Looking good:thumbup1: That's a nice piece of timber behind your cabinet in the 5th photo.

Does the motor turn the right direction so that the thread will automatically tighten when running? I assume that bush you refer to is attached to the bottom of the motor shaft and the thread is...

The Black Cherry almost looks like someone's welding practice.:wink: Very effective.

Your photos have been turned into links for me but they don't work. The Youtube link works okay.

Those dovetails look good. Lot of work there.:sweatdrop:

Very nice colour combination.

This is what I did with my Carbatec 6 inch Jointer and have never regretted it. Simple job to change it out and you don't have to be over cautious in what you put over the cutter as the carbide holds...

I am always very wary not to run a router without a bit in it. I am always concerned that it will either spin the nut off when slowing down or with the sudden start over tighten and damage the collet...

It is normal for the mitre gauge bar to be shallower than the mitre slot so there is nothing wrong there. On my tablesaw there is a lead in chamfer on the front edge of the table so when pushing the...

Some nice looking Rimu there. Most of what I have seen is pretty plain but that looks to have a lot of character.

I don't envy all your rain. We have had a beautiful summer here with most days in the mid 20's up to low 30's and just the right amount of rain. Hopefully it dries out soon and you can get your...

Can't argue with your opinion of the Huon Pine lid. It's one of my favorite timbers especially when its got some features in it and the smell makes it so nice to work with. Having said that, all the...

Nice rustic look. Perhaps you should try making a box from this old wharf timber. The holes are about 10mm dia and looks quite unique when the timber is ripped to expose the holes and then made into...

I have received all the missing issues including Shops & Tools now and got the 6 month extension of my subscription along the way. Might have been slow but they got there in the end.

I think they have just accidently put the decimal point in the wrong spot because if you look at the 3 that have been sold they sold for $79.00, or they have done what pippin88 said.

Maybe BobL can help you out as he was looking some time ago in this thread

I don't know anything about the Bosch you have pictured but I find that sanders with the high centre of gravity and small disc diameter tiring to use and restrictive by how you have to hold them. If...

You are certainly putting a big effort into these resin boxes striving for that ultimate finish. Seems to be paying off but I hope you are getting well compensated in your sales price, or are you...

I remember coming to your house for a woodies get together some years ago when Neil (dai sensei) was doing his trip around Australia. It was a great day to meet you and a number of other forum...

You can't edit it yourself once it is over 24 hrs old, only an admin can do that. You can just reply to your own thread if you just want to add some more detail or clarify something.
Hopefully one...

I had a Blackridge 50L direct drive that I brought from Supercheap many years ago but like you, I wanted something now that was a lot quieter. I gave the Blackridge to my son and brought one of...

The other thing to make sure of is that the drill is very sharp and good quality. If the drill has been used previously for drilling steel it may have lost that super sharp cutting edge and will need...

Welcome Ween. Good to see you striving to perform the finer skills of woodworking rather than just settling for slapping something together. Now you have your work area you will be able to set it up...

Welcome to the forum James. I had no idea where Hillwood was until I looked it up on Google maps. Are you one the river or further inland?
Must be a nice feeling having that new shed to set up. It...

Not sure why you need a taper lock as the manual attached to this thread just shows a key and nut holding the pulley on. I believe they were Carbatec's version of the Delta 22-590 but they also don't...

Here you go but the picture looks a lot different to what they are really like, unless they have redesigned them since I got mine.

The 150mm ones are readily available at the big green shed and usually come in a 4 pack for less than $30. I also have what Irwin call a micro clamp which is only around 100mm opening but they are...

As in the Quick Grip style?

Yes I brought one from them for my MOF001 quite a few years ago and I haven't had a problem since. I was hesitant to replace the controller as some people had replaced theirs and their router played...

I don't know anything about that table and from the pictures it looks like a free standing one, is that right?
Have you considered a bench top unit like this for just a little more assuming you...

Welcome to the forum Richard. Is this your brother?
I don't know anything about the Durden Pacemaker but looking at the photo they don't have a lot of support on the left of the blade for sheet type...

I don't know what the dimensions should be for the compartments but the pillows are readily available on Ebay.
Here are 2 types at a quick search and both available in Aus.
Pillow cushion
Bracelet...

I also use the Traditional Wax to coat all my CI surfaces that I use on a regular basis and it lasts a couple of months before I need to do it again. Makes a nice slippery surface and resists rust...

This looks like it could be a good buy and in your area.

That's a terrible problem you have with all that Huon getting in your way:roflmao: Glad you were able to source some tees and make progress instead of having to wait till next time you're there....

Usually reversible drills have a screw down the centre with a lefthand thread. This prevents the chuck coming undone when in reverse. Just remove the screw and you should be able to unscrew the chuck...

Did you ever get this resolved and are you able to disclose what your issue was?

Enjoy the retirement, it's a great life. I officially retired 12 months ago after using up 6 months of leave. Like you, I spent my working life with the one employer for 45 years after completing my...

Did you have any luck contacting Jordy? I see he was on the day we were discussing this.

I think most of us have a bit of that, just some more than others.
Your shed looks to be in a nice rural location, certainly not Melbourne as your location says.

That's a lot of timber stored in there, do you have a purpose for it all?
Nothing worse than getting something wrong this time of year and can't do anything about it.

I don't know if this thread will give you any leads.

The inserts might be the same as these which are a bit of a rarity with the 37° angle as most inserts are 30°. Those are the same as what is used in the Sherwood Spiral head Thicknesser and Timbecon...

Who had the most fun?:U

Another couple of beautiful boxes Paul. I'm surprised you say the Walnut is very hard as any that I have used has been a pleasure to machine. Must harden with age does it?
What are the timbers in...

Seems like it is reasonably easy to get the centres to line up but during the process you could also get the centreline of the headstock out of parallel with the bed if you are not familiar with what...

I usually use the medium CA to glue tubes in as it fills any gaps a bit better than thin and it also takes a little longer to go off. If your tube is a tight fit in the blank, sometimes the thin will...

Nicely made batch of pens. The only one that we can get locally is the cat pen and I made one of those for my wife just recently as she loves cats.

Have you opened up the box that houses the laser and checked that nothing has detached itself or is loose enough that it has moved?

Received my order today. Tried one insert in just to make sure all was okay and it fitted perfectly. It also measures up exactly the same as the original.
Great service, only took 8 days from order...
