Greetings all,

I have decided to make the 12.6 Kaholo standup paddle board from CLC. I am building it for my kids and will probably end up making another one in 12 months time.
I have a set of...

From what...

I got rid of my landline 6 years ago. I have been using VoIP exclusively since then.
A couple of points:
1.It took a while to get the setup just right. That took a lot of reading and testing. The...

There are a couple of problems with swapping to lithium.
Firstly you need a different charger. This can significantly add to the cost.
Secondly if you run a lithium battery flat it may never...

This is a simple modification to do. I have done this for some of my work test equipment (after seeing the price to repack the battery).
The way I would do it is cut the battery pack away making...

Well it has been a long time since I have posted anything. Lets hope I can still remember how to drive this thing.

This table was made for a spot in our kitchen that we like to eat breakfast. It...

I bought mine from www.umart.com.au

Can I suggest that you just buy a wireless router and be done with it.
I just bought a Linksys WRT150N Wireless-N Home Route. They are going for about $110. It uses WPA2 supports VPN, DMZ etc.

G'Day Wendy, yes I have been silent for a long time. It just took me a while to think of something sensible to say.

The finish in just amber shellac rubbed back and a dark polish.

The colour...

Well that was an anticlimax the bloody photos fell off, try again....

Well it appears that I may have finished a project. Although I have never finished anything before so I am not sure.

Anyway a life time ago I got some reject floor boards from Hurfords. Some of...

Pete I bought a sheet of tin to make punched tin panel.
The stuff I got was too hard. Punching it neatly was really difficult. Because you had to hit it so hard to punch through the tin tended to...

As has been said above it is probably cactus, but it could be the tuner.
To check if it is a tuner issue use an AV input. Normally this would be via RCA plugs from a DVD, VCR etc.
If you get good...

Burnsy, I have also been trying to justify the $3000 for the Jet 310 combo machine.
But yesterday I was in Gregory's and they had a smaller model (260) for $1700. The machine looks almost identical...

When I was a kid we had a school bully that made a habit of snatching lunch's out of a kids hands and stuffing it his mouth before you could do anything.
On one occasion he went so far as to take...

Just to confirm what many several people have said, Stots won't ship to OZ.
The Stots web site has pages that will let you select Australia as destination, but other pages will not. So after several...

I keep a copy of the database on a USB drive and can then use it...

Well sort of.

I use a cut of sled very similar to Rockers for most things. However it is a large beast which forces me to take off the guard and splitter to use it. This is O.K. if I'm going to...

----I haven't actually read the review yet so this may be out of context----
I don't think that its comparing apple with apples. There is no way that I would buy a 12 inch jointer (or even 10). But...

Midge unfortunalty the new workshop is of shoe box proportions so one of these compromise machines in propably the way I'll have to go.
I agree with the price being steep, but from the look it is...

I stumbled in to Gregory's the other day to look at combination thicknesser and jointer. Much to my amazement they had a new Jet model that I had never heard of. It is the JPT 310.
Gregory's were...

Mick I'm very sorry to read of the loss of you wife. Your post must have been extremly hard to write.

My thoughts are with you and your family.


Knucklehead.

My daughter has had peanut butter sandwiches every day for the last couple of years. A letter came home last month to say that next year there will be no peanut products allowed in the school.
Now...

No restrictions at all................. then it would be something like this

Jake I can't remember the exact definition, but I believe that 3 or more unwanted calls a day can be considered "nuisance" calls.
If you feel inclined you can raise a complaint with your carrier...

Andy, if you are lucky enough to find a skin stick it in the post to Queensland Muesum. They may be able to identify it.

I've used it a couple of times with good sucess.

I use 2 or 3 9 1/4 inch 40 Tooth blades as a dado set.
I know it sounds scarry but when setup with correct shims it is quite stable. In fact I have more confidence in it than the cheap dado sets.

As Craig said it is not a Biesemeyer fence. Its an Biesemeyer style fence.

But it doesn't really matter. You paid for the complete tool, fence and all.
Demand the missing parts. If you aren't...

Its probably already been mentioned in the masses of text above but I couldn't find it.....

One of the main reasons some rechargable batterys don't last in digital cameras is that they have...

Haven't made any saw dust for the last couple of months! The next couple of months are not looking any better.:mad:

I think I'll just have to practice the BBQ and beer part of the build.

Zed, I'm sure that this is well bellow your standard.

It was quick to build and is very stable.

Just something to watch, termites love the almost constant moisture around rubble pits and french drains etc.
Termites are very active in my area and is one of the reasons that I try and only have...

Bob, while not quite the same.....
In the last house I was in the shed suffered regular flooding because it was built at the lowest point of the yard.
It had 100mm trench drain all the way around...

I've got the jet and am quite happy, but have never seen the Leda in the flesh so will leave the comparisons to someone that knows.

But your prices are way off. The going price for a jet mini...

Silent, with a very quite 7 year old girl of my own I can feel your pain.:mad:
As tempting as it is to vent my anger all over the key board, I'll refame and just add a couple of points.

1. Put...

Mik I have just recieved my plans.

They are far more detailed than I expected. Are you sure that all these flash plans don't contavene the puddle duck ethos or something?

Mik I know you...

Lets see if the pictures stuck this time

Yeah it is a bit of both.

What the picture shows is tap with a through port (out) which has a lower loss than the tap. What this would normally be used for is drive another tap further down the...

A splitter, as the name suggests simple splits the signal. i.e 2 way splitter will give approximately 1/2 (3dB) the amount of input signal to each output.

A tap will cause a specified loss in the...

I use it when making stuff for the kids.
It is easy to apply and repair. But the main reason I use it is the smell.
The kids are very sensitive to the strong odours of a lot of the finishes. The...

There are many things in life that are worthy of getting upset about.
This isn't one of them............. not by a long shot.


Lets keep things in perspective, this is a woodworking forum. Lets...

Skew that sound interesting, can you post a picture to show what you mean?

I must confess to being so far in to the light that I have to wear sun glasses.:cool:

I think it stems from being a tradesman. Ever since I was an apprentice, jobs need to get done fast. Hence...

Thanks Peter.
