The Torque around Town

Is that Friday’s the day. The workcentre is at the courier dist centre and will be loaded onto the express Melbourne-bound truck this evening.
Can’t wait- already have a half-dozen jobs lined up for it – a number for this weekend! Going to have to do a pretty rapid build/assembly, so it is great that [...]

Viva la Revolution

Back early 2006 (or early 2007 in the US), one of many revolutions in woodworking occurred, with the arrival on the scene of the Festool Domino. It caused quite a furor at the time! I was quite busy at the time as a moderator on a large woodworking forum, and if you could exchange blows [...]

Friday is the day (I think)
