Australian/New Zealand Luthiers Forum

It’s a bit hard to make out all the detail in the screenshot, but I think the difference between yours and mine is that I’ve only got two parentheses following C3/3, and the third one is moved to after C7/2.

Bruce, it might be your neutral axis calculation - I'm getting 0.0043333 for that?

Looks like you’re on the money. She appears to have a voracious appetite to splurge on her daughters...

Queensland Maple was first described/named by a German guy - Ferdinand von Mueller. He was one of Australia’s great botanists describing hundreds of species. He did end up becoming a Naturalised British subject in Australia, so we still have a tenuous option of giving the Brits some stick if we choo...

I can still use the iron but can you please advise me how a heat blanket works?
How is it heated?

It’s one of these electric jobs...

Still kicking, just not much woodworking lately. I’ve got a heap of half-finished projects in the cupboard that I’ll return to one day, mostly spending my time at kids-sports activities lately. While I only pop in occasionally these days, it is good to see what everyone is up to. Keep up the good wo...

I hope you like the new theme. I believe you can change it back to the old one in your profile somewhere if you don't like the new one. If someone wants to test it and let me know I'd appreciate it. I can always install a few more themes so you can personalise the look of the forum to something you...

"Imported articles need to be clean, free of bark, insects, soil or other contaminants (look for holes and sawdust as this may indicate that your article contains insect pests). "

Have you guys got a spring-loaded pin on yours? Not as good as two free hands, but it gives you a bit more room and control to slide the paper in.

As Shane mentioned, we dropped in on him for a visit back in August. I had originally asked him if he could point me in the right direction for a bit of bushwalking - I like the look of standing trees as well as what they look like on the inside. Any of you who have travelled through BC will already...

I've just spent this week working with the Incident Management Team looking after the eastern section of the State Mine fire that's been knocking on Eric and Sebastian's doors. I only dealt with the overnight updates to the fire maps, so haven't had to deal with any of the extreme conditions that th...

I've just run your data through my program and get much the same answer as you, Craig. So it seems that the Selmer guitars do have a very low effective mass! Your intermediate numbers look odd, though! It looks like K has been calculated in N/mm (instead of N/m) which in turn has modified m, which ...

Craig - I've just plugged your numbers in & I'm getting a result of 0.01156 s/kg (or, 11.56 x 10-3 s/kg). I get the same answer as you did if I leave the deflection in mm (instead of converting to metres). I reckon that the s refers to seconds (from pulling apart K 's Newtons into kg*metres/second^2...

The consensus on most of the woodworking forums seems to be that most of the mortising add ons for drill presses arent worth it and a dedicated mortiser is the go. Any comments would be appreciated. Sorry, this isn't going to help you Martin, but this guy's passionate review is pretty amusing: http...

Hey Eric - I bought mine from here: http://www.goreguitars.com.au/main/page ... _book.html. I've learnt enough to prevent alzheimers for another 150 years so far.

Well, it's good to have you back, but the thought of you hunched over your dining room table up in your mountain bunker assembling rocket engines (evil genius-style rather than backyard enthusiast) really appealed.

...my decision is to towards a completely different direction Now this does sound intriguing. Perhaps dressing up in a Batman costume & fighting crime? Building a rocket on your dining room table & getting to Mars before NASA? Getting one of those 3D printers and capturing the spare body-parts mark...

Hmmmm, $55.00 AUS on the Carbatec.AU site, go to the New Zealand site & it jumps to $77NZ :evil: Doing a currency conversion $55AUS comes to only $68NZ :shock: I know it's only a nine buck difference & I'll probably still get one,but I still get that feeling of being screwed again. Now where did I ...

Well, maybe there's two courses here, the one proposed at Bega and perhaps another up north. Have to say that Coffs is a lot closer to me than Brissie. Maybe the Brissie guys can head to Coffs, if Steve is able to host? Sorry, I'd love to be in a position to host, but I don't even have a shed. Happ...

I know that you were asking about Bega, but while everyone's talking about it, Brisbane's way closer and a more viable option for me too.

Thanks for keeping this going everyone, and sorry for not getting back. I took a holiday! Then there's all the other sh!t I've been having to deal with recently (nothing serious, just takes time). Anyway, there's about two days effort to go through all my workings again to check everything term by ...

...but then that's not upscaling to 60" Bloody hell, you've got your own cinema! We were pretty happy moving from a 49 cm CRT to a 42" flat-screen, so I'm not sure that we're at all familiar with the finer nuances of HD codecs while flicking through our music collection on the TV via our phone. Sou...

That was awesome Kim - thanks for the link. That Jimmy Page looks like one cool old cat. Not sure if it's of any interest at all, but our old telly blew up just after christmas & the new one that we got has wi-fi connectivity. It makes it really easy to watch Youtube directly on your TV. Our one is ...

Hey everyone! This is my first post so I'll get the intro out of the way: My name's Nate, I'm just a student builder in the second year of a luthiery program invading your board from the states (though I did live in Auckland for a time). I hope to stick around a while. Anyway. I've had the Gore/Gil...
