Well it was a sort of productive weekend with a sour ending... After cleaning out the garage last weekend, this weekend was prime time to assemble the L98. Lots of cleaning, cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning of parts. Bottom end has been measured, and crank bolted in place with fresh ARP...

New waterjet cut flange for the drill press arrived late friday :bounce: I may have quoted the wrong inside diameter and had to hog the diameter out a little on the late. Due to the wild swings in heat the paint has dried fairly horribly in general on the drill press, i will probably sand it...

This is getting a little creepy mate....first the lathe now the drill press...and waldon grinders...I'm starting to wonder if i'm adopted haha :headscrat How do you find your press? Curious what chuck are you running? Mine has a fairly worn Rexon RJ3-16H I'm thinking of replacing it with a...

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all! Updates from some QST i had over the holidays :) Arthurs seat eagle I'm not sure if i ever posted this project a while ago. I started building a play table for my niece's over 2 years ago. With the plan of integrating some storage for play toys...

Quick update pre christmas! Thicknesser has received new rollers, working perfect now! (I've spent way too much on this thing) Front drawer faces are jointed and glued. Far too easy to joint with the long hand plane, considering selling my planer/jointer it's that much more satisfying by hand...

Been busy as always! started welding up a frame to add some additional tie downs to the Amarok Using the existing tie down points to mount it and various existing holes Only had to cut a little bit of the tub liner to make it squeeze in some colour coded paint and came up alright! I...

Congrats on the lathe! Looks the same age and possibly even model as mine. Is it a 10ssb? Or 12? Herless or other Taiwanese branded? Let me know if you want pics of the manual.

Hah seeing pictures of the tower bring back memories! I volunteered to help scrutineer for the local hill climb there years ago. 3+ cars ended upside down or crushed into the wall! Was an interesting weekend to say the least

Small update L98 block has been dropped off with all the rotating assembly at my local machine shop for balancing/boring :bounce: They're pretty busy at the moment so might not get it back for a few weeks. Currently still working on ensuite renovations so haven't had much quality garage time...

It’s roadkill expert I believe Buy online if I were you https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183274845969 I bought it from a local car audio shop but after checking ebay I got ripped off :( I think I paid 180 for not even a complete box!

Alright time for the 3 month update, busy as always, starting new projects as always :wtf: The amarok has had some love lately, put in a set of LED headlights for both DRL, low and high beams. Definately not legal but on a level playing field with newer cars. Made an amazing difference at night...

Haha I can understand a visit to bunnings is more like a religious experience these days. The key thing here is Bunnings 99% of the time will have stock. But with stores like SCA,Repco and Autobarn I can’t count the number of times recently I’ve visited and the product shown on their website is...

Despite the new laws i doubt it will make an impact on the declining sales locally. Many retail shops simply dont sell enough volume to compete with online sites. Also does anyone know what happens if the overseas company doesnt sign up for the GST? how will they ensure freight forwarders will...

Re: 41' x 24' 3 car upsize, Houston Tx - 5/2 Concrete Pour Oh my....that welding table setup is awesome!!. Where did you get the table from? Keep up the good work

Haha twobytes, yeah I have exactly the same one. I walked in planning to buy the cheapest model and walked out with the second most expensive. What really was strange is the more expensive makita 3709x has a plastic casing, with a plastic height adjustment rack, less power and no speed...

Wow it's been a while since an update. it's becoming prime QST time of the year! Alright here's a brief run down of the past few months There were some major delays one friday night coming back from the big smoke, here's a late winter sunset: Next project is a bit of a fun one....a outdoor...
