I was approached AGES ago about whether I would be interested in establishing a HowCast channel for Stu’s Shed, and recently I finally did just that.

The 900mm clamp is $A363 inc GST The 1220mm clamp is $A399 inc GST Both these prices include free delivery in Australia (I think I [...]

I was told about the use of ammonia to speed up the oxidation by Sitco, but haven’t had a chance to trial it at all (yet), and so I really didn’t have any idea of how fast the process was etc. The oxidation sends the Queen Ebony quickly to its fully black colouring. However, one [...]

I’m having some problems with the crosslinking of videos from the site that I have host them to this site, which is causing a bit of grief for me, and probably quite a bit for you as well, for which I am sorry if you have been experiencing it. I am trying to get the [...]

Episode 52 Frontline Interlocking Clamp Clamp Pricing: 900mm $363 inc GST, 1220mm $399 inc GST, both with free delivery in Oz. That is a lot cheaper than I realised!

I’m now booked onto a Furniture Making course at Ideal Tools over in Williamstown – the Hall Table course. I’d have liked to have done the chair course, but I am committed on (most) Saturdays, and I could make good use of a good looking hall table. Given some of the masterpieces that come out [...]
