Christos, sorry to do this to you at this late stage, but due to a prior commitment I will not be able to help out on SATURDAY at the T&WWW Show.

Friday and Sunday are still OK though.

Christos, I'm available also to assist with pack up if required.

I'm in. Any or all days, from10.30 am on till finish.

Unusual indeed, and a sure talking point:)

Like the design very much

G'day Ticky,

I guess its horses for courses. I have one of those "1/2 ton" (not quite) cast iron beasts you mention, and it has given me pretty good service. I guess though, that there comes a...

Believe its a very good machine...even so far as probably into the pro range, but you should certainly be pleased wih i. I guess the only place I have seen Hammer gear listed 2nd hand is...

I'm looking to replace my existing thicknesser, and have narrowed it down, so far, to a Scheppach hms2600ci from H & F, a Ledacraft PT107 or Ledacraft ML392. Each of the machines is in the same ball...

While to some it may(perhaps justifiably) have an Ettamogah-ish look about it, for those to whom it really matters, it will without doubt be like Buckingham Palace and the New York Hilton all in...

Thank you very much.


from Oliver

Looks good enough for an overnighter !!:D

I do a fair bit of work using recycled timber from pallets, and find that about 60% of the recovered wood is useable. I prepare all in the same way, on the planer then the thicknesser, if for nought...

Sorry, Christos, maybe I should have sent you a message?:B

Now the granddaughter knows how and where wood shavings come from! One of Oliver's older sisters (he is one of 6) is always chasing after wood shavings. She has a guinea pig! Now while I'm not a...

Today, Oliver finished his first real woodwork project!
The final sanding was done on the nboxes, knobs fitted to the lids. and a small tray to hold the boxes was knocked up and edged.

Then came...

Yep, definitely was the order of the day when I was a kid too....nothing beter than being with Dad at work making cupboards for the new house or building a chook house or dairy bails or meat safe...

Thanks to all. Young Oliver has seen himself on the forum and has read the replying posts. We are all very proud of him and his achievements.

He spent today with me making the lids for the boxes,...

Or $20.38 from The Sandpaper Man:2tsup:

Thought I'd share the keen interest that my young grandson has in woodwork and for that matter, all things DIY. He's 6 years old and is making a present for Mum for her birthday in a fortnight. The...

Havew to check that one out... these go back to 1974 at least. Don't know much about nthem myself, but LOML knows a bit..I'll see if I can pump it out!

Maybe my lottery win for the new saw might...

I like the new Bosch with its knee action. Very smooth actiion, quality seems good, positive locks.

If I was in the market for a new SCMS I would certainly consider favourably this saw; however...

Not an expert by a long shot.
But, I have a planer/thicknesser similar to the hms 2600i, although much more a vintage model, and it most certainly is capable of jointing timb er as well. Can...

Unusual look, but maybe the stain nmakes nthe difference in the timber's appearance.. Nice piece though, simple, plain and very utilitarian.:)

I think most unlikely...much too straight!:o:o:o

Very nice, particularly like the colour and the device/ornamental on the bedhead:)

Maybe I'm missing something, but where's the joint?:?

Ah yes! The model cars....my number 2 son has left me a legacy of his childhood model Matchbox vintage and yesteryear collection; stored in nthe roof space, they bhaven't been opened for many years....

Assuming that the slabs are 1.5m long x 80cm wide 8cm thick, then 6 slabs would be around .6 cu mtr. The approx value of NZ radiata pine logs, furniture grade, is about $200 cu mtr.

Approx retail...

Ain't that the truth.....many a fine story has been waxed eloquent with this small beginning.:rolleyes:

From my experience, glaziers today aren't interested in resilvering, largely because of the cost, much easier and cheaper to replace. Although the bevels will make the cost a good bit more.

If its petrified it will move away from you if you try to hit it with a mallet:oo:

Nearly there, and looking great

It is indeed. I have asked my uncle, the only one of his still living two sons who had anything to do with the coachbuilding and smithing, and his answer was along the lines that he had his own...

G'day Arry,

Maybe I can't see right or maybe the pic just doesn't show it, but the handles look OK in the pic. If they are in as good a condition as the shears, then they will last a lifetime...

I would suggest that Masters, like Bu....gs and pretty well all major enterprises, lean very heavily on their suppliers for the cheapest cost. It comes down to the point that if the suppliers don;t...

My bandsaw; for its versatility and usefulness to cut almost anything easily and accurately (or just cut it in the rought) without any great setup being needed.

'arf you luck, arry.:(

Big B barely cater to the home DIY handyman sometimes. Continual deletions, not to replaced, like #4 x 12mm brass plated screws, 25x19 brass plated butt hinges, timber finished excep Feast Watson or...

:wtg:

A lot of wood, a lot of joints, a lot of tools, and a lot of work....Scally, you're taking it all in your stride. I'm sure the end result will be a tribute to your labours.:2tsup:

Looking forward to the clear and lustrous photos with anticipation.

And more! There are some interesting books among these, and to be able to download....grest.

Thanks again Crowie, your research and generosity of time is appreciated.

Seems a pretty good place, and a definite oppo for the big green one. Unfortunately, I doubt that there is ever any likelyhood of a Masters being within 100 km of here.

All up and running next week...maybe see some fine wooden results then?

Whichever way, the quantity is a lot of product per day, and as already said, would likely be a sybstantial capital investment.

Freebies once more...a veritab le treasure trove, thanks Crowie:2tsup:

:)Thanks Crowie

What browser do you use Bushy, Firefox or Internet Explorer?

Like the varying colours:)

Byb themselves without the skirt the feet would look ok, but the skirt adds a distinct "lumpiness" and harsh feeling at the bottom of the box.

The box/chest looks great otherwise:2tsup:

Haven't heard of them. They were first registered as a business in March of 2009 for what its worth.
