TWC Assembly Manual Commenced

I’ve been working over the past 2 days (particularly today) on an assembly manual for the Torque Workcentre that they have commissioned of me.  It will take a while to produce it, and an accompanying video (by the end of the month or so I imagine, but it is early days yet!), but a big [...]

iPad – What can you do with this latest cool toy?

Well, you can blend it! I DEFINITELY want one of those blenders!!

Wild Horses – Mustang by Name & Spirit

Perhaps a bit of creative license, but the Flai Mustang is a very interesting blade to have mounted in the table.  More formally called a multi-material blade, I prefer to think of it as a Universal Blade.  Or a Jack-of-all-trades. It can be mounted in your tablesaw, and cut whatever you decide (or accidentally include) [...]

Google

Impressive rise through the rankings – only 2 hours ago I posted the video of the Flai Mustang, and a search on Google for that had Stu’s Shed in positions 2, 3 and 5!!! Not bad at all

Fighting the Mess Gremlins

Now approaching 2 years since the shed upgrade, and I’m still dealing with some of the after effects.  But I’m getting there slowly. Was out at the shed last night to almost 3am, watching episodes of “The Wire” on the TV, and going through boxes of stuff that hadn’t been unpacked since the crazy hazy [...]

Checkbox Safety

Got an email about a tool survey from Fine Woodworking (most tools were either not in my workshop, or not in Australia, so I guess rather limited appeal for non-Americans when that Tool Review mag surfaces), and came across a sort of games/quiz section on their website. After playing around a little with “Spot the [...]

A Sense of Responsibility

I became a timber owner today.  And that carries both a sense of possibilities, but also responsibility.  A responsibility to utilise that timber in a way that best displays the incredible characteristics, and varieties of each and every piece. What arrived (ahead of schedule which was good, meaning it turned up just before the Easter [...]

Roving Reporter’s Roving Report on a Triton Demonstration

Yup – you read correctly – there was an agricultural show on last weekend, and there was actually a Triton demonstration running over the weekend, presented by….. the roving reporter.  His report follows: The roving reporter spent 4 days last week at Farm World, Lardner Park Warragul, working on the stand of Bairnsdale Electrics demonstrating [...]

The legendary TS10L

Despite information to the contrary, it appears that Carbatec Perth have received a shipment of the impressive TS10L tablesaw (the same one that graces my workshop). No idea what this means about their availability, or what price they are, but if you are in the market for a great 10″ tablesaw, it’d be worth a [...]
