Had yet another task tonight that resulted in me picking up the cordless Sonicrafter, and jumping straight into the job at hand. This time I had a couple of bolts that needed to be cut short, and the idea of picking up a hacksaw, or an angle grinder with cutoff wheel did not appeal. I [...]

Some more of the products demonstrated at the Press event at Festool included storage solutions. The first, and very readily associated with Festool are the Systainers. They have received an upgrade from a 4 point attachment system (front and rear, to a single point for operation, called the T-Loc. The rear of the Systainer engages [...]

Came across this on YouTube – it is a homemade CNC machine the person has built for their Festool router (and ensured that the unit is all in the same colour scheme- imagine if Festool had a CNC machine available (but them imagine the price!)) What I found particularly interesting is the addition, and design [...]

It’s never the big parts of a job that take the time, it is all the fiddly bits at the end! Same applies to finishing off the router table, but when you are not in a rush, that time is not wasted or regretted. With “The Wire” playing on the Shed’s TV, I kept plodding [...]

Jumping straight into the demos, the first item we looked at was the new Autoclean Cleantex. Looking very much like the CT36 with the extra dimension that it can put itself through a filter cleaning cycle. The cleaning cycle can be dialed in so it happens at a frequency that suits the job being done. [...]

Had an interesting start to the morning, and very much the result of being part of “the new media”. I was invited along to the new product launch for 2011 of Festool and Protool products and it turns out they are only about 15 minutes from home. There will be more specific info over the [...]

If you want more than a single set of blades, we can negotiate the postage discount. If you want a number of profiles, make an [...]

The eBay auctions for these blades end (around 2pm) today. It will be the last chance to pick up the individual profiles you may be interested in, and these are not a common item in the shops. I won’t be listing any left over individually on eBay again any time soon, if ever. There are [...]

With the recent comments on the validity of this website (and the enthusiastic defense by its many regular readers, and for that I am honestly grateful), it is again disappointing to find my willingness to allow open and relatively unmoderated commenting and communication abused, and worse, for content to again be taken from this site [...]

Being a kiwi, it was particularly disturbing to hear and see the devastation that has once again impacted New Zealand’s South Island. Since the quake late last year there have been 4000 odd aftershocks, but this one, although not as large as the first one, was within 10km of the Christchurch city centre, and only [...]

Perhaps I should rebrand this site “LeakySheds” (instead of Wikileaks), or “StueyLeaks” (or perhaps not! At least not for another 30 years!) A Town Planning application for the new Lowes and other occupancies in Carrum Downs. Hmm – wonder if one of those other occupancies should be a Stu’s Shed outlet? Pity I don’t sell [...]

Went ahead with the plan to re-establish a separate router table, and using the Incra Router Table stand as the base. Step one was putting the base together. It comes in a pretty compact form. Lots of screws! I also decided to get the optional wheel kit. Typical of Incra, the basis for the router [...]
