eccc whippet Posted June 21, 2016 Share Yip the expensive ply (R1200 per sheet) and white oak i collect from a rubbish bin at a factory which makes furniture using a cnc. I enjoy working with ply and adding it to projects. Edited June 21, 2016 by isetech Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTBeer Posted June 21, 2016 Share I have a Meranti beam PAR size approx. 200 x 60 x 4200mm (will check if anyone is interested) left over from a mezzanine floor project in my house. Wanting to sell it - +-R1200. Goes for about R1700 from Baltic Timbers. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dev null Posted June 21, 2016 Share A Disston No. 4 back saw, circa 1939-1940 that I found at an obscure pawnshop in Gordons Bay for R45. I only needed to clean it up a bit. The only flaws I can find is a crack in the blade at the front, and a chip in the handle at the horn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted June 21, 2016 Share Hi, Any of you guys have or use one of those Dremel multi accessory tools. Not specific to woodwork, but looks like a handy tool to have. any feedback would be cool. thx I have a Dremel Model 800, battery powered job, very handy, runs well, works hard. I don't have any of the accessory goodies though. Beesrib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted June 21, 2016 Share Hi, Any of you guys have or use one of those Dremel multi accessory tools. Not specific to woodwork, but looks like a handy tool to have. any feedback would be cool. thx Well, I only ever thought I needed one of those once, almost justified buying it, but ended up making a R2.50 plan. Only time I would really consider getting one again is if I venture into restoration of furniture with intricate carving work, or ornate moulding etc, where getting into with sandpaper could prove cumbersome (like sanding chair number 6 out of a 8 seater dining set) Edited June 21, 2016 by RocknRolla Beesrib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spez247 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Some pretty impressive work here, Gents. Who knew.... Need some advise. Doing a full renovation & addition (what was I thinking...) and part of the project included replacing all the trusses in the original home. So I now have a bunch of timber, that looks worse for wear; and I would really like to clean it up a little, to utilise as a work top / bench in the garage. The biggest challenge is that they lack uniformity in thickness. Would I have to run them through a "thicknesser" or a plane?I have limited woodworking tools (belt sander & orbital) but other than cleaning up, don't think I would be able to get the uniformity. There used to be a community workshop near Ghandi Square a few years ago, but that is no longer. Would gladly hire equipment, or pay for expertise. Any ideas / suggestions appreciated.
