Over 100 Countries

Since early May, when I added the new widget that maps visitors to the site, there have been visitors from over 100 countries.  Cool huh – how amazing that a small shed in the back of beyond of south-east Melbourne suburbs, down-under gets seen all over the world (or is that the global village?)  Does [...]

Virtual Cleanup part 2

So I’ve now fixed up the “tool of-the-month” page (found under the “Review” tag), the “router bit of-the-month”, and have added the different cuts side-by-side for the “Battle of the Blades” – these are also found under “Review”, then under “Battle of the Blades”.  Scroll to the bottom of the list of blades to find [...]

Bit of a virtual shed cleanup

Few things happening inthe background, so if some of the pages suddenly vanish, and others mysteriously appear, don’t be surprised! I’ve changed the title of Manufacturers and Suppliers to Sources, simply because it is a shorter name. (If you can think of a better one, please say!) The Tool of-the-month page is being moved to [...]

And now for something completely different

Completely unrelated to woodworking, but just thought some might be interested to know that I have finally started up a bit of a photo blog. It isn’t much at this stage, but I hope to keep quietly adding to it day by day, and seeing it grow. It won’t impact on this site at all, [...]

A Little Blogging Experiment

I’m out and about at the moment, and have my iPod Touch with me. There is a wireless network here I can access, so the experiment is: can I write a blog entry using an iPod? Given that you are reading this I guess it worked. How amazing is new technology?

Reversing a trend

Over the past couple of months, I’ve been noticing a trend in visits which was disturbing – the numbers slowly dwindling. I think I have isolated the cause, that being not showing the full body of every post on the home page. I have reversed it, so once again the whole page is slower to [...]

Temporary Post Removal

I have been asked to temporarily remove access to a recent post about the latest tools that are scheduled to come out of Triton, as seen in their yet-to-be released 2008/2009 catalogue. Given that I had permission to publish that information there is no issue here specifically, but never-the-less I have been happy to comply [...]

Shed upgrade, part X

Ok, so I’ve already lost count of what post about the shed upgrade I’m up to! Got the majority of the timber today – all H3 treated pine, 100×50 (4″x2″). Total length: 120 metres, $2/m I’m going a bit overkill on the framing (considering the structure is already interlocking steel panels) because the first shed [...]

Bit slow on the video front

Sorry that I haven’t released a video for a while – been a combination of factors: It’s been HOT, I’ve been busy with eBaying some of the tools, I haven’t simply had the time! Hopefully (hopefully) Easter will allow me a little window of opportunity to get some of the ideas I have down on [...]

Some minor site modifications

After being prompted by one of the very helpful (and (hyper) active) members of the WordPress forums (the software behind this blog), I have made some amendments to how the site can be seen to (hopefully) significantly speed up the loading time, and therefore decrease any potential frustration from how slow this blog becomes when [...]

Dare I Admit?

That I started doing a bit of cleaning around the shed today?  Found a whole heap of amazing stuff that I completely forgot that I had! On another matter, I’m working through (in my head) an idea for the site – another page like Stu’s Shed TV which will be SSC-TV (although I haven’t come [...]

50K

Just passed quite a nice benchmark – the 50,000th visit to the site happened sometime around 10am today.  So onward and upward – perhaps the first 100k before the site turns 1.  Still, pretty surprising numbers seeing as my club site had (what I thought) was a quite impressive 45,000 over about 5 years (I [...]
