Is tree world still going? I was yellow carded for a few days for posting an opinion about the moderation of that site and have never been back since. They can take a number and join the queue to kiss my ass.
Got the fence, a jetty & missed the house, 2 out 3 isn't too bad!

Does this sound like a plan:If you haven't got a good bench grinder setup to sharpen, a belt sander is the next best thing....it's what I use at work in emergencies and it does just as good a job on the chisels with even less chance of the super strengthening blue tinge we all love to see. Finish with the nose to get the concave so your stone will then work on it for razor sharp
Ask chippy to find a discounted supplier. Nobody can sniff out discounts like that tinny bastard.
LOL. I'm working on it - may be the only thing I am ultimately successful at.
Thanks for the info.
Yes, doesn't need to be a perfect run and would be easier, better, and probably cheaper to cart a packet of lumber over to the four-sider crew to have it run, but where's the bloody fun in that? This is for farm owners who I came to do a few jobs for a few years ago and they have become friends and she wants to learn how to make stuff with wood and needs some sarking, so, I think I'll point her straight to the redneck spindle moulder and then hide around the corner.
This one time, at band camp, a mate of my building boss broke a bit on some knotty Rimu (very hard when seasoned), and the shrapnel went through his shoulder and embedded in the block wall behind him before he even knew what was happening. I have that in my head every time I turn my router on.
No hurry mate. Just whenever, if ever you get a round tuit.
I have my eye on some used 630mm knives that I can cut down, but I still need to get 'em sharpened unless I want to make up a jig for the bench grinder (will fark that up I'm sure), buy a proper grinder (ouch), or pay $50 to have a set sharpened.
They're OK for light clean ups but when you get leaners like I get in the shop the files don't last long. I just use the angle grinder and start from the tail as that's usually still true and work your way along. Then I take it out the vice chuck it on the bench and check it with a set square. We had one at the old shop that was part of the building frame that had a washing machine motor driving a belt upto a flat bench with a shaft with a 9" grinding wheel sticking up through it like a table saw. That worked really well that I'm thinking of replicating it againThese are cheap, work fine -

I've been thinking of how to make a chainsaw letter box since we moved into our place. Atleast no one would steal this one. Well bob might...
I've got a carving bar and chains brand new in the shed, don't really know how to do it though [emoji14] chinga 070 crankcase, top cover, rear handle and bar and she's doneWhy not carve a chainsaw mailbox with a chainsaw...
That would be like hitting two stones with one bird so to speak

Pretty easy, I carved a mushroom with a chinese saw once. Turned out reasonably round.
send them to the guys in the US and get them to forward it on.. thats what i do most of the time.Watch out for the rip-off postage from Chainsawr in the USA
I was desperately seeking piston rings for the contra( 52x2mm,hard to get),and he had em at a reasonable price.
Came to checkout,and the postage was $39 USD!! For 3 piston rings!
Anyway,it was 2am,i wanted the rings,couldnt find em elsewhere,needed to get started on the resto,so i foolishly sent the dough,thinking "oh well,maybe he is stuck using some super duper goldplated shipping service.
When the small box of rings arrived,via regular airmail,the postage cost was $13.
so i emailed the Karnt,pointing out the $26 difference in postage,and he says that there are many other costs involved in shipping to australia,without specifying what these were.
I've had a ton of stuff posted from the states without this mystery surcharge,and huge mark-up.
He may have the parts,but i'd rather buy my own chinese factory and make the bloody things myself than deal with him again,just on principle.
