I find with those smaller tyres such as wheelbarrows they have lots of very small holes in them. Add some blue goo, inflate and it stays...

Bump - does anyone have any idea on where to purchase Ridgid drills from or know of any other brands that have good replacement battery programs?

Interesting. So any idea where to purchase the ridgid brand power tools from?

Are there any other cordless drill makers that offer a full replacement warranty for their batteries? The most that I...

Does anyone have any information on the availability of Ridgid products in Australia? They seem to be pretty highly favored in the US and I really like the fact that they have a lifetime replacement...

Thanks Mr Brush for your comments. I will post a WTB for some Vic Ash now :).

Thanks Joez. I hadnt heard of that one before, but will check it out. Anyone else have any suggestions?

I was hoping to get some suggestions for a suitable timber for a chair I am looking to make. I would prefer a timber that is light in colour but takes stain well (in order to match it to darker...

Thanks for the post Steve. I was wondering whether jarrah may be to light in colour, but I guess I could stain it to match.

I would like to make a chair to match in colour and style an existing desk, but am unsure of what timber would work best. I have attached a couple of pictures of the desk. Can anyone recommend a...

Thankyou both for the education :2tsup: :2tsup:

Hi Ray,

I seem to have found the new website for them here.

I have also attached a couple more photos - one of the saw overall and a second of the handle a bit closer up. Looking at the Disston...

Hi Pedder,

Thanks for that. Unfortunetly the second link wont open for me :?

Is there any way to date the saw?

NWW

I managed to pick up a panel saw that has the attached medallion. I was hoping that someone might be able to provide me with some information on the saw maker/time of manufacturer/country of origin....

I highly recommend having a chat with Greg. He is also able to ship smaller pieces.

I have just used a standard yellow glue from the big green shed or carbatec applied very thinly to the cardboard (to avoid it bleeding through) and stick the material straight to the cardboard. To...

Hi Ian - Thanks for that. I have looked through that list and been to the various websites, but it seems that none of the courses offered are purely hand tool focused.

If anyone has any other...

Just wondering if anyone can direct me to a hand tool class or course in Melbourne? Everything that I have found to date is either a mix of hand and power tools or have a distinctive power tool only...

53 is my guess.

Waldo, if you want me to I could probably pick a few up for you. Shoot me a PM and we can discuss it.

Grog, was the Moorabin store. Plenty of the 300mm F clamps left as well as some smaller ones.

They wernt quite the $2-$6 you paid, but they were very cheap (especially relative to Carbatecs pricing).

Thanks all. Very interesting - so it seems that awls and marking knives were quite readily available early in the seen. Makes me wonder why I havent seen one on the second hand market? Is it because...

Attention fellow woodworkers. My local big green shed is also doing a run out on besseys. Only grabbed 8 but there were heaps more. Spoke to one of the guys who was working and he said bunnings is...

Thanks for the contribution anyway Tom!

Derek, do you know where the name striking knife comes from? Where these knives actually meant to be struck (ie like a chisel)? I assume if they were that...

Im just wondering if someone has any information about the history of marking knives? Are they a relatively modern invention? It seems as though there are very few of them in the second hand/antique...

TM, I think you are thinking of Learning by Doing (The Learning By Doing Woodwork Room (LBD) : Inspiring kids to build their dreams)

I know of one in Melbourne - but that doesnt really help you :doh:

Hi NC,

I hadnt seen the two saws being sold as a pair - seem like very reasonable value.

NWW

Hi Alastair, thanks for the informative response. So essentially you would be suggesting two saws to begin with:
1. a cross cut tenon saw
2. a rip tenon saw

How big a saw would you then...

I have very little knowledge of handsaws and need a bit of advice. I am after a saw/s for box making and small furniture construction. I am thinking that I probably want the following:
- dovetail...

Thanks all for the warm welcome :)

Just a short introduction from another newbie.

Not much of a woodworker at this point, but was browsing the site and thought I would sign up. I am looking forward to learning a lot more!
