Starting tomorrow will possibly be the most comprehensive eBay sale of the Triton range (and a few associated GMC power tools). Even some Triton spares, and where can you find those these days? Some of the items that will be for sale never made it to the shelves of Bunnings, so the range involved is [...]

And I always stuff up when I do. Been working on modifying the Pro Drill Press Table with the drawer unit that was demonstrated in the video drawing last week. I got SO close, but time was against me, and the final part of the project I wanted to finish was the drawer fronts. And [...]

I’ve been using Pelican cases for a while as an optimum solution for serious camera protection – watertight, impact resistant, and capable of sustaining serious abuse while protecting the equipment inside. They have a whole range of cases available, and have also been supplying a number of different designs to the military. One of these [...]

These are the resulting two pens from the evening. The pen on the left is again a Sierra, with a black acrylic body. I’ve had this pen blank for a couple of years, and hadn’t found a project to use it on, until I saw the black components of the Sierra, and that made it [...]

A few months ago I showed a shed colleague how to do the basics where it came to turning a wooden pen. I’m not much of a turner, but it was more the sorts of steps involved in creating the pen, rather than the ins and outs of turning itself. Since then, he’s been off [...]

Latest bits of info, and some seemingly conflicting. All deals fell through last Wednesday for the purchase of Triton – there were something like 3 offers on the table. All staff were laid off on Wednesday (although it seems like some were redundant for only a few minutes because:….) It seems that a consortium, including [...]

My phone told me so. This will be the first real test of my shed-constructing ability – wind, real wind. Starting sometime tonight Victoria is meant to be hit with strong winds, up to 150km/hr gusts which we are being warned will produce conditions not dissimilar to those of a couple of weeks ago, resulting [...]

Flicking through the latest Aldi catalogue, and you could be mistaken thinking you were reading one from Bunnings (except it had photos, rather than penned line drawings of the products) A router, router table w featherboards, router bits, biscuit joiner, vice, a torch suspiciously like the large 5,000,000 candle power GMC ones (but with a [...]

In the past I’ve only ever used slimline pen kits for turning pens (and pencils), but I’ve been planning on trying some different styles. I bought some at the Melbourne Wood Show last year, and again at the open day over the weekend I picked up another couple to try. Unusually for me, I didn’t [...]
