The largest Swiss Army Knife I’ve ever seen. At around $2300, you’d probably need to spend a fair amount on reinforced pockets in your pants to carry the monster. Is it practical? Of course not! But I bet you’d do a double take if you ever saw one in person – I certainly would!

Not really sure what happened to the weekend – vanished in a puff of ethereal smoke (or was that just a cloud of MDF dust that got so dense it momentarily became self-aware?). The workshop is covered in the stuff, despite 20 cubic metres/hr of air filtration, and the 2HP TruPro dusty. Some of the [...]

Been hammering out the two toy kitchens (or more precisely hammering, gluing, screwing, drilling, routering, dominoing). Hard to imagine just how much work and time goes into this sort of project, and if I had more time I could add extra feature after countless feature. I am struggling to even remember where I was up [...]

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a Superjaws, it’s a Jaw Horse, it’s the Ultimate Superjaws… No – I’m confused. It isn’t the Ultimate Superjaws that GMC took on so it wouldn’t compete with the Superjaws (or is it?), it is the (cue fanfare) Seen in a local Bunnings. It actually has some interesting [...]

Hey cool – The Sewing Revolution are still using the “As seen on Stu’s Shed” thing in their advert! I like it One thing I was hoping to show a bit earlier than now, is the extensions for their “Sewing Revolution” to increase the maximum diameter of their template. I was planning on using it [...]

Has just come out. Particular reason I’m mentioning it is I have a follow up article to my panel clamp article – a look at a wide range of hand clamps that are on the market (and a quick review of the Mustarka Rabbeting Router Bit Set). There is also a review of the Torque [...]

After recently using the Walko Workbench, one thing that really impressed me was how functional and useful the Walko surface clamps were. With the TWC, I think they would be perfect, with a matrix of holes cut into the MDF top to fit the Walko Clamps where-ever needed. I’ve got 2 sets on order (apparently [...]

I haven’t vetted these guys myself, but I’ve heard that a few people have been successful in obtaining spares for their Triton gear, particularly routers. They are in the UK – The Woodworking Centre. That Australians now have to import spares for their Triton power tools from 1/2 the world away is a really crappy [...]

1 1/2 hours condensed into about 3 minutes (30x normal speed) giving an overview of the assembly of the Torque Workcentre. Note that this was done without any instructions at all (given courier issues). Blink, and you’ll miss it! Formats available: MPEG4 Video (.mp4), Flash Video (.flv) (Right-click, and select “Save Link As”) Best video [...]

I’ve been looking through some plans that the “Roving Reporter” bought to my attention from Enjoy Making Wooden Toys. Some interesting designs in there, and a kitchen set that looks quite similar to my original one (not saying either copied the other – it is a pretty logical design, and both look good ) The [...]

It was definitely a weekend revolving around the new tool (understandably), from the pickup/delivery organising on Friday, the assembly (and getting it into the shed) Saturday, and commissioning it with some real tasks on Sunday. If you were wondering how I was going to fit a 2.5m x 1m tool in my workshop, well, you [...]
