More Spam

I love (to hate) these: Spammers pretending to be buyers. Hello, Good Day, I am Willson and i will like to know if you do have (Table Saw) in stock for sale, if yes do email me back with the types and price ranges on each unit you do have in stock to enable me [...]

A Bodyblow to Triton

It only takes an image sometimes to cause much doubt in the minds of long-time Triton supporters, and this one as first mentioned on the Woodworking Forums was one of those. Discovered on the CMT website is this: What do we make of it? Did the patent ball get dropped so anyone can make Triton [...]

We Have Winners

Unfortunately, not everyone can get something – wish I could, but with 560 total entries, there was a lot of interest shown.  I used random.org to generate the necessary random numbers for the draw. Ok, so onto the draw itself.  I will contact each winner by email as well, so that is the official notification [...]

Conducting the Prize Draw…..

right now – sorting out the 560 entries and their preferences……if anyone cares…..

On Course

As much as I didn’t want for the very next day after achieving the milestone to be quiet online, the timing was unfortunate.  I’ve been on the Ideal Tools Hall Table Course, and have been putting all my energy into that. It always takes some time to become comfortable in someone else’s workshop – it [...]

1/2 Million Visitor Milestone Achieved

At approximately 2145 AEST, Stu’s Shed has passed the 500,000 visitor mark.  Thank you ball boys, thank you linesmen. Actually, all thanks to you, my surprisingly persistent, surprisingly loyal readers! Without you, this site most certainly would not, nor continue to exist. It is only by your frequent visits, comments etc that this site continues [...]

James Krenov

Looking for confirmation as to the health of Krenov- there are some unsubstantiated reports of his death (4:30am AEST). Update (news confirmed 9:14am AEST) – sadly, and as is now being widely reported I can confirm that James Krenov has died, with confirmation being received (via Australian Wood Review who featured an interview done with [...]

Regular email newsletter

I have been knocking around the idea of an email newsletter from Stu’s Shed – such as a weekly or monthly summary of posts/articles/discussions, summary of upcoming events, and any current specials etc available for Stu’s Shed readers (from companies supporting Stu’s Shed). I am interested in your feedback – is this something you might [...]

Entering Endgame

For 2 weeks, the competition for $A1000 in prizes has been running to celebrate 1/2 a million visitors to Stu’s Shed. If you haven’t gotten your entry in, better not leave it much longer – only about 24-36 hours to go!  To enter, click on the 500000 link at the top of the website, and [...]

Friday is the day (I think)

Looking at the stats, and with 2300 more visits to go, it is almost undoubtedly going to go off on Friday.  So if you haven’t entered today, then you have a chance to get 3 more entries in (so long as you don’t leave you Friday entry too late!)  Once I close the comp, there [...]

The Hands-On Expo

Update: Sign up at the Hands-On Expo website, and you will be entered into a draw to win $500 to spend on tools at the show. ————————————————————— The Melbourne Timber and Working with Wood show is almost upon us once again, and I’m definitely there (demonstrating (probably MagSwitch)), but I’ve said for a long time: [...]
