Item is now sold. Thanks

From a collection of timber from Northern Tasmania I am selling this on behalf of the owner. I believe it is blackwood but I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.The sizes are as shown on...

I will take it. PM sent.
Thanks,
Russ

No it is definitely a 16.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had a Hafco BP-16 bandsaw? I am looking for a manual or some photos of the upper guide setup.
Hare & Forbes don't have any spare parts of it any more so I was looking...

Oh no! You are using the Landrover No 1 tool for something else. Well done.

Yes there has definitely been mods done before I acquired it.
The tightness seems to be where the Quill goes in and if I insert a wedge in the slot at the top it moves freely. The problem with that...

Hi Michael G,
Thanks for the reply.
Here are a couple of photos that may make it a bit clearer.
Cheers,
Russ

Hi Graeme,
It is parallel. The morse taper is machined into the the end of the quill. It is where the quill fit into the casting that I need to "ease"

I do have a couple of adjustable reamers but...

Hi Guys,
Is there anyone in the Brisbane area that has the capability to ream out the tailstock on my Jet Wood lathe. The size of the hole is 1 3/8 inch. A Po gave it a hard life and it needs a bit...

Thanks for the advice guys. I will give it a try.

Cheers,
Russ

Bother. i am not home till late on Wednesday.

Thanks for the offer .

Guys,
I am looking for some help. I have this great little piece of Gidgee that I am trying to make a small bowl from.

the problem I am having is finishing it. I am getting small tears in the...

I have one of the Gen 2 chucks and have found it to be most satisfactory. I would buy another one.

Russ

I would like to echo the sentiments above. Thanks for organising us rabble.

Seriously though I had a good time and it was great to meet some of the guys and girls in person and to put a face to a...

I just found out Saturday is out for me. Sunday is OK though.

Russ

Saturday or Sunday would be fine for me.

Russ

Pity you are not in Brisbane. I have a single phase motor off a delta which I thing would probably fit. It has all the wiring and switch already connected.
It has a 5/8 inch shaft on it.
Google...

Hi Joe,
The parts of the pulleys have totally disintegrated. Only one half of the two pulleys remains intact.

Russ

I picked up a Delta 46-715 lathe off Ebay recently mainly for the Banjo and tool post and Steady. These were worth what I paid for the lathe.

When I pulled it down all that is wrong with it is...

Johno,
What size is the thread on your lathe spindle? Someone might have a faceplate lying around but we need the thread size and number of threads per inch.

Does your lathe have a brand and...

Outstanding Peter. Nice smell turnibg it as well.

Keep them coming,

Cheers,
Russ

Well Troy that is a bit different to what it started out as.
I am sure you will do justice to some of that stuff.
You could always put what you don't want back and keep it rolling. (Just joking)
...

Simply outstanding! You should be proud of that effort.

Cheers,
Russ

Yep totally agree. Nice to turn. Very dense and finishes extremely well. Need sharp tools though.

Grab it!

Russ

Yes it certainly has Rippa. There was none of those items in it when it went through here.
It has been part of the fun to see what comes out as it goes around.
I reckon by the time it gets back to...

Scott,
It breaks your heart to see that happen to anyone.

If there is anything we can do to help just yell out. We have been fortunate to not have any impact where we are.

Cheers,
Russ

Nice work Corbs.

Here it would not get past Quality Control either. She would have it very quickly.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
Russ

Well at last I have had some time to have a crack at some of the treasure.

In the first one from the Top down

Mango (not from Swap)
Burdekin Plum
Dead Finish Lancewood
Redwood Burl

I...

Nice to see you get the clearance Ian.
No one likes to see any woodie out of action.
Happy turning.

Cheers,
Russ

My Wife and i just came back from Northwest of Tasmania and this is what I was able to retrieve from a couple of woodpiles. They burn it!!!!

The first two images are the woodheap stuff. The large...

It is one of my favourite timbers for pens. I love it. Well done.

Russ:)

The contents of the box sure have changed since it was here.:)
That is a nice collection there David.

Cheers,
Russ

Imagine if it got Frequent Flyer miles. It could go a few for free.

Maybe we should just keep it going round and round.
I was one of the early ones to get it and was amazed to see what it contained.

Might be worth starting another one off for anyone who missed...

One golden rule I have is that SWMBO gets first choice on any pens I make, She currently has a stunning Mallee Burl slimline which I would have kept for myself.

At least that way I don't get...

Hey Rog,
Are you still above high tide?

With all the rain we have in the last few days the bay must have filled up a bit.

CHeers,
Russ

Do you all think we should send out a search party for Rog. He has been very quiet since he was going to pick up his parcel.
Perhaps he has been too busy in the shed.

Just in case you are all wondering.
It finally made it over the Nullabor. Now on its way to Islander I believe.

Cheers,
Russ

That makes it even better. Top work!:2tsup::2tsup:

HazzaB,
I didn't think my spelling was that bad. Maybe you guys should get together while it is over there.
How come neither of those places end in "up"?
Seriously, a great place to be. I loved...

My son made a surfboard out of it. (Well actually I did most of the work). Seems to be OK
Timber is very light and I found it pretty good to work with.

Cheers,
Russ

Ah, the universal currency. Always semms to work well eh Pig?

Cheers,
Russ

Nice piece of wood Benchie. Great job.

Fancy having trees just up the road - drool.

I could't resist a bit of Olive Root from the mystery box.
Cheers,
Russ

Its all packed up and will be in the post in the morning. On the way to Busselton WA.
The box is too small to fit everything in.

Cheers,
Russ

Here is what I have taken out. Don't worry there is plenty more good stuff.
From the top down.
Euculyptis Burl
Californian Redwood Burl
Ambonya Burl *RARE*
Burdekin Plum
Dead Finish Red...

Postie dropped it in tonight.
Tougher decision than Windsor and Oakshot but I won't draw it out like they did.
You will not be disappointed i can assure you.
I will post photo later of what i keep...

It is on it way to me. That means NSW or WA or Tassie are a good chance to be next.
Cheers,
Russ

I am next on the list so back to Sunny Queensland. Can't wait.

Cheers,
Russ

Count me in.
