Welcome to the "Rat Pack" :)

A handy tip - the best way to see if a square is square is to put a sheet of paper at the edge of a desk and tape it down. Then place your square against the edge of...

Exactly why I steered clear of flakes myself. Got a "plain Jane" light grey - stuff stands out quite well on that.

Only thought I'd throw in at this point is that if you're going to get a quote *now* for timber framing materials, trusses and the like, be aware you're not dealing with "normal" prices.

I'm sure...

Absolutely fine Mike, and suspected that might be the case! Happy posting - but I'm worried as to why you're clearing out the shop, are you calling it quits or moving/downsizing? :(

If the Forstner bits don't sell, may I be next in line please? (I understand they're spoken for by ScotiaWall)

I had the same space (area) done for under $2000 in epoxy by a professional supplier. Two coats of colour, two coats on Poly (an extra one above normai at my request). Dig up my build thread in...

Could I just volunteer the impression, based on the drawings in green and red showing the locations of legs, that the desk in use will tip toward the back corner where you intend to mount your...

Also, in Berlin, you have Dieter Schmid's site: Dieter Schmid Fine Tools

Thanks for the "heads up" - I wasn't aware these were available at that price - I could have sworn they were more expensive last time I looked... then again, I'm not getting younger, and the brain...

I have tried to put a direct link here, but it won't work as it'll ask for a login.

That aside, I looked up your tool on EKat.

Perth to "South Oz" doesn't give enough information for a price.

Here's what I would do:

For gluing, I use a silicone brush... been going on the same one for ages, because the glue dries, you peel it off, and go again.

Thank you to all for the discussion to date - there is much good information in here!

I've just done a quick bit of googling around, and have seem to come across the fact that the Wynn...

Yes, I have rejigged my layout, and the original office is giving way to a hand-tool room, with the larger, original space now dedicated as a machine shop.

Layout for that has been redesigned...

Exactly what I was thinking. Preferably with an older (but sharp) blade, and slow speed to avoid heat/rubber melting/buggering up the bandsaw blade

I am sure I am missing something, but I wish to double check please - when you hold the Festool track and rail square on a panel of timber you have purchased, and align the rail square against the...

Thanks Chris and Bob for the answers, it's much appreciated.

Chris, needless to say the highlighted quote above is something that is news to me - am I right in interpreting this to mean ClearVue...

It's a duplicate of this thread here: Luna W 59 Woodworking combination user manual

The manual doesn't contain clear enough pictures to fulfil the users needs.

Welcome to the forums - they're a wealth of information, but if you're not familiar with the layout and where everything is, easy to miss stuff.

Having used a Parf guide to lay out a couple of tops, I would have thought that this method might not be accurate enough if the intended use of the top is to be able to cut accurately at 90 degrees,...

The attachment is still present and can be downloaded - I'm hoping this is the right unit?

I notice your drill press is between the Toolbox and something else (apologies, cannot read the label).

This might be a bit painful if you have a large piece to drill into? Perhaps consider...

Agree with the above. The "aim low" attitude of many Australian retailers has had me gradually put company after company on my "Do not deal with" list.

Probably quite correct, but I didn't want to take a chance on minor settling/movement bowing out a wall panel. It still looks OK in my opinion, so I'm happy with the end result (note, the photo...

Chris, I will say at the outset that I haven't bought any of this stuff, but I have seen it and it appears to be good stuff... but please check it carefully before buying: Architectural Birch Plywood...

I've also got a question to add to this thread if I may?

See? Told ya I could be barking up the wrong tree. I didn't realise it was non linear :(

You can get a version of these that suit 70mm framing. But naturally, their thermal and acoustic performance is reduced accordingly. I don't have figures for acoustic performance, but the thermal...

I'll try go through your post to give you some ideas on costs. Bear in mind prices now are not what they were then - my build began 2 years ago (what can I say, I'm time poor).

IMO if you cut the Insulshed, I don't think it'll be effective - it needs to be a continuous moisture barrier. Ours was installed by removing the external cladding, installing the Insulshed, and...

I can only tell you what we found when we pulled the plywood off inside our shed - and in our case too there was a considerable gap between the metal outside wall of the shed and the back side of the...

Yes. I'm building framing structure in mine for noise and thermal insulation, as well as having a solid structure to hang things off.



I would advise against this - if there is any...
