PhilipV Posted March 4, 2020 Share SA is a terrible place for finding second hand tablesaws.I literally couldnt find anything within a few hundred km of me and then it was an old Delta unisaw that they wanted R20k for.Well my savings won't mind if I don't find a bargain I can't resist.

Yeah, there was a few good saws on fb recently. Delta, Wadkin and some cheaper ones. Gumtree also brings up a few bargains;https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-power-tools/durbanville/10-34-table-saw-for-sale-+-toolmate/1006998154930910367090009https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-industrial-machinery/mitchell-s-plain/table-saw/1006985652790911555670309 Willie2011 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/160291-post-your-woodwork-here/page/298/#findComment-3621421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted March 14, 2020 Share If this is a repost, oops. Wouldn't mind paying for a handmade one (I don't have the tools, nor the skills). carrera4s, The Ouzo, Rocket-Boy and 1 other 4 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/160291-post-your-woodwork-here/page/298/#findComment-3626241 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pask makes cool stuff, been watching his channel for years.The segmented rings are a pain to make. The last segmented bowl I made took more than a month with all of the various glue up's and flattening etc. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/160291-post-your-woodwork-here/page/298/#findComment-3626299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-Boy Posted March 24, 2020 Share Its been a while since I posted any projects in here, I have been crazy busy at work for a while.I have been working on a board to mount my house numbers on, they werent standing out very well on the wall so Im going to mount them to this and then to the wall. I was amazed at home much resin it used, was 1.5L in total for something about the size of A4 paper. Next I needed to curve the edges so I found some STL files to 3D print some radius jigs for my router. They work a charm and I have printed 0.5 and 1" ones so far, many other sizes still waiting to be done. I also printed a sanding attachment for an angle grinder, its used with 80 grit to remove lines and scratches from turned projects in a BIG hurry! I should be done with the number sign in a few days so will post pics when its up.

Grebel Posted March 24, 2020 Share So I got a few basics from Mr Woodturner a few weeks ago and with the pressures of work haven't had a chance to play until this weekend. I used some scrap ebony that I have been hoarding for the past few years and ended up with this. Some damage near the tip (got a bit thin getting it to match the tip insert diameter and it split on the grain). It was supposed to be a Comfort grip with the rubber bit but I liked it better without. My mandrel was home made with a piece of 6mm SS round with a home made thumb screw and spacers. I have ordered a mandrel insert and proper spacers so hopefully the next one will come out better. Not too bad for a first try using a metal lathe. Wood turning tool was an old modified metal file.

Pen turning is a great way to take your mind off things, it isnt too demanding on you and its fairly quick to get a completed project.I have found that friends and family love getting pens as gifts, they are all entirely unique which makes it extra special.
