If only I didn't live so far away...

After over 10 years in the woodworking wilderness (divorce, overseas postings etc) it's good to be back in the workshop. My parents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary earlier this year, so I...

Thanks Drillit but I'm going to have to let this one go. Over to Midnight Man

Hi Drillit
If you're within reasonable driving distance I'll take it. I'm near Bungendore and drive regularly to Sydney.

The Mujingfangs arrived safe and sound. Thanks for the comprehensive packaging!

Hi Helmut I'll take the remaining 2 Mujingfang off you. If someone else would like one I'm happy to take just one.

I'll take it

Hi Simon I have:
T7 with SG-250 stone and leather honing wheel
SP-650 stone grader x 2 (one is unused in box)
SVM-45 knife jig (unused in box)
TT-50 truing and dressing tool
US-105 Micro adjust...

Hi SimH I also have been thinking about selling my Tormek T7 with accessories. My parents live in Sydney and now restrictions are easing I was planning to visit early next month.

It was nice to meet you Brandon. I’m very happy with the beefwood - and the blackheart sassafras.

Will you'll take $20 per l/m if I take the lot off your hands? I plan to be in Melbourne the first weekend of march, so could pick up then if that works for you.

I'm in.

PM sent

I'll take it, thanks

If anyone from Canberra bought any timber at this auction, I'd be interested in a group pick up

I'll take this, thanks

I have my chisels and handles from the first and second batch and am itching to put them together. I also have an infill plane body from thumbsucker I am keen to start on. Alas, my long promised shed...

Apologies Ray
The missing word is 'mind'. Feel free to include one of the undersized chisels in my set. My woodworking's not accurate enough for 0.5mm to make a difference!

Ray
thanks for your work on this! I don't an undersized 4.5mm chisel in my set.

Fantastic work :2tsup:

Although safe, shellac is not the most robust finish out there and won't stand up to the rigours of baby teeth. UBeaut's Hard Shellac however does so very well. I made a cot that I finished with this...

I'd be very happy with the sheoak

Thanks for the suggestion. Will definitely look into it!

Bellyup, it's the density of the desert rosewood that got me interested in using it for a snare, but it doesn't look like it will be feasible, given the properties you describe.

Stopper, I have...

, Neil, Pacman and Groggy it was good to meet you on Friday. Happy I was able to help by imparting knowledge to two masses. Hope the crowds weren't too overwhelming on the weekend.

As far as...

, schedule looks fine, thanks for organising:2tsup:

I can stay until close on Friday if it helps.

One of my hobbies is making snare drums. I've made some out of jarrah, brass and have some nice African danta drying for my next batch. However, one wood I would love to try is desert rosewood...

Good on ya' . I normally go to the show first thing on Friday to grab some nice bits of wood before the weekend crowds. After that I could do any time. Happy to do the rest of Friday and a half...

Neil, also happy to do my bit but I won't be able to take on the coordination role. I can be flexible about dates and times.

As other have said, try before you buy. I tried Terry's shoulder planes at a Canberra Woodwork Show a few years ago and bought the 3/4", which has been getting lots of use.

Helmut

I'm more than happy with RayG's proposal and if you're making some shoulder plane blades, I'll have some. Given we're both Canberra based, I'd be happy to come and help in the production...

Some mighty fine spokeshaves made locally: HNT Gordon and Co Classic Plane Makers Australia

They give you a great feel for where and how you're cutting, and can double as a work of art.

Thanks for the feedback - hadn't even thought of the chamfering issue. Having done some research, it looks like zebrawood is not the easiest wood to use for veneering - especially on a round...

I have a maple ply snare drum shell that doesn't look particularly attractive (but sounds very nice). I also have this block of zebrawood that I picked up for $20 at a garage sale a few years ago,...

I'd prefer Option 1.

Option 1 for me as I ordered the blade for a HNT plane. If the group decides on Option 2 then please take me off this order as I don't have any other planes that would fit the blade.

By way of background I need to get a few additional/replacement blades for my Veritas planes (block, BUS, LAJ) and am wondering whether to get O1 or A2. Previous posters have indicated a Tormek would...

following our discussions last year, I've rigged up some rough and ready shooting boards (1x90o, 1x45o). I was in a hurry as I needed to make some picture frames etc I'd promised too long ago so...

Waiting for the glue to dry

Give in to the dark side

I'm having a break from sharpening

Waiting for inspiration

Plane socks never disappear

Helmut
my order's fine - thanks. Looking forward to February :2tsup:

I'll have one each of the 12.5, 35 and 45mm, with handle. Preference would be socket, but happy to go with the group's preference.

I'll take a set of 9mm skew chisels, with handles.
