Hi all,

I started out wanting to replace a few rotten boards (pine), then decided to reap out all the decking boards as they all have some signs of rotten. Then decided to replace a few joists...

Its my first work bench and I already picked a few things I could improve on.

The top is laminated beams which I glued together. They are well seasoned and coated top and bottom so I assume...

What's the right size BS for splitting 4x2 in halves (into 2x2), decent brands, second hand options, teeth per inches and second hand prices? I assume a decent one less than 10 years old is still ok.

6 inches. I have Stanley no 4, 6, 7 and couple of wooden ones.

The blade is approx 8 inches I think.

Yes I do a bit of re-sawing, splitting bigger timber into smaller bits. Most my lumber are bought in rough sawn form.

Hi,
I'm new into woodworking and have been doing most things by hand. Sawing tenons, chiselling mortises and hand planing. I've got a sliding drop saw which I build a miter station and a combination...

I use Chinese and Japanese finishing planes as I find them to cope better with tear outs than Stanley's. Althought I like my no 7 for flattening boards. Interesting to serious hand tool users. I know...

You can use butterfly pegs which will stop the cracks from developing further. Getting the top flat will be fun with a full slab, hence I use laminated pine for that. Are you putting a vice...

Thanks Adam Ant

Thanks guys!

Yes, I have looked up a lot of youtube on sharpening and I think I got my chisels pretty sharp. I only have one set and couple of hand planes, so I guess I was just frustrated with...

Hi all,

I have been reading this forum and the renovators forum for a couple of years now and it has been very informative so thanks everyone.

Lately I have been trying to get into woodworking...

Thanks guys. The reason I don't want to screw them from the top is dirt, water will get into the holes. My plan is to screw from the bottom via another decking board so we're talking about 19mm +...

Hi, I have a few spare hardwood decking boards and is thinking about making an outdoor table.

But unlike an outdoor table, I want to screw them from the underside to achieve a cleaner look.
But...

I don't want to hijack the thread but I have a pedestal drill press and wondering if there is any way of setting it up so its fully vertical/plum. I want to use it to drill dowel holes. Any tips on...

I finally got it all set up (I think).

This ancient thing of a jointer is so annoying to set up. First the in feed deck is not adjustable other than its height (both the saw and planer uses the...

Thanks. I haven't been downstairs yet after the frustrations of the day. Over dinner, I was thinking (rare). In my case, the out feed is lower than the in feed. It's all wrong. I don't have a manual...

Hi,

I recently bought a second hand Artesian combination planer / saw. Its a small machine only 700 x 800 and the saw and planer works on single axle. The reason I bought it, is after reading up...

Thanks mate.

If I have space, I would prefer the older machines which is more solid but I need to be able to wheel in and out from bottom of the house so portability is a must for me. Just...

Hi All,

Thanks for the responses to my Rexon query.

I'm still in the hunt for a planer/thicknesser. I've finally finished the front deck of a Queenslander so will be moving onto making more...

what do you mean?

Hi
i cant seem to find any info on a Rexon Thicknesser/jointer combo machine. just wanting some advice if they are any good.
Comments? Recommendations?

- Ease of use
- Reliably
- Spare...

Thanks. Looks like I need both. Which means I should save up some more. I saw a Ozito thicknesser but don't really want to go down that road...

I can see myself buying mostly DAR but not entirely...

Hi,

i'm looking at a thicknesser and a jointer/planer? deal world, I'll get both but budget only lets me one. What is more useful for woodworking?

My understanding:

Thicknesser - can be...

sorry for my lack of knowledge, are you guys talking about the Triton MK3?

Hello everyone,
Thought I'll introduce myself. I'm Bailey from Brisbane. Just started woodworking (my old man is a builder/chippie, so I'm around woodwork/construction all my life). Just finished...
