I have 3( older Hitachi, Makita and a green Bosch and my favourite is actually the green Bosch( usually I wouldn't touch green Bosch stuff but it was given to me) one as it has a round dust port that...

Hi, I found it very helpful to have a copy of the engineers black book or something similar on hand when buying stuff on epay, I discovered the hard way there are a few "non standard" thread pitches...

Hi Grant, aside from the inherent issues of 2HP collectors debated above, I think the MWE unit is quite a bit better constructed than the carbatec one if I remember correctly, I would advise trying...

Indeed, Just got the bill from 1 who is drawing up some designs for alterations to our work building.

Hi Scally, watching the progress of your doors with interest as I've still got to make mine, I slapped together some chipboard and pine ones to block the hole in the wall for now.
Thanks for taking...

And I just thought that my shed builders couldn't be bothered getting it tight and neat! :D:D

hi, What type of plastic is it? LDPE can easily be supplied folded in 1/2 as its made as a tube. 900mm wide would be small enough to post as they have a 1m limit I think.

Hi, I am building some similar doors for my shed at the moment as I think they will look so much nicer than a roller door. As my shed is colourbond the doors are going to be painted so I don't have a...

I am in the process of getting a new shed at the moment.

I'm easy either way, as I'm picking mine up this end 2 drops don't mean much difference for me.

Your cheapest option mentioned works out to about $56 each + local postage to split the parcel up according to my calcs. By the time you do local post you might be best to send the 47 parcels...

Hi, I'd be in for around $300 worth.:D

Bruce T.

Hi, After a recent introduction into the world of air powered tools I am wondering which size nail gun is commonly used for 16-18mm MDF or chipboard kitchen cupboards- or is a stapler a better bet ?...

Hi Zed, I can't comment on the particular model your'e looking at , but 1 thing I regret with my T/s ( a 12 inch version of the TSC10HB that everyone seems to have ) is the lack of a proper riving...

Hi, I've got both the uniclamp and the K body clamps. The uniclamps are a lot lighter duty than the K bodys. I have some of the 300mm ones and then K bodys in the 600mm + sizes. I don't know if I...

Mine was a brief but entertaining visit, took the senic route home from Al's doing about 200k to get from there to laverton. A...

I'm afraid I have to agree with the others also Peter. I 've recently moved house and we have gone from a 135l storage unit to a instant unit( a fairly old Bosch one at that) and our gas bills are...

My Saw has only had minimal use also unfortunately.
Mine had a little vibration when I first set it up but changing the belt to a...

I reckon if you wait a while it will fill up , it looks like those ryobi ( ?) drills are multiplying :D

6TH is ok with me at this stage., Maybe a few still away on xmas holidays then tho, or do you all stay home in the shed ??:D

Bruce T.

Thats a great looking router table pwill and very nicely finished off, most of my shed projects end up with a coat of shellac or wax if they are lucky!

Great work.
