Re: Antipodean Boats Connection

I've discovered at least two things I don't like about my Metabo tablesaw. The lockdown lever on the fence has a plastic cap on the end...it fell off.
The dust extraction system is a narrow plastic case enclosing the lower half of the blade. Thin offcuts fall in and block the outflow.

Crowther Super Shockwave 37. She was originally built for Lock Crowther himself. Won a B2G back in the 80s and then spent 25 plus years with one owner moored in Hardy’s Bay, Brisbane Waters. So sad for Wahoo to end it’s days like this on Yamba Bar. Skipper was rescued and ok.

Is it glass and foam? It seems to have broken into sections rather than being pulverised

What you see is what I know. The breakup looks a bit odd to me, it's like someone took a chainsaw to it.

Dragged out the 1/2" router today and blew the dust off of it. Once I worked out which direction to turn the chuck I fit the round-over bit and fine-turned the depth setting on some scrap. It's going to get a fair bit of use tomorrow.

Speaking of Port Philip Bay.
A lucky escape for those two blokes.

It didn't get as much use as I would have liked. While changing the cutter I bumped the cut on my hand and opened it up again. I've used steristrips this time. Tomorrow is only sanding and some gluing so I should be fine...he said.

I think I'm going to have to take it easy for a few days, this hand is bloody sore. Excrement!
