If you’re a lookin to do a deal wid the Family, you’d better come heavy and be packin some serious heat. When joining with this thing of ours, and gettin’ into the waste management business, what better way to wear it, than to sign on the dotted line with a pen fit for a wiseguy. [...]

History Never Repeats History never repeats, I tell myself before I go to t’meet. Don’t say the words you might regret, I lost before, you know I can’t forget. There was a club I used to know, It was dealt a savage blow, The Triton club you cannot see, But anyway that’s history. History never [...]

Some musings, completely unrelated to woodworking, so read no further if not interested! Have been thinking a lot recently about the job, about past lives (no, not the Charlie Brown (aka wishy washy) “I’ve had past lives” crap, but previous career paths etc), and a thought dawned on me this morning that the role I [...]

Been watching my woodworking DVDs again recently (makes a good distraction while cooking!), and have been looking again at the Richard Raffan DVD from Taunton on Turning Boxes. Damn, but he makes it look easy. I was trying (without first reading any instructions, or reviewing videos etc) roughing out a bowl recently, and found it [...]

This kit from Carbatec puts some very common jig-making hardware into a sorted box, ready for the [...]

As much as I find the Purelite powered respirator very convenient, I don’t always want the full weight of a helmet, and the sound of the air filtration when I only want a face shield. So that lead to me buying one of these (from Carbatec – costs about $39) When I first put it [...]

The Veritas Miniature Shoulder Plane is a stunning, tiny plane, that is still very functional (almost as an added bonus!) It is made from stainless steel, using the investment-cast process. It has a fixed mouth, with a machined sole and ground sides. A low 15° bed angle combined with the 25° blade bevel provides a [...]

Made a (brief) appearance in a woodworking mag: Australian Wood Review, as myself, rather than as the author of an article. It was all part of the “My Shed” competition. Shame not to have won the tablesaw, but then, where the hell would I have put it anyway!!! One day, and you know you’ve finally [...]

Reports out of the Wood Show in Brisbane last weekend speak of a significant drop in local business involvement, with many regulars missing. Wonder where did they all go? Were they affected by the recent floods? The strong Australian dollar? The cost of show attendance? The online economy? The GFC? Is it that Australians are [...]

With a bit of a shuffle, and cleanup, the workspace is looking good. The shed is tight, but having the dedicated work surface is invaluable, and is already being put to good use. The stack of Festool has been moved to a more accessible location, and again the advantage of the boom arm is apparent [...]
