Wood lathe disc sander - part 1

This is a add-on to convert the ALDI WorkZone wood lathe into a disc sander.

 
Doing some planning with a mock-up.

COVID–Brandon Park chemist (update)

After waiting over one hour collected, paid and on the escalator ET checked (good thing) the bag and wrong tablets !!!

Went back to fix that and in the end walked out with only ONE tablet packet. We know where it's all going - bloody China. That mob of bloody Chinese are stripping all the supermarket and chemist shelves to ship back to China!

COVID–Brandon Park chemist

Off again this time with ET back to Brandon Park where I was this morning.

Half hour wait at chemist and more shortages !!!

Woolworth Wheelers Hill this afternoon

Add no meat, no sugar, no dishwashing liquid, low milk to the growing 'forget it' list plus...no cling wrap !!!

Al's Sunday morning shopping adventures

Decided to make the effort and checkout ALDI Brandon Park. Got there a bit before 8.30 and the car park was full…not looking good.

Walked inside and was shocked to see the queue ! about face back to the car!

Workshop updates

Some of todays activities

Mounted the planer thicknesser with table onto a dolly so it's easier to move around plus now at a more convenient work height.

Planer thicknesser - planer fence (part 5)

Now for the final part of this build, screw on the actual front timber piece for this sliding fence.

To reiterate the whole purpose of this sliding fence is to even blade wear (when edge planning) across the full width of the table - as shown here. Measured, cut and screwed on the last piece of timber - the actual fence.
