Mitre saw purchase

Thanks to Ozito (again) for locating a 305mm Sliding Compound Mitre Saw and putting my name on the last one at Bunnings Notting Hill.

One of the last and this particular model not available anymore – wonder why ?

Workshop – Pocket hole drill bit

Nifty mail box delivery this morning, a funny looking drill bit.

It's a pocket hole drill bit with collet for depth adjustment used to join two pieces of timber by drilling into one at a angle to the right depth (collet) and then driving a screw through into the other timber.

Ideally you would use it in conjunction with a pocket hole jig to ensure the correct angle but they are expensive so I’ll have a go at making one.

Pixie and Luna morning siesta

Not afternoon...this is morning siesta.

Pixie is the black one.

ALDI – Night lights



Coming up again but…be aware there are many complaints about these units failing including the ones sold at Bunnings under the Click brand. I have several of the previous ones that appear to be a different brand and better than these.


Having said that I'll give it another go, note also that the price has gone up from $9.99 to $12.99. Three bucks for that price point is a lot !!!
