Seniors moment during construction – last year!
Noticed today while using the saw that the whole upper blade guide arm assembly is skewed with respect to…err…everything else! How did that happen? with a good eye for true & square even before I pick up a square that should not have slipped past me – ????
 Dismantling stuff (back tracking) to find out where the skew problem lies. |
 The guide bar slides on this timber for height adjustment. The block at the bottom is part of the guide bar clamp. |
While at Bunnings today finally got some 30 and 45 mm square drive screws (driver bit included), something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. Boy…they screw right in with no need for pilot or countersink – much better than the common Philips head type.
Our usage for half way through the current billing cycle – LOL
No problem if needed create a Hotspot on my Samsung Galaxy for the WiFi tablets.
In the previous workshop post I routed a track down the table for cross cutting, here I’ve done another track across the table for rip cuts.

Bought some sausages yesterday to try out the new BBQ (see previous “Jumbuck 2 burner floor sale” post) for lunch today and noticed something when hooking up the bottle from the big 5 burner BBQ. The regulator is missing the O ring !!! Off to Bunnies to fix that and the guy on the returns counter informs me that anything on sale off-the-floor is sold – AS IS. Proceeded to cut him down, regardless of the type of sale the item/product MUST be sold in safe condition so he backed off and rang to get someone from that area down the back. The rest was plain sailing, lovely lady from down there found and gave me a $7.50 Gasmate twin-pak (see picture) along with a no-charge docket – happy with that.
Above: The O ring is missing, I should have noticed that right at the start. Continue reading “Bunnings – BBQ purchase is unsafe.”
Further to this just finished routing a 12mm mitre track down the table for cross cuts. Next job is to do one across for rip cuts. Oldies reading this should note the make of the (all metal) mitre gauge!
Above: The Ryobi trim router is so nifty – good buy. Continue reading “Bandsaw – new table”
Finally got around to replacing the temporary table that was a rush job so I could start cutting wood on the saw.
Above: With the old temporary table removed you can see stuff that’s normally out of view; the bottom wheel and lower blade guides. Continue reading “Bandsaw – replacement table”
Although I’ve never bought a postage stamp in my life went ahead and filled out the forms and took to the local post office and got – another card. Just received e-mail from Aus Post enticing me to register for a secure (yeah right) digital mailbox. That’s right, it’s a DIGITAL one!
Email from Australia Post, I didn’t ask for and don’t need one of these. Continue reading “Australia Post – MyPost”
