An Ode to Norm
Posted on October 19, 2009 by Stuart
When it come to woodworking, it is plain to see The flannelet shirt’s a must have accessory The woodworker’s beard can come short or long So long as you have a toolbelt, tough and strong A silhouetted sign is not necessary, it’s true But a nailgun is a given, perhaps even two Norm’s calling it [...]

Melbourne Timber & Working With Wood Show 09 Day 3
Posted on October 18, 2009 by Stuart
Another show comes to a close – not sure if I’ve known one to fly by so quickly. I’d be more disappointed about that except that it is only a little under 4 weeks to the next one in Brisbane, and 4 months to the next one in Melbourne! It will be interesting to see [...]

Posted on October 15, 2009 by Stuart
Episode 54 Dust Talking about protecting yourself from dust. The cloud gets generated by taking the Festool Termite to a piece of MDF. Sorry about the pelting rain in the background – for a country in a 10 year drought, it seems to rain at very inopportune times! This video features the Dust-Bee-Gone and Microclene [...]

Shopping List
Posted on October 15, 2009 by Stuart
Haven’t gotten too many things specifically on the shopping list for the show (yet). Dangerous going to the show with an open mind, and an open wallet (but it leads to a lot of fun too!) One year I had done a large shed clearout to eBay (way before Stu’s Shed), and so had an [...]

Unwelcome Visitor Part Deux
Posted on October 14, 2009 by Stuart
Last night while working out there, I heard quite a bit of banging and rustling, and I was pretty convinced it was outside the shed, so I blocked the hole (and did a pretty good job of it). Turns out I was wrong. The possum was inside after all. And he certainly let me know [...]

Crying over your Triton Router Table and Biscuit Joiner because you can’t get Triton biscuits any more? Don’t risk rusting your tools out – the biscuits are still available, directly from the actual manufacturer of the Triton biscuits. The Size 7 Biscuits from BIX – an Australian Biscuit Manufacturer are the Triton biscuits.
