Got to be better than the GMC router table! I'm quite tempted - I'm guessing it will take my Hitachi.

I have 3 made to measure suits made 17 years ago still going strong.

1 charcoal. 1 charcoal herringbone. I light charcoal chalkstripe.

Rule 1 Black suits look terrible - the stuff of salesmen,...

If a 14.4 would do, my local Bunnings is selling the Bosch Professional GSR for 200 bucks on sale (and would probably retail for more like 300) with other drills up to that 600 budget of yours. This...

I'd just use glue. You'd be surprised how strong it is with a good joint (or maybe even a butt joint). Maybe use small biscuits for alignment.

Seconded. I was in Total Tools in S Melbourne, and noticed there's actually a couple of models on sale - varying from 900w-1050w or more - around the 7in mark.

Andrew surpassed himself and delivered to my work in the CBD.

I had to carry them to the tramstop across KingsWay and on to Flinders for the train, luckily I missed the rushhour and didn't knock...

Paid 150bucks for a, as it's turned out, as new Hitachi. Very pleased indeed.

It is really appealing to me. So sturdy. I'm not even put off by the need for spanner adjustment of height adjustment.

The Metabo would be better hand held and easy to use.

Both second hand.

Metabo is huge, looks slick in action, curiously light.

Hitachi is smaller, but alot heavier - looks bomb-proof and very workmanlike in an appealing way.

Any thoughts?

got one.:2tsup:

Bloke moved a few doors down.

13hp MTD. 10 years old, but he's kept it well. He threw in the trailer too.

The joys!

Absolutely - reality check. It's not even equipment related - some of the discussion here can get quite arcane, let's face it, but it's rewarding none theless.

:DI've just made the acquaintance of a bloke at the local pre-creche. He's a stayathome Dad and spends his days over coffee with all the Mums...someone has to do it. Shy bloke, but I saw him with a...

You can have my GMC 71/4 inch Circ saw used twice. That might tell you something..(!)

PM me if interested.

Scored what I thought was a reasonable buy from Cashconvertors. (Yes I know:roll: ).

185mm Makita Circula saw for 60bucks, good condition - much better than my cheapo GMC.

Oops misread the title.

I'll get my coat.

Blue Gum.

Iian thanks mate. This mob is minutes from my joint and I never knew it was there. They are reasonably competent and priced so will be getting my custom for Tassie Oak and Jarrah.

Makita?

Thanks guys. Groggy- I''ve been made an offer of a second hand BJ already, and I'm going to put the 300 bucks towards a Domino.

I have seen Dewalts on Epay- they seem reasonably priced in some...

If I could justify 600 I could justify Domino. I can see that. I could see a use for a BJ where you align whilst the glue is wet, and perhaps here it might be beneficial.

Thanks guys - and thank...

As long as the fence is OK I would be happy. I can deal with torque.

I've got an acre. The amount I have to mow is only about half that so I push a 5hp Briggs & Stratton Victa but I'm clearing more and so am mowing more.

It does keep me fit, not so long ago I...

shame he lives 3 doors down(!)

I used a jointer and it killed my feet - to say nothing of my back - I was stood over it for at least an hour.:U

I alway made sure I selected the ''pink'' stuff when I saw it. Beautiful.

just around the corner. I'll check him out.

This morning, went to pick up the superjaws I won on Ebay last week with a modicum of excitement as tomorrow is the day I need to cut up fallen timber for firewood. The place is not even 500m from...

Despite waiting 1 year for a suitable and local set of Superjaws to come up, a far newer example came up 15mins down the road this week and I won with little competition and paid less than last...

saved me typing!

Just missed out on what would be the winning bid on Epay for a set of Superjaws - local around the corner to me - one of only 2 suitable in a year of waiting so sod it I'll buy one new.

I've...

I'll tell you something else - hardly a word is ever said in anger. (Unlike some other forums)

Most people are real gents (and ladies).

I find the collective wisdom and experience astonishing.

Thankyou. I removed the original photo as since the subject was breached, and there was speculation, it seemed the right thing to do

Shame- I do prefer the photo and it does flatter the model far...

Well, it was posted on the basis of its artistic merit - be assured that I would not have posted anything that would be of concern to anyone including my wife. The fact it is her nude back to me is...

No, but she's not the sort to worry - particularly as her ID is not established and she likes them both and shows most people. If I had second thoughts, I could get the mods to remove the picture.

There was a thread on recipes knocking around so we're not all against cooking.

Besides, many a bloke has won favour due to a well cooked meal.

Indeed - the copy is large so I suspect it was put in the too hard bucket.
I think the finished article has more detail.

I thought I'd kick this one off with something that was guaranteed to generate interest.

That's cheap. Mid 300 is what the Mk3 often go for. WC2000 seem to go for more but they might come with a lot of extras. (I'm not commenting on what the real value should be - but Triton seems to...

This week's purchases:
Annie's Lane Shiraz 2002 $15 special
SA Shiraz 2001 $15 special (given away by SWMBO to the midman that delivered our youngest)

Both on aged cellar release from Murphys....

It's like that I reckon. I'm sure I'd actually be better at that sort of thing.

For some while I have been meaning to avoid the new model at all costs. (I want to use it for chainsawing firewood too). Combination of lack of brace and pedigree.

OK - so near enough is good enough.:U I'm not implying that your solution is wrong - sometimes I expect or try for perfection and if I don't get it I wonder if there is an issue.
