Bandsaw 40 - New table

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!


The Ryobi trim router was a good buy.

Recorded using Canon MV330i mini DV camcorder and Sony ECM-MS907 condenser microphone.

Bandsaw 39 - Replacement table

Finally got around to replacing the temporary table that was a rush job so I could start cutting wood on the saw.



With the old temporary table removed you can see stuff that's normally out of view; the bottom wheel and lower blade guides.

Australia Post - MyPost

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.

Pocket Hole Joinery

Decided to make a pocket hole jig.

A pocket hole is simply a hole drilled at an angle that forms a "pocket" for the screw to sit into. You can usually find examples of pocket hole joinery around the house, turn a timber chair upside down or look under a table. After the pocket hole is drilled, a specially designed fastener is used to assemble the joints.

Another new toy for kitties.
