is this mens shed still operating?

I've recently moved into Latham and am interested in joining a mens shed.

Hi Craig,

They recently updated the page here - http://impressiveexhibitions.com.au/index.php/canberra-at-the-show.html

Hi guys,

My 30th is almost upon me and I've just bought a house with a 2 car garage which I'm going to insulate and turn into my woodworking shed. Since I'm coming from a townhouse, I have no...

looks great mate, well done! :D

what?

I work at a paint shop :)

I'd be using a natural Scandinavian oil such as the stuff by Organoil myself. Nice smell, with a bit of durability. Would be interested to hear other thoughts though.

Hi Rob,

Glad you like the colour, it's a good quality stain that one. As for putting oil over the top of it, you just have to be careful that the timber is going to accept more product into the...

Could you please bring down a Dust Bee Gone mask with you (if you aren't already)? I'd be interested in having a look at one, and potentially picking one up.

I'm very keen to go! After looking at the shedule for the event - http://www.eee.net.au/pdf/tww/canberra/Canberra%2009-Daily%20Demonstration%20Schedule.pdf , I'm assuming that the shedule is the...

Sikkens has a timber deck finish called Cetol Deck Plus which has a non-slip additive already mixed through which gives it a nice slightly chalky non-slip finish (your local Bunnies should have a...

Does anyone have any experience with the Wattyl Professional Scandinavian Teak Oil at all, and how the finish on it is compared to other brands?

When I attended a woodcare course hosted by Orica (makers of Cabots & FW), the trainer there told me he is pretty sure there is little to no difference at all between Cabots Danish Oil and FW Danish...

G'day JHA,

I would pop into Bunnings and look into a product called TSS by Feast Watson (or possibly Integrain). You'll need to use it alongside an oxalic acid based cleaner, but I think that...

Bunnings stock Paraffin Oil with all their metho and turps. Do you know if this is the food safe variety, or is it the dangerous variety?

I'd be curious about this also.

I think it would depend some what on the oil used previously, but I'd more inclined to sand it back regardless to make sure it doesn't interfere with the topcoat. ...

Hi there.

I work at Bunnings in Belconnen/ACT, and agree with what they've said about leaving wood to dry out. I'm not very familiar with Black Butt so someone more knowledgeable will have to...

I'm studying at the University of Canberra for my Teaching Degree, but the Carpentry qualifications have to be done through CIT (Canberra based TAFE).

Sadly even though I am 4th year it looks...

hi Mal.

I work at a bunnings here in Canberra and have had a chance to use Glasscoat at home myself and found it to be excellent. Once you have sealed your timber, that should prevent any oils...

Hey guys,

I'm studying Secondary Teaching (Design & Technology) at Uni with hopes to be a woodworking teaching. Currently studying Carpentry and in my 4th year of studying Teaching so shouldn't...
