For those of you who don’t know what that is, a distributed denial of service is the web equivalent of a massive street riot. It’s effect on an online website or business is devastating at the time, and the after effects can last for months, and longer. During the initial attack, there is a massive [...]

Seems to me these days, that not only am I burning the candle at both ends, but I’ve somehow had to light it in the middle as well. I need to get it under control again soon: it is unsustainable, and my post quality and quantity recently is a direct reflection of that. In the [...]

Or to be more accurate, Woodwurm (German for worm, because woodworm was taken!) So what is it? A interesting site run by Martin Gerhards. He contacted me recently to ask if he could put a link to this site from his, so I had a bit of a look around his www.WOODWuRM.de while I was [...]

Not sure what you call it- when an ‘upgrade’ turns out to be a ‘downgrade’, so when you roll back to the earlier version, it is simpler to think of it as a ‘retrograde’! Or something. I ‘upgraded’ my Torque Workcentre about 6 – 8 months ago (I’m sure there is a post about it [...]

Bit of a last hurrah from summer over the weekend, with a 37 degree Saturday (over 40C in the shed), so not a lot achieved out there. Bit of cleaning was pretty much the sum of it really. I did continue some more testing – product review, but it isn’t going well. May find I’ll [...]

Over the past 4 months or so, I was becoming increasingly concerned about the Torque Workcentre, people’s purchasing experiences, lack of communication (particularly given just how invested I had been in it for a few years). Not too much time has past though, it seems. My last article I wrote before the speedbump has only [...]

Manspace Magazine is heading right into the digital frontier with their latest move. You can certainly still subscribe to the traditional version for $20 ($19.95 for the pedantic) for 4 issues if you want, or save a tree and get it electronically to be read on you device of choice (computer, iPad, Samsung tablet etc [...]

There are a lot of rules out there these days: steel rules, plastic, wooden, anodised aluminium, acrylic. In my workshop, I have a number of examples, most are getting very dusty. The two that are not are quality offerings from Woodpeckers, and a new one from Australian Wood Review ($49) is vying for a place [...]

15 months ago I started a project, creating a display board of my collection of Naval items. It has been a bit of a long haul- not overly difficult, just for some reason I stopped early on, and didn’t find the motivation to knock the project off. You could say the project started 15 years [...]

Always surprising just how much I remember about the Torque Workcentre when I get started (either that or I just talk too much!) at the Berwick Woodworkers club today. With about 10 interested members registered, we jumped straight into various aspects of the machine, from fine tuning, degrees of freedom, mounting tools, mounting work to [...]

Been a weird 6 months. Had my Torque gig at the wood show whisked away from under my feet, pretty much had no contact with the company, and still for some reason I keep spruiking about the product. Must be a bloody good product then. Just hope they can get it together again. Tomorrow I’m [...]

Had my folks visit from NZ recently (thus the large chunk of swamp kauri mentioned recently.). They then headed down to Tasmania for a holiday, and made up a bit of a care package for me from there. Arrived the other day in a big box: So if you are wondering why there is a [...]
