Big update/catchup for Shed TV
Posted on June 29, 2010 by Stuart
Have finally spent a bit of time rebuilding the Stu’s Shed.TV pages – they were getting very out-of-date, and also unwieldy with the number of videos now available. So I have come up with a new main page which is pretty basic (I might pretty it up in the near future) which describes each video [...]

When Harry met Sally
Posted on June 27, 2010 by Stuart
Darkness quickly descended over the pristine white cylinder, but the ensuing silence would be short-lived. Above, through a narrow opening in the now stationary silvery white surface above, a faint glimmer could be seen, and in that reveal, many, many teeth became apparent. Suddenly, the silence was broken with an insidious roar, primal, ancient, mindless [...]

Cause and Effect
Posted on June 26, 2010 by Stuart
Not the first time I’ve heard it happening, but it is rather cool to walk into a retailer and hear that they’ve been fielding a number of requests for a product (in this case Fluro Titebond (in this case something unavailable in Oz)) and have no idea why the sudden interest! Stu’s Shed Dwellers doing [...]

Bolts
Posted on June 25, 2010 by Stuart
I have intended, for a long, long time, to get the bolts I needed to create the 3-featherboard riser for my MagSwitch Pro Featherboard. The riser kit comes with the correct length bolts for creating a low 2-featherboard and a high 2-featherboard, but for some strange reason they (MagSwitch) don’t choose to provide the bolts [...]

Leg up
Posted on June 24, 2010 by Stuart
I really can’t remember if I mentioned this here or not – I certainly meant to! It appeared on Cool Tools recently, and I thought it a very clever, and simple system – especially for a 1 man shop. It is called the “Leg Up”, and is designed to help a single person manipulate a [...]

Wood Whisperer on the iPhone!
Posted on June 23, 2010 by Stuart
Yeah-as much as I would have loved to have an iPhone app out there (still would!), Marc and Kenneth have realised the dream! The Woodshop Widget is now out! A combined effort of The Wood Whisperer and Grand Unified LLC, it features a number of useful tools, as well as a feed directly from the [...]

Part of the landscape
Posted on June 21, 2010 by Stuart
For a while now I’ve had a tool flying so far under the radar that I basically forgot to mention it at all. Flying under the radar, but getting pretty much daily use. It’s a tape measure, but one without any moving parts, so nothing to go wrong over time (other than the rare o-ring [...]
