Found one thanks guys

Hi WWF,

I am looking for a compact panel saw with a 1600 - 2000mm slider.

I have found the Hammer K3 and SCM Minimax SC2 seem very capable however I was wondering if there were any other...

Anyone know what a good second hand one would go for?

I bought mine from vacupress in the USA because at the time it was cheaper

Hi Section1,

I love the design and suspect some on this forum may copy it as it looks very useful. That leads me to my main reason for replying as I also suspect this is not the best forum to...

The Makita track is great for the saw however it is not 100% compatible with the router attachments.

Called the store to arrange but they advised Festool only works on Festool. Couldn’t be bothered correcting him.

Found a 3m Makita track for $100 SH so left it at that

Its a great idea for all furniture Tonyz.

That said, I prefer to keep my workbench raw, that way I can give it a quick sand whenever it starts to look unhappy.

Keeping the top flat for 300 years is my key [emoji359] objective.

Thanks Graham but to scared to do that to the underside of such an expensive table top [emoji4]

Hi WWF,

I am building a traditional 4 leg dining table 3400 x 1100.

My intention is to use cross bracing every 500mm to attach the table top (using JCBs and insert bolts with elongated holes )...

Hi WWF,

I have a Laguna 14/12 and have snapped 2 blades in about the last 10 hours of operation. A cheap 1/2” one and an expensive resaw king.

Hi WWF,

I am trying to source some ironbark for some adirondack chairs I have been commissioned to make.

Looking for 90x19, 120x19 and 90x12

Anyone know any good suppliers in Brisbane?

Reckon there is only one other machine I use more than my SCMS and that would be my table saw.

Sanders excluded of course as they fall into the hand tools category

I tend to let the client organise and own delivery. That way my responsibility ends when it is loaded in the truck and the risk transfers to the client

Thanks again Camelot and especially for the drawings,

Slight correction to what you have above in terms of movement. Movement occurs more tangentially and radially (across the grain) and...

Yup, I reckon it was the water. Horrible stuff

Ive made a similar sized table with a 45mm table top with no rails at all and not had any issues with sag. It alarms me to hear you have had issues.

How thick was you table top? Are you rails...

Thanks Camelot,

I do like the lipping idea however I have always found that the gross grain expansion would result in the lipping coming loose and misaligned over time. Any tips on how you have...

Fantastic work on the dresser. Legs and rails look great.

I had considered just making the edges thicker..... Thought this might result in the construction process being significantly harder....

Thanks for the input Ian.

Glueing properties of SG are officially reported as Poor however I dont really know what that translates to in the real world.

I use Titebond III for everything as I...

As commical as it looks, this is actually the best push stick I have used.

Hi WWF,

I have been asked to build a large dining table ~3600mmx1100mm from spotted gum floor boards that are roughly 120mm wide and 19mm thick. The table design is just the standard 4 post...

Hi WWF,

I am looking for suppliers of reclaimed/recycled timber in Brisbane. Looking for hardwood up to 4+ metres in length.

I know of the Big Red Shed however are there any other suppliers...

Tested the insert screws from bunnings and the thread sheered straight off with 50kg of lateral force. Not bad but not good enough to move forward.

Reckon some better quality ones would do the...

Thanks for that however they only have one length in M8

Any suggestions on where to purchase the LAG screws and the threaded inserts?

The ones at Bunnings didnt review very well and are only M6

Useful site thanks Mobyturns.

I have taken from the site that rather then using the JCB bolts I should use a threaded insert bolt. I was initially thinking that I would need multiple bolts per leg...

I use Shannons as part of my general home and contents. As long as the tools are for hobby use there is no limit on what you can insure. I have gone so far as to register all of my expensive machines...

Hi WWF,

Does anyone have any experience with attaching angle table legs to a thick table top without any skirt, similar to what is depicted in the photo?

I am a Festool fan boy and just couldn’t justify the cost and lack of performance of their larger drills.

I purchased a new hammer drill and impact driver from Makita last week for 700ish and they...

No one wants to travel to the Gap?

Always plenty in Sydney and Melbourne, never Brisbane.
