Another vote for Panasonic.
Mine is the best drill I have ever owned over a period of 40 something years. They make the batteries for a lot of the other brands and, no doubt, keep the best ones for...

Reference the drying time in the older post.
We dry timber, hardwood, on the basis of 1 year for every 25mm (1 inch) thick plus one year.

For next time.
Rub the gloss finish down with 0000 steel wool soaked in orange oil or any good exterior furniture oil. It not only looks like satin, it feels like it. Periodic maintenance is...

Down here you would only need two choices, "Western Australia" and "The Others".
I am now waiting for a missile from Victoria.

Point taken, but you are talking to someone who has trouble remembering the names of his kids and grandkids. Maybe I should tattoo patterns on them so that my pattern recognition skill is...
100%.
It is interesting that 80% of those who took the test got 100% result. I guess the test is easy?
Don't do what I did.
We had a 20 year old Hyundai TV that I had won in a competition. It developed a purple circle in the centre of the screen. I rang a friend who is an electronic guru for...
After an absence of more than a year, I am back.
I retired a few months ago and have now resumed woodwork - at last.
The first task is to get the spiders and webs cleaned out of the shop. The...
The problem is probably related to the security settings.
Check the settings on a computer that works as you want and then on the computer that is giving you a problem. My guess is that there will...
It works for me. Well done.
Well said Bart.
To be in the poll ...

OK. So who else has worked with any of them.
If the practice of pawn shops is universal then the prices are negotiable.
I saw a good camera bag in a local shop, price $45, hassled the guy behind the counter and got it for $12.
I have looked...
You can also use the 2, 3 and 3.6055512754639892931192212674705 method, but for some reason it is not so popular.

If your square is off a bit you can still use it to get a true 90 degrees.
From a point on a straight edge of your ply use the dud square to mark two lines. Just mark one line as you...
Dave, you need a keyboard with a "Dammit" key. When the virus makes everything go wrong you hit that key. It turns the computer off, opens the fridge, pulls out a beer and opens it for you. Press it...
Thanks for that.
It is not just the UK that has stayed with oiled cotton for waterproof clothing. Australia has a number of manufacturers, the best known being Driza-bone. If you saw the movie...
A question. In fact, a couple of questions.
If you put metal on one side of MDF, do you then have a problem with it warping because of unever moisture absorbtion????
If the metal is contact glued...
ICQ works for me and there is now a "Lite" version that gets rid of the bells and whistles that are rarely used. It not only allows for messages but can be used for real time chat.
If you set up a...
Rhyming slang.
Septic tanks = Yanks.
Oz abbreviation gives you "septics" or "seppos".
Got it? Good.
Hi Jim.
Welcome to SMC, it is nice to see another Oz. Despite the fact that most members here are Septics, they are pretty knowledgable.
I am in WA, the cool part down south where the hardwoods...
The answer is obvious. You need a router for every router bit in your collection. That avoids the problem of losing the spanner that works the chuck.
I gave up on trying to manage sheet material on my table saw. Short of buying or building a sliding table I could not get it right. I don't have room for the extensions needed to safely handle 8' x...
Raise the outer edge of the outfeed table just a fraction and support the piece being worked from pivoting on that outer edge. See if that resolves the problem. All thicknessers snipe a bit, in my...
They are no big deal. The doc will probably knock you out for a moment to avoid the gagging reaction and you will come to without being able to remember a thing about it.
