maybe , have the step motor and put a heafty battery in a backpack, to save it bulking up the rod. Somebody's going to meddle and have a field day with you though. You will have to have a tough skin....

I think your idea would work. But you'll probably cop a fair bit of flack from other fishos.

when I was struggling with back pain, I modified a trolly to carry my esky and a cutting board and rod...

meth maybe with a plastic scraper.

I'd have to agree on that.

:D maybe Ray.

And I agree the quality of advice is good. Especially Bob's.

Just hope nobody gives him too much flack over it.

yeh, but the opposing point (not my point)….is your giving enough information initially that helps to give novices the incentive to do it entirely themselves and kill themselves. Highly unlikely but...

don't get your panties in a knot. :) bud.

I'm taking the on over caution….on the disclaimers... The whole boring lot.

I've discussed electrical ideas in the past myself. only Once. And...

yep, you might put an ears dropping electricians nose out of joint. Give him the shiiites. But then again, he might have a NEED to bitch about something. At the very least something to do rather than...

Nailed it . thanks guys.

thanks DJ.....Dai Sensei gave a list I can use from that thread. ta.

thanks Steve, .... I'd got a similar sort of search result, but the timbers from that search arn't like what I've got. Too many types, and a lot seem international.... eg mine hasn't got red streaks...

thanks dj

I want to know what tulipwood (hopefully the kind I've got anyway) looks like in finished form.

And uno in google how you can click images and it shows you just pictures. Can I do that here so I...

I do similar. Except use thin ALO white wheels they use at the mills in their automatic jigs.

but what I'd add,,,,,,,is after grinding by eye ....stick the bit in a cordless drill and while the...

thanks Joe. good idea. I'll do that in future.

sorry to bother on that.

I got it going in the restoration section.

and now it seems to work when trying to submit a thread about this problem ????

I get this after I click......'submit thread'....after trying to load a thread from the general woodworking section.

Your submission could not be processed because the token has expired.Please...

I'd slow the press down to the slowest possible speed, and see if its tryng to cut at all first. If no bite at all that would tell me the problems with the bit. I'd just buy a new one, with lube and...

notice something similar too.

I'll start a new thread. Hit new posts and my new threads not there.....Think it hasn't worked, but it is there, cause when I search for it, it comes up.

fat chance !.....how can I top yours :D brilliant work mate.

Ta. I'll have a good look of that. Been sidestepping dust extraction for too long now.

I'll probably be making something like this soon.

How does the 44gal drum work as a second stage ?

Does it have to be LH thread ?

Heavy and strong. Looks perfect.

What a shame Andy. That seems perfect for you.

It bothered me for a while too.

The internet is a weird way to talk to one another though.

Its a convienient way to just not bother answering for some. Where in real life I'd imagine they'd...

I've fiddled with quite a lot of old blades. Some are too soft. Some are too hard. Some are just right.....etc...

Just another statement thats trying to sell something.....uno, where only one...

I'd drill slightly larger pilot holes than recommended as well. Easier to tap them..less wear to the taps...while still leaving plenty of thread to hold bolt. And I think its worth while buying a pro...

Uno how there's an edit button there on threads. I remember clicking on that in the past to try and correct my spelling etc.....from there you could erase whole threads........But for some reason you...

good point. Not too big a pilot though or it encourages that chatter eh.

So, what do you do to work out the pilot diameter ? .....Do you just measure accross with calipers that point in the...

yep, thats what I was going to say.....the middle of the hole drilled prior provides centre for the next smaller diameter as well......so I always go from biggest drill bit to smallest...

I'll have a go.

But if I want to upload more than 5 pictures, does that mean I have to start a new post ? (seems to be the limit in the manage attachments)

Brilliant. Problem solved. Thankyou again Grahame. Owe you a favour.

Thanks Grahame. Sounds like a possibility.

I'm still a bit worried if there going to be made especially for me , that the price will be steep.

I was hoping for some common 'made by the...

Ta Grahame and everyone else for your thoughts.

Thanks Joe. I'll have a look.

Finding it hard to describe what I mean....

Pretty shore you can buy, say small pressed steel flowers....leaves....etc....ready to be welded together as you like. Uno, for making decrotive garden...

These sorry threads seem to be always like that......

sorry for WHAT !

If you did something wrong why can't you say sorry in that thread ? Was it axed ?

I pasted a link there once.....The moderator politely PM'd me notifing me of how he erased it. Bit confusing why the big deal, but those are the rules.

I suppose whats most annoying about it, is...

:D it is kinda like that.


Really !...well, I want it back then. :wink: no. glad you like it. Where would you use do you think ?

Interesting stuff...thanks for the photos. Look at the size of that punch.

Ta Soundman.

Like the idea of wiping the tips of the serrations. Confirms how I pictured the process working.

Go have a beer mate. She'll be right. People are always trying to make a quid some how. Whats new eh.

I agree with Schtoo (whats your real name I wonder ?.) ,

don't have a need for a full set. and a full set of good quality ones will cost the earth. Seems to be no shortcuts here going cheap when...

Great idea Andy. Ta. Something to keep in mind.

I've got those tapered plug cutters as well. Clever things eh. What do you think of them with wood ?

I've noticed sometimes when plugging a...

I didn't know that rule. Thanks Andy. Must remember that.
