And finds itself replicated across the ditch! (For those not in the region, “crossing the ditch” refers to crossing the Tasman sea, or in other words moving between Australia and New Zealand. It implies the distance between the two countries is so small, that moving from one to the other is no further or harder [...]

The Sword Saw was a device made and wielded by the gnomes, being either steam powered or magically enchanted in AD&D. Seemingly incredulous even in a fantasy environment, let alone a woodworking workshop! But there are real Sword Saws, and there are more than I realised, all for the workshop.

Thou art adorned with trinkets. Got this Christmas tree card (sent out to subscribers) from Ideal Tools. Now this is my sort of tree! Not so sure about the red and yellow ornaments, but those green ones definitely look like something I’d like seen wrapped under my tree! (And then in my shed )

Nothing beats coming home to find the mailman has turned up with some Festool! In this case, it was an upgrade accessory for the dust extractor, but who’s complaining. As you may know, I have the CT36 Cleantex Extractor from Ideal Tools. One of the benefits of this extractor is that it has onboard power [...]

Been Spring Cleaning the shed, and funnily enough, it is actually Spring. Having the recommissioned dust system has been a big influence on this, and has been very beneficial. The combination of the Carbatec dust ducting kit, the Rockler blast gate mounts, and the flexible concertina hose from Carbatec has made for a system that [...]

For so long (well a few years), if you thought about dropping on on Ideal Tools, seeing their workshop (which is awesome), you discovered it wasn’t a normal store: being a combination of an online store, and an impressive training facility. Now, well it is still an online store and an impressive training facility, AND [...]

It was the best of finishes, it was the worst of finishes, it was the age of exorbitance, it was the age of thrift, it was the epoch of German engineering, it was the epoch of Chinese manufacturing, it was the season of pleasure, it was the season of pain, it was the spring of [...]

I became a timber owner today. And that carries both a sense of possibilities, but also responsibility. A responsibility to utilise that timber in a way that best displays the incredible characteristics, and varieties of each and every piece.

Damn, but this Festool slope sure is slippery! I was using my Triton ROS for some Xmas presents the other day (like just before Xmas obviously), and I was reminded just how much it vibrated – you come away with your hand tingling from the sensation. If those fat-buster belts of the 60′s actually worked, [...]
