I think it really depends on what you're planning to make. I have the ML-392 and it works fine for most things that I want to do but the short planer tables mean I have to use auxiliary supports...

Welcome to the forum. I'm also a hills based sandgroper ;)

Our next meeting will be held on Monday 9 May 2016, at Perth Wood School located at 81 Abernethy Road, Belmont, commending at 7.00 pm and concluding by 9.00 pm. Doors open at 6.30 pm.

There will...

Mark, they're all good reasons for using those hinges. It's fair to say that they wouldn't have been my first choice because I do think they are ugly but I also like to learn from other peoples...

Nice work. Why did you choose those hinges?

Welcome

Looking good Derek

I had a similar issue with a Bosch router and it turned out that the collet was too large. Carbatech replaced the collet as it was still under warranty. That said, have you experienced the problem...

I use a Kakuri saw from Japanese Tools to cut recycled jarrah as well as soft woods. The blades are thicker than most Japanese saws I've seen and the saw works well. That said, I've also lost a...

Welcome mate. I think you'll find lots of good advice here. You might also want to consider checking out the WA Fine Wood Work Association - we have members of all skill levels

Welcome Gabe

Michael Fortune is teaching at the Perth Wood School for the next week or so and the Fine Wood Work Association has secured him as the speaker for this months meeting. Michael will be speaking on...

Welcome Jo

It was $26.50 inc gst. My blade is 3340mm long so yours might be a different price. Carbide Tools make them up for you so you'll need to contact them a couple of days beforehand. I've had mine...

I bought a 1/2" 3tpi blade from Carbide Tools in Landsdale. I've used it for resawing up to about 100mm and general cutting. I'm quite happy with the blade and the service I've received from them

I hate to say it but you may be. There are more variables at play in a bandsaw than a tablesaw. In my experience the quality of cut on a bandsaw is heavily dependent up the sharpness of the blade -...

I believe so but would need to check his articles to be certain

Check out Michael Fortunes articles in Fine Woodworking. From memory he typically uses a 1/2" 3tpi blade in his work

Michael Fortune has at least one article in Fine Woodworking that describes how he sets up his bandsaw. Having seen the results first hand I decided to use his method and have achieved much better...

Welcome

I don't know where you could buy one. Forgive the dumb question, but why not make one yourself?

I am using a bandsaw blade that I purchased through Carbide Tools in Landsdale. The blade works well and has been resharpened once by them tool. I tried them as an experiment and am planning to buy...

That's a very nice piece. Well done

Thanks for sharing Derek. I did something similar a week or so ago but didn't quite get the same result as you. More practice is needed.

This has been a very interesting thread. I think that the only thing that matters is whether you are happy to use the method you choose. I started with a honing guide which I still use, but I also...

Nice

Thanks for sharing Derek. I've read a fair bit of your website and learned a lot so I suspect you're right but I also learned a long time ago to "trust but verify" so I'll be doing a few tests to...

Very nice work

Thanks for sharing. I have been using at 25 degree secondary bevel on my low angle jack plane but based on your findings I will try a higher angle bevel and see if I get better results.

Beautiful just beautiful. Well done

That's a very nice book case. Well done

Seems like a challenging project Derek. Looking forward to seeing it as it progresses

Those are good looking planes Derek. I like the face lift

Nice work

Thanks for sharing. I'm planning on building some legs for some furniture using tapered laminations and have been pondering how best to prepare them. This thread has given me some more things to...

Looking forward to it

Welcome to the forum.

Nice work

Thanks John.

Looks like a good jig for cutting consistent veneers. Do you joint the cut side of the board between cuts?

Thanks for the additional info

Thanks for sharing the findings of your research. Did you look into whether the age and/or moisture content of the Jarrah had any effect on the longevity of the PVA glue joint? If so, what did you...

I would give them a miss on principle but I'm not a Japanese chisel user and may be missing something.

Welcome to the forum

Me three ;) Its worthwhile coming down to check it out. Michael Fortune is doing the presentation/lecture at the first meeting of 2014 (Feb)

Two excellent reasons. Congrats on getting 3rd.

Welcome to the forum. I too live in Perth but up in the hills

Let me try that one again :)

I was fortunate to attend the Garrett Hack cabinet course in Perth recently and he showed us how to make a very simple scratch stock. I've used it to put a bead in...

That's a nice looking scratch block. I was fortunate to be able to attend the Garrett Hack cabinet course n Perth recently
