As much as I find these type of people abhorrent, I think they should be allowed to speak. Then all these morons will be out in public for all to see rather than outlawing them and making them go...

I know a bloke who has a business removing this stuff from walls etc, as well as having the stuff to stop it happenning. Can't recall the name of the business but can find out tuesday if you want.

I've been away and have just read the posts. Better late than never.

If you lay down a decent tack about every 10mm, knock the slag off and then weld as per normal, you will find that the weld...

Bought (actually the swmbo) a Phillips lcd yesterday. More than happy with the result. Can't comment about plasma. BTW we dont do gaming and rarely watch movies. Only got it because the old...

Had one for about 2 years and they have saved me heaps of time. They are a pita to get right as the design of them is a bit on the economical side. Where the vertical bits are attached to the...

Go west people, go west. Forget the house prices the land of opportunity exists on the opposite side of this wonderful continent. The only people out of work are those that dont want to. The money...

I read that you are/have glued up, anyway my 2c worth. 2 pack epoxy does not creep, pva etc does. It is not the miniscule amount of movement per se that is the problem it is its effect on the...

There are many reasons why tradesman are not being trained up. Over here (WA) the CCI (chamber commerce & industry) actively campaigned for the deskilling of industry so that skilled tradesmen...

The principal of our Junior school cannot officially teach in a classroom after the end of this month. Why? WACOT - the official teacher registration organisation in WA, does not recognise her 33...

Only ever done jarrah. The bark will fall off some logs by just looking at it, others need to be cut off slice by slice - PITA. We used a very sharp axe that had polished faces and used this axe...

Well said everyone! As I said before, and before, the state system has enough money, it is how they use it. Just take a walk into silver city (ed dept headquarters in perth) and you will see what I...

Ditto Ashore. I always support my local people, cause if you don't, they will fold and then you have no choice. Still can't believe Rimmer though, what was he thinking. Probably works on the...

Why bother! Unless the Chinese, Indians, Yanks, Europeans et al get on board we are just P#ssing in the wind. We (Aussies) can all reject electricity, automobiles and anything else that generates...

Yes BL, I can see that you are passionate about this subject. I tend to be a bit more ambivilant.

We will never agree on the tax thing so we can leave it there.

Parents send their kids to PS...

I said gov funding. State gov ed funds go almost entirely to state schools. As I said before, private school parents subsidise state schools - through the tax system. Don't get me wrong, I think...

Luv these threads. Schools reflect society, believe it or not! The system was put in place so that the premier universities could pick the top 5 or so % of students and to bugger the rest. Not...

Every saw is safe, as is every tool. Just us idiots using them makes them dangerous.

1. Never use the saw without a riving knife and guard , this is a yank thing not to.

2. Draw a line (with...

Change jobs. No job is worth it to put up with sh?t like that. Your mental health needs to be looked after, no one has got the right to mess with your head. Staying there and fighting them wont...

Like Timmo mine went undiagnosed by several doctors. When a doc finally said you got the gout I spent heaps of time researching and going to several more docs and picking thier brains. The...

Can't remember how or why I found this, but it explains M A N Y things that belong to the secret societies - http://www.fao.org/docrep/S1250E/S1250E00.htm#Contents

It comes from the UN - and is...

i'm curious as to wether it's a decent saw for the price. I've had a makita for about 15 years and its still going strong. Should I buy this as a backstop for when the makita calls it quits.

Hills Industries are clearing out all their old Triton stuff and they had these saws out for 255 bucks. They had factory seconds written on the side but the bloke said that is there just so they can...

Well done Hagrid for making it as far as you have, the light at the end of the long tunnel must be getting brighter by the day. I still have memories of those less than useful units of ed theory. ...

Jarrah has only the good side grooved. The guy at Gunns (what used to be Bunnies) assured me that groove down was only invented by some wan*er on a tv show. However... it does make some sense to go...

If using pva use a damp cloth as soon as you can, that means immediately, it is better to not put so much on. With other glues (2 packs etc) read the label to find out what removes unset glue,...

I did a similar job for a customer. I'd never done it before but had a bash anyway, did it out of recycled jarrah and the doors weighed a ton but came up a treat - then the customer painted them ......

I agree - 6' means something but 1.83m doesn't, but I'll still do all the calculations in metric. And.... our standard notation is metres and grams, as these are the base units, anything else is...

After this years Perth show I wont be going again. Nothing new, same old same old. I did post something about this so I wont go into it again. I was surprised to see the cost to put up a stand,...

Did the same early on in my teacher life. Gave the kids the big lecture etc about using machines and then wondered why it smoked so much - the kids still cut crapiata for the whole period before I...

Engineers have had a field day with this subject. Try not to get to involved in the technical aspects of angles, remember, your standard twist drill is a severe compromise but heavily biased towards...

This has nothing to do with the mumbo jumbo above - no offence intended, it IS important, electricity kills - I read some articles some years ago where a high quality furniture manufacturer wanted...

any saw doctor, look in the yellow pages.

I must agree with Bodgy, My timbecon 14'' is a POS. I dunno what's good but this one aint.

I'm a retired manual arts (D&T or T&E depending on your location) teacher and I can recommend either machine. The Festo rotax machine is a better way to go if you can afford the bucks. You can buy...

Sh.ts me payin for the stuff that these wan..rs create just so they can charge you to fix it (nortons etc). I use zone alarm pro and have had no problems whatso ever, and , jeez I download huge...

As I posted before, GOOGLE. The site where I saw the VW wheels was pretty good. Lets face it, 2 wheels connected to a motor, how hard can it be? Look at all the rubbish that sells for $600 and I...

There is a company that sells laquer products under the brand name mirotone. These are very good products and would more than likely compatible with other laquer products, although a small test...

Try googling it. There are a ton of sites, mostly US, covering this. Makes for interesting reading. A good one is using VW wheels!

Thanks for the feedback, I couldn't agree more. I was intending to go on saturday to meet other members, and up until thursday was still planning this way- then the weekend was shot down by kids...

Yes Derek, I found little of personal interest, I should of made that clear.

There was lots of timber, although I didn't think there was much more than last year, and most of the timber did...

Just came back from the show. I can't say I was impressed, as a matter of fact it was terrible. There was some nice furniture and stuff but that was it. Take out the orange shop and the balcatta...

Took the wifes new Hyundai elantra - the one with all the stuff auto etc- down to the bush and back today. On the way there sitting on 120 it got 7.1l/100k and that was with a howling tail wind...

West system or techni glue - both are excellent products (they probably come out of the same factory). Both can be specified with different set times. Go for the longer time if you live in the...

I bought the carbatec one and it is OK but I have trouble getting the drum parallel to the platern. The bloody $^@#^&%$ chinese instructions are clear as mud, as usual. I am considering making the...

This is a good solid machine, and was pointed out, it is in a school. The 3 phase is easy to get around as for the lack of tilt on the saw, how often do you need that? By the way, the fence tilts.

It depends on the gap.... I use pva mixed with very fine dust (like that you get from 180+ paper) that is collected from the board that I'm working on. The problem with all fillers is the staining...

Many years ago I use to split fence posts from jarrah trees (I shudder now at the timber I wasted). I used steel wedges and a 14lb sledge hammer. After a while you could "read" the log and...

If I knew where to be at what time I would hope to be there, Saturday would be good - golf and birthday Sunday.

Hiya bookend Graeme,

Whadda ya mean compare to Perth price!!! I couldn't find any green sawn for love or money that was worth talking about. Now down to price....

From memory it was about...

I went to a small mill outside Collie a while back. I think it was called "Saunders" or something like that. They were easy to deal with and the quality was excellent. Their 100x25 was actually...
