Microclene is Indahouse

Had Steve from Microclene visit today, and we spent a few hours chewing the fat about the wood industry, marketing, dust, filters, wood shows etc etc I tried to convince Steve that Microclene should get into cyclonic technology for chip collection, but it isn’t a market they are looking at currently, and instead is focusing [...]

SSYTC009 Rockwell JawHorse

Update – a clarification required: The Rockwell JawHorse seen in the following video will be sold as the Worx Pro, and most Worx Pro tools will be green in colour.  The current Rockwell JawHorse in Australia (let’s call it the Junior JawHorse) is also sold as an orange Worx model (not Worx Professional).  Really, there [...]

Chip Carving

Picked up the Chip Carver’s Workbook today – looked like it would be an interesting and informative read, and I’m sure it isn’t as easy as it looks, it doesn’t look so complicated that I shouldn’t consider trying it. I still have that stunning set of Hock Blade Carving Knives that I want to put [...]

Blogroll

After a few tweets, a fellow blogger came up with a suggestion for himself, that if widely adopted could improve the interconnectivity of woodworking blogs all over. His blog, the Taylor Garage proposed the idea that he was going to comment as widely as possible on other blogs’ posts. Now when I started my blog [...]

Inlay Kit for the Router

I’ve always wanted to do inlays, be that detail for boxes, or adding that something extra to other projects, but it always did seem to large a mountain to climb to work out how to do it, and more precisely, to get the templates just right to make it work. There is a secret (not [...]

SSYTC008 – Blowfly Spider Cookies

Now I’m sure that name makes little sense to anyone, so let’s clarify. I grabbed the little digi-camera and shot a quick look at the Rockler Bench Cookies in action. They can be seen securing a board while edge routing with a hand-held router, while sanding with a ROS (random orbital sander), and while using [...]

Phone Contact

Apologies to anyone who have been trying to ring me over the past few weeks and not been able to get through. I have (and still am) having serious issues with my VirginMobile service, and at this stage may not have any mobile service until Monday afternoon. If you need to get hold of me, [...]

Sonicrafter

While on the subject of adverts, this is the current one on the Rockwell Sonicrafter

Roadside Adverts

Normally, I don’t like advertising. (Yeah – a big fullstop (if I could have made it bigger I would have)) Unless it ticks some very serious boxes. Clever, entertaining, well conceived, and presumably relevant to me, but that’s just a bonus. So I was very impressed by the massive billboard on the Mornington Peninsula freeway [...]

Misan Timbers and Craftwood

I recently received delivery of a boxmaking pack of timber from Misan Craftwood in Tasmania. I was hoping by now that I would have been able to make a box from it to show off the timbers, but I was not expecting my router table to have taken as long as it has, and it [...]
