Using Up Some Scrap Timber
I've had some scrap/packing case timber in the shed for a fair while, plus in addition a mate gave me some packing case timber that he had to do something with... so I decided to make these. They're nothing flash but some interesting grain colourings. Just have to split off the lids, lacquer and find and fit some suitable hardware.

Hybrid vs entry level table saw
Hi all, happy new year!
New to the boards and am currently in the process of purchasing a new table saw.
Ive been reading all the post on this board and doing a stack of research and now want some final advice! Ill try keep it brief:
I'm working in a home shop building small- medium sized pieces of furniture. Im looking at spending around $2000 give or take a few $100. Ive been to all the suppliers around Melbourne and checked out Harvey, Jet, Baileigh however I'm yet to see a Laguna.
My preferences is for a lighter weight saw for movability. So <200kg, 10amp (i have 15 amp but my cnc, jointer/thicknesser and dust collection are running on those circuits) apart from that I want it fully featured, so good quality T square fence, riving knife, a 30-40" rail as well as cabinet mounted trunnions. So as you can imagine I've arrived at a either an entry level table saw or a quality hybrid saw.
Ive spent a while on the second hand market (yet to buy a new tool!) however in this case I want to purchase new!
I have made a longish list of contenders, but my current dilemma is whether to go for a high end hybrid like the Laguna fusion or a Baileigh TS-1044HH (Laguna edges out with wheels as well as proven performance and stop button being mounted on the rail and not the cabinet of the saw) or alternatively moving up a little in weight and going for a Harvey HW110HB-30 or a Baileigh 1040e-30. The upside of the Fusion or similar is the 36" rail but its seemingly lighter duty. I'm really just after your opinions as both types of saws address my needs! Also if anybody has any other recommendations would be great to know if I've overlooked any. The jet proshop was considered however at $2000 i feel the other options are a bit more saw, but I may be incorrect.
Thanks!

Lathe Dust Collector - a free design
Hi all,
Not much happening today. Terribly bored. Rockler sent an email today which had a fairly cool dust collection system and a video showing it working.
I HATE DUST!!!! Especially lathe sanding dust!!!!!!!
So, this naturally reduced my ennui for a short time... whipped this up so I have a plan to follow.
Here is the Rockler device: Dust Right® Lathe Dust Collection System | Rockler Woodworking and Hardware for ~$70 + ~$30 postage... and the Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLXKm1-u6HE
So I designed one using nothing but 20mm dowel, a few lengths of 50x20 pine and a few twist knobs. The main catchment is 150mm PVC and the back is 100mm pvc simply glue-welded onto the back at an appropriately cool angle.
-- There is nothing entirely novel about the solution other than it offers a slightly bigger catchment of 6" and a bigger 4" suction. BobL no doubt can improve this with the curvy-trumpet-thingy.... but the Sketchup doesn't handle compound curves intersecting with any grace.... so elaborate away!
-- I like the way my design offers two sliding grip points for the pipe rather than Rocklers one on the end. I seriously doubt you'll need as much adjustment/movement as I put into each rod, they are 500mm each and simply that long as I stretched them until it looked "cool".
-- The two attachment points are shown in detail... the tricky 90°-90° joiner could use a tweak depending on load. The pipe clamper is simply curved on a bobbin sander (or such) to match the curve of the 6" pipe and secured with a couple of screws from the pipe side.
-- The main support rod looks very long. I intend to attach the 4" pipe to the back using the pipe grippies from Carrols CWS Store - 2Pc Double Loop Squeeze 4" Hose Clamp | Carroll's Woodcraft Supplies and an Occy strap over the long base bit to keep the pipe tame.
-- Use some knobs like the T-Tracks here: CWS Store - T Track Knobs | Carroll's Woodcraft Supplies or make your own:
-- The front bit that attaches to the lathe is the design I use for my other accessories on the Cougar EVS300. One bit follows the gap in the bed, the lower bit clamps upwards and exerts force to clamp it closed. I do this for the disk sander module and tool rack sitting on the end. It slides off easily and doesn't get in the way of the underside webbing. Modify to suit your lathe, of course...

Use as you will. I'm not even sure if it'll work! No copyright. Sketchup attached. dust collection.zip

Long stemmed Banksia nut goblets
jeudi 31 décembre 2015
I have made this type of goblets for some time now and have almost perfected the technique. The tallest goblet is 460 mm high whereas the smaller one is 360 mm high. The stems are turned from Jarrah timber and other parts are turned from recycled red gum fence posts.

Toy Steam Roller from Christmas toy pallet challenge
Congratulations to Crowie on his Christmas toy pallet challenge, and to all the people involved in organizing it.
It was a design that I had been thinking about for a long time, and when the Christmas toy pallet challenge came up, it galvanized me into action.
This is Mk2, about 25% bigger than Mk1 and slightly different. The wheels I made with a circle cutter, aka fly cutter in a (home made) drill press.
If anyone is interested, these are the plans for the toy steam roller from woodworkingdownunder.com
I am working on another version with wheels that steer, may be ready for next Christmas.
Also a few more photos attached of the build process:
