Thanks for all the replies :)

The base is designed off the simple workbench...

Yep, not very much for the work Ive already done with it.

Has the mitre guage although I'm not sure how accurate it is. Ive never liked those things. very sloppy in the guide for it.

Hi all.

Some of you might have seen that I recently picked up a second hand triton saw bench.

One catch was it didnt come with overhead guard or the guard support. Does anyone here have one? Or...

Thanks for the replies :)

Cleaned up the table fairly well. Was used at owner/builder site and I think was used as just a workbench for part of its life. Nice and clean now though.

Got my saw...

Hi all,

Well I purchased my first triton product last night. Its a second hand Powered Saw table (really wanted to get a 2000) but this one came up local for $50 so I really hope its worth it.

Hi everyone. Just got a quick question about bandsaw blades. My bandsaw needs a blade that runs clockwise as is most saws ive ever seen.

Is there a reverse bandsaw blade? I picked one up from...

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a Band saw - In "excellent" condition - Excuse the sarcasm here....

Being an ebay item there is not much really I can do about the condition. Was advertised as...

Ive got a Makita BTD140 18V and love it, make sure you get the 3 Ah batteries though.

A few guys at work have the Panasonic drivers and im not really a fan of them, they feel like they have a bit...

Ive got the Makita - Had it for 6 years and hasnt let me down. Well worth the Price

Care to share some more information as to why? Have you had problems with this machine?

EDIT: Pulled out the big scroll saw at work and its defiantly not anything to get excited about, as...

Wanted to go down to Carbatec on the weekend and rang them just to see if they actually had it in stock, which they dont :( Will be there this week sometime though so will have to go down this...

Just got an email via his Mailing list that I am subscribed too with his new Youtube video of the jointer.

Looks to work quite well, but could be...

He does some great one of a kind work, thats for sure!

Too much time on his hands? This is his job. In an interview I read on the net he gave up his IT job to follow his dreams of woodworking. Now...

Im going to go down and have a play around with the scroll saws this weekend. If I end up going down the carbatec route over the EX21 i will be getting a 12" sander too. Does carbatec give much in...

Thats a good saving. Its not showing up in the Melbourne online store though, maybe they dont have it.

I prob couldnt really afford the extra $100 anyway

Hi everyone,

Well time has come to upgrade my $60 ebay GMC Scroll saw to something more reliable and accurate. I am really stuck between 2 choices.

The Carbatec CT-SS18V Carba-Tec 18" Scroll...

Well, here are a few pics of the finished Cot and Change table. (well the change table isnt quite finished in these pics, the top section which holds the mat in place wasnt screwed on yet)

Never updated ts thread with pics, will do that later on tonight when im at home.

As for removing the Cabots stuff, I used a cabinet scraper and then sanded back. It left a few marks in the knots...

Funny. I was reading this thread last night thinking "I wish I had one of those vacs"

Coming home from work today, checking out the hard rubbish as you do for any timber or similar usable items, I...

Hi all!

As the title says, im a newbie when it comes to proper timber milling. Latly ive been having some fun resawing any decent sized firewood from my mates property. He doesnt have much in the...

I have looked at the Combo machines, how much would I need for a decent one?

Does the Hafco or Carbatec ones classify as decent?

I got the Handles roughed out of my softer FJ Merbau offcuts laminated together.

Was kind of stuck on how to do it safely and still be fairly accurate. I remember I have a cheap and nasty Hand...

Drill bits, brad points, masonary, spade bits, drum sanding attachments, heaps of screwdriver fittings, drill depth collars and and few other...

After thinking about what you are saying, there is no way to ensure parallel surfaces on jointer. But there isnt an easy way to square something like a 100x100 leg without a jointer.

I could use...

So im really looking forward to making a new solid timber workench using reclaimed hardwood.

I know that both squareness and dimensionally correct are both important, but which one more so? I need...

Agreed on Zipbolts. We use them at work for the kitchen benchtops.

We use the zip bolts to hold the bench together while 24hr epoxy fully cures. But there is no reason you could not rely on the...

So weve been really busy at work filling big orders. Ended up getting the headstocks glued up last night. Will touch up and sand down today, also filling the gaps of my not so perfect joinery.

Neal, Thats the one :) For some reason I thought it was a webpage, but that video brings back memories. He may have a website posting somewhere too.

Thanks for the interest Crowie and SM. Didnt...

Got the head stocks drilled out and shaped around the nuts, Used some Epoxy to secure them in.

Should really have used larger timber, or smaller nuts. It will still work out, but doesnt look quite...

I remember seeing on the net a while ago about some shop made DIY sash style clamps. Cant find the exact page, but I decided to try my hand at making some.

Hi Festool Fans!

We are looking to improve our production a bit in our workshop. We are looking to get an MFT3, TS-55 rail saw kit and a dust extraction vac.

We dont have enough room for a full...

Thanks for all the replies. This time I will use the standard 3 step process. I also dont think there is enough Varnish in the mix as it is, I was going to put another coat of clear over the top...

Hmm, that looks nothing like the one I seen at Bunnings

Possibly may have been looking at a different Brand? I would assume they would be much the same though :(

Guess I will need to sand it...

Never a silly question in problem solving :)

Yes, stirred well with Paddle style Paint Stirrer before use.

Hello everyone :)

I am currently staining a Set of Drawers/Change table for Baby #3

We wanted a nice dark colour and after a trip to Bunnings got a One step Cabots Rich Walnut Gloss Stain and...

Ok, so no guesses what Im going to use then :)
