Little Boxes made of Ticky Tacky

Christmas came and went with such a rush, that I completely forgot to even take some photos of the two boxes I made as presents.  These are a few photos of one of those boxes (taken by my old man) of the box given to my Mum. The sides are Tasmanian Oak, from Misan Timbers.  [...]

The Proper Triton Mount

TWC are busy fabricating a new batch of mounts (due in the next week or so) for Triton router owners to be able to fit the Triton router to the TWC, and in the meantime they’ve sent down one of their original prototypes so I can get my Triton router secured properly. So in these [...]

Amalgamation of Woodworking and IT

The beige computer case has started to become a thing of the past (who in the world chose that colour anyway!) but has only been getting replaced with black computers. Now that may be an improvement, but these computer cases designed by Nick Falzone Design take the aesthetics to a whole new level. Check out [...]

Andy’s Little Lumber Store

I’ve spoken of some of Andy’s products in the past – a number of design templates provided by downloadable PDF as an alternative to computer design packages such as Google Sketchup.  His latest concept takes the design process one significant step further, away from 3D drawings and computer renderings, and back to a very traditional [...]

Torquing ’bout Walko Refinements

The Walko Surface Clamps from Ideal Tools have arrived! After having experienced them when assessing the Walko Workbench, I couldn’t wait for them to turn up. The clamps are used anywhere on the surface of your bench, so a grid of 20mm (dog)holes is required, 100mm apart.  I went with a minimum of 50mm from [...]

Breaking Edges

If you’ve worked with melamine or veneered sheet goods before, you are likely to have had to deal with the heat-activated, pre-glued edging to disguise the cut edge.  There is a wide range of prepared edging – melamine obviously, but also wood veneers, such as pine.  Some you have to apply glue, but quite a [...]

Tool Mounting and more TWC Mods

After raising the MDF (sacrificial) tabletop on the Torque Workcentre to the height of the cast iron router table, I was finally at the point that I could consider the best way to attach the Incra LS Positioner which is secure, easily removed and doesn’t consume too much of the TWC working area.  More on [...]

Spring Clean

I find that a really good time of year to “Spring Clean” is actually at the start of the year. For those in the Northern Hemisphere it may be even more suitable, with short days, long nights and more inclement weather, but even so, starting a new year with a clean slat seems more inspiring [...]

2010

2010 already. Only seem like it was yesterday that it was 2009. For the past year (from 1 Jan 09) I have been trying an experiment- posting an article of some description every single day. I kind of got there- on a dozen or so occasions, the post was the same calendar day somewhere in [...]
