After whetting our appetites at the Melbourne Woodworking Show with the new products in their range, they have arrived and are now available for sale (which is great with the Brisbane Woodworking Show on next weekend!) Some we have seen already, and have just undergone a colour change to “safety yellow”, a change that I [...]

This is a mini project in reclaiming timber, destined for the chimney. It is rapidly approaching winter here down-under, and having a fire in the evenings is becoming commonplace. I always wonder just what is being turned to ash, and if it could be redirected to more aesthetic purposes (not that staring into a fire [...]

To follow up on the recent post, and to cover what I finally went with: The thicknesser (planer) is as mentioned the 15″ 381. With a retail price of $1600 (minus their current offer of 10% off or a free dust extractor or something), it is more than something like the Triton 15″ (which was [...]

Bit of a dramatic day as it turned out. I was planning on getting over to Ikea, but they had limited stock of what I wanted to pick up, and would not put aside or guarantee that it would not be a wasted trip, so the door of opportunity opened for me to make some [...]

Still on the new tool research wagon at the moment. Unusually for me, I have the power available for the tool, and a space, and not the tool to fill it! As I mentioned, I am looking for a new cast iron thicknesser (planer), and drum sander. At the moment, some models I am looking [...]

Episode 41 Wetstone Jigs and Stone Dressing The wetstone sharpeners are just one part of the system – the jigs that are available make it a very versatile machine. This video covers both some of the jigs that are available, as well as dressing the stone, so it is flat and parallel to the jig [...]

All 380′s are now sold, and there are only two 320′s left. If you want one for $100, you better be quick! Update 2: I had a quiet bet with myself that I could have all the units sold by the end of the day, and they are – all gone. Not that I get [...]

I happen to glance at the sales table in Carbatec today, and completely forgot what I had actually gone in to get (scrollsaw blades). On the table were (and are still there as of closing time), a small pile of Scheppach Planer Blade Attachments for the TiGer 2000 and 2500 wet stone grinders. Of course [...]

Episode 37 GMC 180mm Power Planer Keep an eye out for the magic couch, and the blooper track at the end…. I had an operator problem (forgot to turn on the vac), and had to reshoot some of the video. I don’t get paid enough to worry about perfect continuity…. Bloody good tool though! For [...]

Coincidentally, (kind of) I just had a courier delivery from GMC of some tools that I am getting to review. The unlimited rebate planer (GMC) and the new Triton 184mm saw I was keeping an eye out for as they were expected (and I’m very interested in seeing what they are capable of), but the [...]
