I should be able to make it, can talk about my new fuel injected wood working tool.

I should be able to make it, can talk about my new fuel injected wood working tool.
I’m hoping to be there,
An I still don’t own a chainsaw [emoji3064].
Cheers Matt.
Not one?

[Edited by BobL - can't have that nice new saw on its side can we?]
Thanks Bob
Sorry can't make it tomorrow. - have a mate coming around to help me break up some small Banksia logs.
Count me in
and I have 1.25 chainsaws that feature no internal combustion :)
Perhaps next week should be "show us your chainsaw" week!
Apologies not going to make it [emoji3064]
Cheers Matt.
Thanks Yvan for the tour.
Shows just what can be done even in a small space.
Cheers
Phil
Good tour Yvan. You will be making youtube videos soon.
Yes. Thanks Yvan
I got my wires crossed a little on the chain saws. The "Hard to start difficult to stall" reference was in fact to a chainsaw powered motorcycle.
Difficult to start - Hard to stall
This was the V8 chainsaw reference I had in mind: Starts with a Harley, then a V6 and then a V8.

And I think this may be the machine Bohdan was speaking about

In regards to Simon's question about timber milling, I used to do a little in a former life, but not quite so much nowadays. This thread may give a clue to my Forum name:
https://www.woodworkforums.com/f132/...hlight=laidlaw
And some more recent activity...

From 2013! :(
It was a good chat today even if we do prattle on a bit.
:wink:

Yep. That's the one.Quote:

Looks like I missed a good one,
Cheers Matt.
I've made a couple of mobile tripod cradles.Quote:

The tripod connection is a standard Manfrotto quick release plate (QRP) type.
I have multiple QRPs and leave one attached to each of my camera and a mobile cradle for quick swaps.
This was the first one

This is the second one, side mounting with provision for a recharge cable.
The tripod head is a sprung ball type so it quickly flips between landscape and portrait modes.

I missed a good session. Hopefully, there will be a re-run at a later date.
Thank you, it was fun being "behind the camera" !!!Quote:

The other simple solution I've seen is a piece of glav plate bent at right angles, with one side attached to the tripod. The other side of the angle has REE magnet and the phone is put in a case with magnetic material disc on the back.
On the subject of tungsten carbide chains, as discussed on Friday, this may suit somebody, but you need the same size saw.

Paul its less about the saw and more about the drive sprocket and bar nose sprocket - these have to suit the 0.325" pitch chain.Quote:

Hi All,
I'm happy to do a shed tour this week unless someone else would prefer to have a go.

Once again I'm out.
It's Jools's birthday so at that time we will be on the road on the way to her bestie's place for lunch.
We are allowed to travel that far right now and they haven't seen each other since March, except for on Zoom, Facebook, Facetime etc. :rolleyes:
Have a great meeting.
Does she still have birthdays? Happy birthday.:bday3:
I’m probably not going to make the Chainsaw catch up,
Sorry [emoji6].
Cheers Matt.
Might be a quiet one.... be happy to see Lance's shed
till tomorrow
I want to see Lance's shed.
I will be there.
Regards
Paul

A very tidy and well sortout shed Lance.
Bob, can you please post the details about the new type of fluorescent bulbs you mentioned? I need some new ones, and would like to maximise the light output.
Because LED tech has pushed them into it, almost all of the new fluorescent (gas discharge tubes) are much more efficient these days and ALSO have a longer life than the older ones. If you already have newish fluoro fittings and are not worried bout running costs then you may get decent value for $ by just replacing the fluoro tubes.Quote:

BUT
Just putting new fluoros into old fittings with old ballasts might not save you any money as old ballasts will continue to chew unnecessary amounts of power.
Same problem when fitting LED tunes to older fluoro light fixtures. However in this case the Ballasts can be removed as they are not needed. Unless you know what you are doing this is best left to a sparky.
In this case cases it can work out cheaper to just buy completely new LED fittings.
I bought 30 AEG (made in china) LED tube replacements back in 2015 ($10 ea).
I see they are still available
GermanAEG LED T8 Light tube fluorescent 9W 18W 24W 60 120 150 cm COOL FROSTED | eBay
I use 20 of these tubes in the shed and most of the rest throughout the house. TI think I have one spare. One of the 30 has failed over that time and when I put the replacement in along side an existing one it was way to see that the used one ha definitely faded .
These are 105 Lumens/Watt but these days 120 or more Lumens/W is not unusual so I would look out for something better but cost will usually be higher.
BTW you should target about 750 lumens/m^2 (lux) for a workshop. One thing I do know is that just installing sufficient known Lumens worth of lighting for your shed area will not get you real lux on a work surface below the lights. You end up with less than half that.
1m above my electronics workbench bench I have 10,000 nominal lumens of installed lighting
BUT
On the bench I get about 2000 Lux

Thanks for the shed tour.
Hi All,
Is anyone keen to provide a shed tour tomorrow?
Otherwise we can just have a general "what have you been up to" chat. I'm sure the Victorians amongst us will be full of stories of travelling far and wide!

I'd like to brag about a couple new tools but whilst they have arrived in Canberra my son won't drop them off till Saturday :)
Unfortunately I will be travelling to work, well actually will be at work by 12, well I hope I am.
So probably won’t make it.
Cheers Matt.
I'll be helping a mate set up a radial arm saw tomorrow.
Count your fingers before and after :oo::rolleyes:Quote:
