Hi,
I have a few small log that are small enough to lift manually ( still heavy) that I want to slab into 50mm slabs to make it easier to transport.
Does anyone know where in the Melbourne area...

Cigar boxes usually come with a veneer of Spanish cedar between and on top of the cigars. The size of the tobacco area of the box could be lined with the veneers as well as the lid.
I have a few of...

This is not criticism to your work, but for tobacco ideal timber on the inside should be Spanish cedar; it holds the humidity at the right level to keep tobacco from going stale. This is what is used...

Not the sharpest tool in the shed:winksmiley02:
Gotta keep your wits about you when using sharpies.

I am trying to source some spanish cedar to make my son a cigar humidor, I have a thread in auctions (Why?) as a thread in "Timber " sub forum is "not on" .
The sizes I am after are around 250 wide...

Is there anyone that has some Spanish cedar they are willing to part with? I am planning to make my son a cigar humidor and this is supposed to be "the timber" to use to help control the humidity...

Thanks for the reply Chris,
I went back to the site and downloaded the files I wanted; worked for me this time.
I found out that I didn't need to buy the stuff from the UK afterall as the mounting...

I ended up with a RSA300 stand for a dedicated router top; it has caused me grief trying to make it happen.
Firstly I picked up a RTA top with it although parts were missing to attach the router so...

I said the same thing once when I was younger to a smartassed arch detec:~

How do you go about making this, Artful?

Thanks,
Mark

I got a call today from a person who said they had some Huon pine for sale; I got a photo on the phone of a pile around a ton of cut timber stacked but it is weathered and I can't tell from the photo...

Thanks for the info, as far stabilizing; the timber is not going to be sitting in water for extended periods but the cactus juice sounds interesting got more info you are willing to part with?:;

I have just picked up a lathe and have turned a couple of reel seat for fly rods; at the moment I will be using it mainly for this sort of thing and was looking for some advice on chisels suitable...

Oops I noticed that in the background you can still see the possible colour changes my wife has planned for the walls:B:C

Don't want to hijack your work, this is the coffee and dining tables I made after carrying around the legs for 20+ years.
Jarrah leg base and Blackheart Sassafrass...

Looks good so far; the scalopping is nice.
I finished a dining table and matching coffee table last year; I had the legs turned when my son was born. He has turned 27 now!:o I hope it doesn't take...

How is the ark coming on Thomen? I haven't seen anything posted
Have you got it sussed?

Mark

It has come up a treat! You must be feeling good about it.
Well done! From start to finish.

Great tip Corin,
Great to watch, looks easy; after a couple of hundred I suppose.
Thanks for sharing,
Mark

I'm looking forward to see this completed:D:D.
By the end of this project Thomen You will be able to do anything, from any set of drawings:U
I hope it all comes together for you at the end.

I have made some dowels in the past for a jarrah and blackheart sassafras dining and coffee table. Same as you couldn't find any jarrah dowels (10mm) so made some using a router and a 10mm...

That is impressive bit of work. I just picked up a lathe recently and still haven't got around to setting it up as of yet. Your workbench for the lathe is so good I might have to implement them as...

The yellow tongue would ba the way to go. It can last for over 3 months in the rain( it rains down here). I would probably go with 300 centers for supporting points with the weight you plan. It is...

Info wanted. I am making a couple of tops for fly tying/rod building and wanted to show out the oregon laminated tops I've put together, I thought I'd try Boiled Linseed Oil but before I do I wanted...

Bill,
I reckon you should have bought all the toys before you retired:U.

The first bench I glued up was rough sawn oregon; as a result of not smoothing the gluing surfaces there was not a very good glue joint eg; a lot of daylight through the joints. I'm resigned to...

More problems! I started glueing up a couple of benches as a tryout for my workbench. This was for a fly tying bench I used some oregon; one I ran through the thicknesser and one I left rough sawn,...

Thanks for the heads up on blackwood, I have enough for the three vises.
$80 for the 1 1/2" is better than 1200 for 2" that's out of my range.
Cheers,
Mark

Thanks for the replies,
I'll probably go with the carba-tec as its $80 for the 1 1/2" kit I suppose it should be adequate. I wanted to make 2 bench vises and a tail vice, then later use it for a...

Other than Carba does anyone know where I could purchase a screw cutter? I wanted a 2" by 5tpi wood screw and thread.
Thanks,
Mark

I have decided on a bench top height of 1030.
Now that the decision has been made I'll have to go fishing for a couple of weeks to relieve the stress of all that:U
I'll get back and start on the...

It seems that it depends on what work I'm intending to do on this bench, and physical issues. As my lower back is not as good as it use to be when I was a younger man; I'll probably opt for a...

I've been lurking in the shadows of the forum and different threads; and I'm comming out!
I have the time and wanted to get my shed happening starting with a decent workbench, having worked on...

I had similar problems with the first being that the timber was not square; and my solution was to make a sled for a router then chock the slab with wedges and using a large planing router bit run...

Hi I'm new to the forum, so I'm not sure if this has been addressed before.
I have had the mk3 for alittle while and still learning to use it properly.
