  1. second antique plane resoted. this one was missing the wood wedge thingamagigy. i did not have beatch, so used a hard wavey wood VID_391000301_082958_377.mp4
  2. first coffin plane "restored". this one had a huge chip i the blade, but body was sound Thanks @Tothehills for your generous gift
  3. No one has mentioned Jonershoek , which is a great option for most types of MTB aslo Helderberg
  4. newest home made tool. modern marking gauge from scratch. olive wood handle, shaft from a old printer. base from brass rod cutoff and ser knob from brass ingot i cast several years back
  5. trying more new things , I've always steered clear of mitre joints , so i tried that with 1st attempt at spline reinforcement and 1st sunk lid. all from scrap wood (kampher ) think resawing, and flattening was most of the effort
  6. @Captain Fastbastard Mayhem not yet , December life and shipping ....
  7. we had a awkwardly small space where i wanted a book shelf. tried to make it not boring, but simplistic. turned out to be quiet changing, but think I pulled it off. all from a single slab of camphor
  8. small side table , trying some new techniques . rounded tapered legs. Top is campher wood base is Blackwood
  9. @The Ouzoono stock. but thst one would be ideal
  10. not the prettiest woodwork ive done , but completely functional. 5 bike rack with drawers for spares and tools
  11. Yea , my other option was silicone, but both have same difficulty in sealing the small mounting interface. let me know how your solution turns out
  12. looks like 5-6hours used contact adheasive incase i needed to open it up again
  13. So i receive a Edge 130 with 2h battery life. Not having had good experience with Garmin SA i decided to replace the battery myself. Amazon has real 130 replacement batteries , but shipping lipos are a pain so i decide to try the closet fit Lipo i could get: Garmin: Dimensions: 29.7 x 19.7 x 3.4mm Weight: 60.0g Voltage: 3.7V, Capacity: 150mAh, Generic: Dimensions: 26.5 x 20 x 3.8mm Voltage: 3,7V Capacity: 110mAh https://www.robotics.org.za/302025?search=lipo So although the generic has bit less capacity than the Garmin in, it sure would be better that the current situation and for R50 it was worth doing. Steps: Use hair drier to heat screen and glue that holds the screen in gentry lift the screen unscrew all the PCBs to get to the battery cut the red and black wires from the battery solder in the new battery replace the PCBs Charge the unit and check that its working Glue the screen back
  14. My fisrt casting project: Campher wood tops and recovered sleeper wood legs at 10deg angle
  15. Does any one know where i can get a blade setting tool I bought a secondhand Ryobi Thicknesser but did not get the tool or someone in Somerset west willing to let me borrow one
  16. Still not happy, just not tightening the axle very hard
  17. @droo thanks, nothing i can see. i may need ti take it to a pro
  18. thanks for input , i reseateted all bearings and pulled as hard a i could . still not quite satisfied , but my wife will just have to ride it
  19. i had to replace the 2 main bearings on the hub . it has xd driver assembled it feels fine, but when tightened in bike the weel turns heavily i have assembled it without the free body and tightened it .then it spins fine. my assumption is the free hub body an main bode pressress together and creatrs friction . is there a missing spacer or something else im missing
  20. I need to organize a lift from the finish to start of the 100km ( with space for the bike ) any one able to help?
  21. I agree with @droo , boaring the adapters is quick and least dodgy way to go. Or make new 15mm adapters. dont mess with the fork
  22. Have a Look at the Cotic Solaris max. super fun steel https://www.cotic.co.uk/product/solarisMAX1#gallery
  23. I agree, if the seller does not accommodate your request to inspect the bike, walk away and look for a alternative. rather wait for a while till something you want comes along and you are satisfied with the offering, pickings are slim and expensive right now, but something should pop up along the way
