There have been some real nice cots posted by members in the past - sleigh cots, drop sides and swinging cots.

The WA and NZ cot guidelines can be found here...

My wife wanted a swingset etc for my daughter for Xmas - She told me it had to have:
- two swings
- a slide and a bar to swing from before using it
- a telescope
- steering wheel
- a gangplank...

I can't tell you what is in Napisan, but sodium percarbonate is a very common bleeching agent that is in common laundry bleeches and wooden deck cleaners. The main difference is the concentration -...

bit spooky thinking about yesterday, randomly checked out wikipedias home page - the picture of the day today is an old bassoon (mentioning some dating back to 1699)...
...

It's actually my wife's hot chocolate mug and she's had it since she was a girl. White china, with "Swanage - Made in England" on the bottom. Very sentimental...:C hence, can't really afford to...

Nice workplace - got to be great for your sanity.

Thanks guys.

Ruffly, I'm keen to see the shoe rack in use as well, so next time I'm at my bro's place I'll take a photo...:)

Finally the shoe rack and shelves - need painting or something, but since I hate painting I thought I'd leave that to my brother.

SWMBO made the cushion for the throne - looks great. I put it...

The gap around the frypan lid was filled with damp handy towels, and the steam kept the rimu from burning despite the fact that its on a gas stove.

I cut the rebate for the windows in the doors...

SWMBO took the little one to the ILs - I was told she wouldn't be back until all my jobs were done - pantry and cupboard for my Mum, window shelves in the bathroom, windows in the doors around the...

Can't recall a thread that has given me such a buzz. Great work.

Good on ya mate - nice design, and shedding a little bit of your own blood on it just makes it even more special. Good luck with parenthood too. There will be lots of ups and downs, but even when its...

Thanks guys. Yes, it is laminated ply. the body sections are vertical, then there is a 10 degree wedge running the length of the body to make the legs flare out, and the legs and muscle blocks attach...

At last it's done! Ended up getting the hair from a lady who organises wigs for dolls. It's lovely. Have made my own bridle etc from leather and brass, and will make the saddle when my daughter is...

I'm just wondering about the technique I should use when I hear the wood whispering - do I use the mallet to hit the wood, my head, or the damn foily that's obviously not working:confused:

Builders bog is not so good in doors, tends to break out over time, two pot epoxy gel is great though (used as a bog)

Thanks again everyone - my local spotlight sell eyes, but say they don't sell dolls hair. I'll find a sadlery today Rosethorn, and I'll keep your generous offer in mind Lignum.

Thanks everyone - I believe that there are quarantine issues with importing hair - especially if it is not on the hide.

Thanks for the Dew link Wongo - that'll go in my favourites - I'm working...

Making a small rocking horse. At the risk of offending purists, horses hair is a bit coarse for this little thing - does anyone know where you can buy dolls hair? I can order straight synthetic...

Here's one for all you persuade-o-interllectuals - Why are pirates calle pirates?


Well?


Aye?


Eh?

Hi Peter - I'm a bit slow these days. That's a great looking cot. I love the contrast between rimu and tawa. Very nice result. Cheers, Chris

Don't be shy...easier or better, always keen to learn http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon14.gif

Just got a DeWalt 735 Thicknesser for my 40th birthday.

Started it up yesterday and ran about 12 meters of 18mm pinus crapiata through it, and one piece of 45mm by 300mm wide ply and have the...

That stuff's only dangerous if it's recycled ;)

Hi Yeoman - nice bow.

I haven't spent much time on the forum lately - what kind of saw did you decide to go with? (Yeah, it was a long time ago, and you may have discussed it while I was away -...

Hi Wongo

That's as close to a rant as I've seen from you - your accent started to come out!

I'm with SilentC, the electrician accepted the responsibility of the installation, as far as I am...

every day I start a saw I think of it as a whirling blade of finger death, and imagine a braod red band that surrounds the blade - the place I don't put my fingers. Even so I have two friends who...

Real nice, http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon14.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon14.gif

It's all yours http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon14.gif

Sorry guys - have been busy lately. It's to be used on a router table with a round over bit, as BobL says - nice drawing of the router bit too, thanks. A screw through the centre of the wheel (on the...

Thanks for the positive vibes, everyone.

There are four chairs. I have some hand drawn plans and a couple of manufacturing photos I could post if anyone's interested.

Yes, the bendy ply is a...

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (before babies entered our lives... well actually 3 days after Charlie was born), Rick Rine posted a query about a router jig for rounding of wheels for...

My daughter is just over a year old now and is just learning to walk. I made this table and chairs for her - circular table, four chairs that fit in, to complete the cylinder. My own design. The...

and I thought I was good at maths, well done!

You did the right thing Groggy, much as it sucks. Often as not, these pricks are the bait for the other mongrels standing on the footpath waiting to wade in with a cheap shot. Pricks.

PAt...

Thanks TK

I took too long and SWMBO stepped in. Final word, hot coffee cups on the tops on Saturday mornings - she likes semi-gloss varnish, and breakfast in bed.

This is one in use.

Hey Dazzler

I was working in the Melbourne Commonwealth Games village and all of the admin buildings for the visiting countries were made up of sections that 12mx3m - designed to be able to...

Thanks for all the info - will do a search and have a read around, (I did do a search on "Tongue" here - didn't get anything immediately appropriate). Might be back with a few more q's soon. The more...

A friend of mine came around the other day and saw the bedside tables I'm making - recycled rimu. I was going to polyurethane them, but he suggested something called "Tongue Oil".:confused:

I...

I saw a bloke score a line down a sheet with a box cutter then rip it along the line - looked too easy to be true. Guess he didn't need the box cutter! Can't wait to give it a try...

I bought the Triton Power Plane attachment for the Work Centre. It holds the plane at 90 degrees to the table top, so it squares the edge of the board, similar (did I say similar) to a jointer....

You're right, it's exactly the same, only different!

Try Russian to 'Strine ;)

just cos the mailman dropped it off doesn't mean you should be judging others like that ;)

Something flash and small enough to be delivered - I'm guessing a darkside tool...with a sharp blade

Had my first touch of huon today! Smelt and felt a nice piece of pine - can't say I've lost my huon virginity though, 'til I've made some mess with it. :D

Can I just say, in support of the pro-searchers here, that, just on a whim you understand, I did a search on FUTTOCK - and, to my surprise, I FOUND IT - it was mentioned in a thread started in April...

That's classy stuff - I stand in awe!

Ok - I'll ask it...


What does Hijack mean?


Seriously... BM! Nice to see you hovering again! When did that happen?

If it was ages ago, I've got heaps of excuses - I've been sick,...

I bought an Irwin blade for my ryobi SCMS - got it home and found the bore was too large so took it back - turns out the bush was included, clipped in one corner of the packaging! Fitted perfectly.:o
