Thanks TTIT for the kind words.

I used ubeaut red dye and diluted it quite a bit to get the pink colour, I did a few test off-cuts to get the colour dilution right. I heated the dye solution up...

Hi all,
l was requested by my 5 year old daughter to make a new jewellery/keep sake box as her ever growing collection of necklaces, bracelets, and other stuff out grew the old one. So we went into...

I have really have nothing of value to add to this discussion, I just wanted to say WOW :)( those are some mighty fine looking tools. I have a soft spot for the look of those gen-nou, and those nomis...

I'm In.

Sorry Supperbunny I have decided to keep it.

I think I will go with Derek's suggestion as I do make small things from time to time and I think a small smoother will come in handy.
As for a...

Thanks Derek for the reply, the wood I mainly use is Tas oak for a lot of my projects as it cheap, however the coffee table is going to be made out of Australian red cedar and maybe some other...

Hi all

I have just purchased my first block plane, a Veritas DX60 Low Angle block plane though Lee Valley, to cut a long story short I have ended up with two PM-V11 blades, they have generously...

The results of the silent auction were released today and the winner is....not me.

So thank you all for your advice, I'm not too upset with the result. I placed a bid that I thought was a...

ok this is where things are at. I checked the wheels for play in the bearings by trying to wobble them, no play, so I gave each a spin and they seem fairly smooth. Then insert in the table looks it...

Thanks for the advice and links. It's sounding like 3 wheel machines are more hassle then the are worth. I will have a look for date or something else to indicate age. Looking a the motor plate it...

Hi all, I'm a long time follower but this is the first time I have started a thread as I could generally find what I was looking for.

Back on track, as part of a recent workshop upgrade at work...

I like Mark 4 also, those front wheels look much better! I also like the new aero front end. How are those flames coming along?

First off, that is a realy cool dragster, I like it :2tsup:. I would also put my hand up for a copy of the plans if you can give them out. Second, I would have to agree that the front wheels are a...

Nice one Superbunny, I love it when the postman brings gifts instead of bills. I'm very jealous, I have wanted one for a while now. Enjoy your new found love and may all your shavings be like those...

I have just booked in to do the dovetailed school box, hammer in hand course, so I'm super excited.

I should also give a :2tsup: to both Jacqueline and Alastair from the Melbourne Guild of Fine...

Those master classes look amazing, I would be really keen to done one, would have to get top level clearance from the finical adviser though.

Just looking at the course outline I get the...

I have made the odd bit of furniture and as I'm a completely useless tech drawer, I found google...

Im keen on a box. PM sent :2tsup:

I have the exact saw that Stu is talking about, the Gyokucho Dozuki 372. In fact I ordered mine though Stu on his advice. I could not be happier with the purchase and it has seen many cuts and still...
