what sort of timber it is? I haven't really done any carving before but seeing that i'm shed-less at the moment i need something to do, or at least try!

cheers waldo :2tsup:

Gday Skippy
I've got my new shed going in next week, then I'll be looking at the same "problem" of dust extraction. be very interested to see how you go setting it up. can anyone tell me if...

just one concern that i'd have is running anything other than husky oil through it if its still under warranty. Just check the flow adjuster on the saw too it could be wound all the way out.

I just made the mistake of showing the missus your model, bugger. we've got a new shed going in next month and she's got a whole new room to herself. If your still keen to share I'd like to try to...

G'day all,
I've been visiting this site for a while for ideas and thought i'd better say hi,
i've got a brand new shed going in and i'm positive i'll be asking for ideas on set up and tool...
