  1. I agree you can use it for that - but they can be used to clean up curves too - so my dad's set is of 3 - flat, concave and convex (and concave and convex don't work on spokes) So for instance if you use a bandsaw to cut a rough curve in a piece of ply, then cleaning up the curve to a precise line is the trick - easier in ply than in wood with a grain which rips out really easily. I asked him what he did with them - said he bought them for curved panel fitting on a yacht he built - nearly 50 years ago - guess one day they will be divvied up between the boys... I have my eye on his rebate plane - which is a cool toy - although practically a router will be quicker.
  2. Most of the things you SPREAD butter on are not good for you....
  3. Nuke it.... Butro is not good for you..... according to Tim....
  4. WTF is wrong with NZ butter?
  5. My dad has a few of those.... used for planing curved edges - takes some skill to use well.
  6. I am looking for a ply that has similar colouring and grain to yellowood - any ideas?
  7. True - but they don't make a super-auto - at least not so far as I have found.
  8. I have found a catalysed 2k non fill primer that I think will work - just need to get to Marouns to get it. It's a bit big to consider cans - think it's about 8 sqm of paintable surface.
  9. Jura, Siemens, Bosch, carimali all come to mind. The quality of support available locally is important.
  10. Junk... the very top of the line one is ok - the dual boiler one - you will just suffer with that one.
  11. Not really HA - 90% of people will be better served by a super auto - but a sa will never get you the last 15% of quality in the cup - question is if you are obsessive enough to master the skills needed to get that last 15% - it takes time and effort - not to say anything about money, because quality kit is not free. If you just want a cup on the way out to work - superauto - if you want to spend hours fiddling to get it perfect - then separates. just please do not buy a nespresso.. .. environmentally unfriendly things...
  12. Choose a grinder first - a great grinder is more important than the machine. I also suggest doing a barista course first before you buy. And yes - that should last - but that's not the only purchase criteria.
  13. I am happy to help with the design if you get a plumber to do the install - it's pretty simple really - come and drink some coffee and we will walk it through on the back of an example I have.
  14. This issue is so old they have been providing for it for years.... doesn't stop them from upping the increased RRP though - and hasn't for years...
  15. Pretty simple - so people don't use the logo or a similar logo, or sue you for using a logo similar to theirs. Take a look at the SAN Parks logo - that is trademarked... quite exactly what categories it is trademarked in I don't know - but they will be grumpy if you use a similar logo in a category they have already trademarked it in (and you can buy SANparks clothes)
  16. I don't personally object to the kudu at all - BUT - might I suggest you do a proper trademark search on the use of it as a logo before you finalise on it - this could save you some pain later on - especially if you intend to sell internationally. Our company logo's are trademarked - and it has saved us a lot of hassle over the years - find someone who knows what they are doing with this - it's a specialist field - I can put you in contact with the oversized firm who did ours, but that's up to you.

  18. cool
  19. I do - will have to find his number for you - basically a guy in his factory that uses the pallets they get for a small sideline business - they make things up for you if you give them a sketch.
  20. What are you using as undercoat on that MDF? I am trying to find an appropriate sprayable undercoat - something 2k compatible.
  21. If - as per your other post - you have been diagnosed and are being treated for hypothyrodism - then you will see variations based on many things - especially fatigue and your medications, so - unless you want to do a properly structured test set to see if there is variability related to the bike difference - I would just chalk it up to your normal variability things - bike/day/nutrition status/fatigue/carb intake/temperature/route differences/indoor/outdoor/trainer/road/mtb etc - and not worry too much about it - better to worry about your general health status.
  22. Are you recalibrating the stages each time you move it?
  23. You will need to cut for the sides and front and drawer fronts - so 800mm + 1400mm top + 800mm gives you a 3m board fully used - it's not about cutting them for me - it's about minimising wastage. My folks have a chest of drawers about 1.4m tall - think 4 or 5 full width deep drawers - might be worth considering something like that - used for linen storage if memory serves. Google images might help for ideas
  24. A sideboard.... I already have the table.... and chairs.
