Busy making mast sections for the dinghy, so had to make a sanding belt driver for the 500mm belt. So I made this with an old rolling pin, road bike tube and threaded rod, attached to an electrical drill.

What makes that so impressive is that that plane is fly-by-wire, so kicking the pedals to whip the tail rudder into shape for the correction takes a tad longer than expected

Ongelukkig nie, braai by ander "mense" se plekkies

Vrydag - braai met hout Saterdag - bietjie werk dan houtwerk en dan weer n braai. Sondag - goeters om te doen en 'n braai

That s h i t happens because they don't braai with wood!

I was given a very snazzy Sony turntable and stack of LP's by an old friend recently. In between the LP's is an immaculate condition Concert in the Park.

Cool, when you have a #4 ready, I'm your man my friend will take one

So, do you sell the "doubles" you have after restoration? *Asking for a friend

Fabulous addiction to have!!! About the falcons: I wonder if perhaps they were made more robust due to the predominance of eucalyptus as lumber in Australia? Most euc's are either very hard or very stringy, never really soft.

The row of planes he passes right after the mystery thing with a handle were all in excess of R5,000.00 a plane The really big planes cost in excess of R35,000.00 Jeez Louise :eek:

That is such nice material! Probably going to turn it into some architectural feature in one of the new office buildings in Maputo

Le Turbo is your man down in the WC...super talented hubber that doesn't post enough on here, send him a PM. What you want done is easily achieved with a lathe for all the handles and then some bandsaw work on the rest

Nee, nog altyd African National Congress, met die SAKP en COSATU wat in die jare 60 en 70 verenig gestaan het verandering af te dwing.

Angry laaitie that!

ROOFKYKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, but this is what I do and I did it just this morning regarding boat hardware; Phone the shop and ask about stock availability, then ask if they can quote on X number of units with delivery by PostNet. It is a long-winded approach, but it works 90% of the time. I've bought from Strand Hardware in that fashion before, so they are open to that.

PS: Great job on the table, looks professional!

If you look in the earlier pages of this thread I showed some of my router table jigs for box-joints. Very easy project with super results in the finished product. Go for it!

Called a "dimpler", originated in the drywall industry

I use their vernier. I know its a ball ache, but rather drill 9mm hole for 10mm dowel. For your current predicament: buy larger dowel, sand down to requirded od Edit: fit bigger dowel in drill, grab 100grit paper and start working it down, goes quick

Kingsize coke at the counter

The problem I personally have with an affordable tool is the evident lack of balance and ergonomics in most. They lack stability and accuracy: two of my personal experiences The R1000-00 18V Ryobi works, but it doesn't sit well, is unbalanced and a dog after screw 200. The DeWalt 18V at R2000-00 (what I paid 1 year ago) is a blast to work with, the batteries charge in no time and 460 screw later (fence repairs after wind) I only suffered from a sore thumb (460 screws are plenty!) Ryobi table saw vs Makita table saw = no comparison. Ryobi had a wobbly blade, needed constant realignment and to be set square every 5 cuts, my Makita get checked weekly and needs a reset perhaps twice a month. However, we all have Myles' problem, money! Otherwise we will all be using the better cast, more accurate machines and tools. I have however found great value in other peoples secondhand goods. A bit of spit and polish and I make them mine

And with this bit, it goes quite a bit faster too
