Bunnings – BBQ purchase is unsafe.

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.

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.

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.
