Will do! Just give me a few days (or so) to pull the frame from the racks etc.

Cheers,
B-D.

The seat and back are woven cord on the folding chairs. I'll send the photos off this thread to avoid cluttering the thread (unless Derek would like them included?)!

Cheers,
B-D.

I went through all the machines at the Melb. chapter of Felder, and you're quite correct. Although the Felder chap really thought that this model was now a 2.5kw motor (as stated on their website),...

Worse things happen at sea:D

The chair was moved to the verandah, rats chewed the cords, the kitten got the rats, and then we rescued the chair! The cat is no more...

Before it was stripped for safety reasons, it was my...

Derek,
I'd never taken note of this Wegner chap until you started this thread. After reading through it this evening, it turns out that the folding frame in the garage (which did a neat job...

PM sent!
Cheers,
B-D

The local chap has one in stock - I'd best go and inspect the motor too!
Cheers,

Single phase 3.5hp - http://www.hammer-australia.com/au-en/products/bandsaws/bandsaw-n4400-equipment.html

I had a good chat to the Melbourne showroom today, and the move from v to poly-belts was...

Thankyou Derek and Mat.

Most helpful. Unless Minimax made me a splendid offer on the MM16 they've got on the shop floor, it looks as if it'll be Hammer time!

Cheers,
Gav.

Is this the recent incarnation of this model? Single or three phase. 3.5hp? The guides are now the same size on all their models, I think.

Cheers,
B-D

You'd get a heavier piece of rope:D

Bench at a height you find comfortable, and a sharp plane:D

Oh, the humanity:D

Go on, rub it in further, and say you got the lot for a tenner:U

Wefting:D

I'd better get cracking. I've just got to finish the slot for the key, and sort out the batterns on the (warping backwards and forwards like a sea bird) D

Amazing what can be done when the grandchildren have finished their visit:U

More importantly, best not let the libs hear about your workbench, it'll be excised from the mainland if you don't watch...

The legs are Black Walnut too on that one. I only sneeze for the 'States variety, so have evidence:D

It's looking very smart! Hard to see from the angle of the photo, but is there a small brass hat on the end?

Excellent! :2tsup:

That's very nice. The handle and rear of the blade is neat and balanced - good work!

How does it cut?

Cheers,
B-D.

Smelt:D

I stand beside you, shoulder-to-shoulder, saving that heritage, once tempered in the sweat of our forebears, and now held aloft so those aforementioned dupes can fall to their knees in awe (while...

And I thought that was for refreshments!

Isn't another name for those 'filigree chisels' poor man's damascus steel? Even Titans can look this way after the correct time in a bucket of water:D

You can get special glasses that give all your tools a good communist tint...

I'd be going for handles, rather than some indentations for fingers. Gravity would be strong and sweary if your fingers were to slip:U

Hey Derek,

I don't agree with it either, but this is about what is perceived to be impartial, rather than the reviewer's standards. Personally, if there's a statement at the start of a...

I was meaning that for a while Chris was stating on pretty well every post which involved new items, that he pays for everything himself, and at a full market price. I suppose that in such a...

Hey Derek,

Aside from the finer stuff, I've been speeding things up of late with a dovetail saw who's kerf will allow a coping saw down the cut. No blade twisting breakages, and you can really...

I don't think that Peter was saying that all reviewers are working for tool companies.

Either way, does this mean that reviews can be classed into three categories? Company/industry/journal or...

And all these years I'd been told that red was for speed:U

I use my #8 for jointing and jointing alone. It's too much to be hefting at every stray bit of wood, and as it's set up perfectly...

I trust you beat the vendor down on the price?:D

Well, if Mr Schwarz is now toothing his benchtops, why not go one step further with a travisher:U

That's not fair! As soon as people stop playing with their tools, and actually use them, there'll be less wood for me:D

Very crisp, and a touch regal looking too. It is nice to see a Windsor chair without drunkenly splayed legs and new-world enthusiasm.

And now people in WA are buying it back! Considering that he's still only slicing at the 'top' of that log, they're going to get bigger for some time.

cheers,
B-D.

The right-hand picture could have gone in the pen-turning pages:U

Hurray for sally-rod-like ash!:D

They're all mine! I only need another eight feet, and there's enough:D

It's still a rather good price for a set of sheffield made chisels. I wonder if the Head Bun has reduced them at my local too...

I do keep getting muddled between catharsis and commercial activity:D

And by preference, was made during the reign of Queen Viccy:D

Beautiful!

Are there locks fitted?

I've heard that the lucky chap said she was "the best wife I've ever had"!

As made by every right-minded viewer of that photograph:2tsup:

Jimbur (unless anyone else would like to offer some.:U).
