Hairy Posted October 25, 2017 Share I sell Dromex impact resistant safety glasses as well, for the ninnys. The rental crates comes with 5 as well. I actually give them away to a lot of kiddos as well, especially the gingers ... geez they (we?) are a different breed.lol ... is that why your profile pic is a "GingA" bread man?

Rocket-Boy Posted October 25, 2017 Share Is anybody here familiar with the Wolfcraft brand of woodworking tools or whether they are available locally?They have some really interesting pieces of equipment. Obviously not up to the top quality stuff but for the weekend warrior doing the odd home job or project they seem ideal.I havent used them personally but the reviews I read were quite good. tools4wood recently started stocking their stuff.

Pants Boy Posted October 25, 2017 Share lol ... is that why your profile pic is a "GingA" bread man?Yep. Guilty as charged. And no, it's a myth that gingers have no souls. We get a freckle for every soul we steal. Rocket-Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-Boy Posted October 26, 2017 Share I don't have the funds or space for a saw, the Jigsaw bench mount looks very interesting:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFefCe_llkYLooks quite interesting, but not sure what it would cost once its here and the cutting would probably be quite messy on the edges.Would a handheld circular saw not suit you better? they are normally quite easy to pick up 2nd hand and with the aid of a straight edge or some known straight wood and clamps you can get some very accurate cuts. Your cutting capacity would be a lot higher too because a jigsaw blade would bottom out where with a circular saw you can cut to depth and then flip the item over if it didnt go the whole way through.

I don't do a lot of woodworking but when I do I always get frustrated when having to deal with the wrong tool for the job. Suppose that's life.....

Stretched@Birth Posted October 29, 2017 Share Weekend project 2:Â Â Â Refinished a top I made a while ago, for a "cocktail table" I'm busy with. Frame is done, will probably powder coat it, and then can a few sundowners on it.

Ed-Zulu Posted October 30, 2017 Share Two 2.5m mast sections done, capped and now to fit the aluminium sleeve to attach them when sailing. 2.4m boom done, will fit mast hook this week and the goose neck to the mast. Then epoxy and paint, should be sailing well before December!!!!

Stretched@Birth Posted October 30, 2017 Share Had the privilege to visit Kuni's workshop and see some of the pieces they have built. The attention to detail and love for the timber is amazing.

Pants Boy Posted November 1, 2017 Share So it seems as if all the i's are being dotted and the t's crossed. Last bit just fell into place for the new spot - home loan approved (prime -.35, I'm happy) Workshop. The previous owner makes custom knives. He's moving all his machines etc to Mauritius. Hairy, the nerd, Rocket-Boy and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
