Rockler and the Roving Reporter

Stu’s Shed’s unofficial roving reporter got over to the USA recently, and had an opportunity to get to the Rockler Store (lucky bugger).
So I now have a new cap and a very interesting catalog (deliberate use of US spelling ) from their store.
It kind of looks like a magazine from the [...]

A nostalgic look at the Triton Club’s final page

Here lies:
RIP.
At one stage, this site I created and ran was the largest Triton-based website in the world.  A huge amount of work and energy went into creating and running it (although it pales in comparison to the amount of time involved in Stu’s Shed!)  I created it firstly as a single page on the [...]

New products from MagSwitch & Lidwig

A bit more on the new products out there, and these have pretty much gone straight into use in the workshop – solutions to problems I have been working around without even realising it!
The first is more using the current items in different ways.  Working from left to right, I have my MagPowerBoard – a [...]

Episode 40 SawStop at the Melbourne Wood Show

Latest from MagSwitch

I had these air freighted to me from the States (almost) in time for the show ( I had them there for Saturday and Sunday)
There are a few more products in the extended range as well, and all (I hope) will be around before Christmas.
This is the packaging of the combo kit, although the items [...]

Photos from the Show

A few quick snaps taken around the place on the Thursday afternoon before the show opened

Melbourne Woodshow Wrapup

Trying something new – polls are now available in my blogging software, so that’s very cool – will have some more interesting polls in future, but this is a good test one to get the ball rolling.
As to the show, I had a blast.  Feeling a little weary today, and my voice has gotten rather [...]

The 200,000

Somehow or other, we have a tie, and both with photographic evidence to prove it.  I guess the counters don’t work as fast as you guys (and girls) hit the site
As to the winners, I have photographic evidence from both Will and Kevin (you know who you are) that you were the 200,004th [...]

Rumour has it….

(and this is COMPLETELY unsubstantiated), that the Triton arm of GMC has been sold as of Thursday.  Buyer and price unknown.  However, I have absolutely no confirmation that this is true (yet), so it may all be wrong.  Of course, it may also all be right too………
Rumours, rumours…….

Melbourne Wood Show, Day 1

Great day at the show – had a blast!
Demoing went ok, need to work out how to draw more of a crowd.  At least tomorrow there is a bit more of interest in the MagSwitch stuff, as in a box right beside me at the moment, I have some of the absolute latest offerings that [...]

Are YOU the 200,000th visitor to Stu’s Shed?

As we rapidly approach the 200,000th visitor to Stu’s Shed (and no, my visits do not get counted!), are you the 200,000th? (It will be sometime between now and about Monday evening – currently averaging around 900/day) (If you are not exact, but within a few, give it a try – the closest entry I [...]

Melbourne Wood Show, Day 0

My head is buzzing – I LOVE the wood show!  So much to see, so many people to get to chat to, and you get to find out so much too just by listening to the presentations etc.  My first wood show that I went to (a few years ago now), I came away dumbfounded [...]
