Episode 41 Wetstone Jigs and Stone Dressing The wetstone sharpeners are just one part of the system – the jigs that are available make it a very versatile machine. This video covers both some of the jigs that are available, as well as dressing the stone, so it is flat and parallel to the jig support arm. Episode 41 Wetstone Jigs and Stone Dressing
Episode 40 SawStop Some very impressive technology for the woodworking workshop. As seen demonstrated at the Melbourne Timber and Working with Wood Show, October 08. The buggers also give me a bit of stick while filming Thanks Brendan! Episode 40 SawStop at the Melbourne Wood Show

Episode 37 GMC 180mm Power Planer Keep an eye out for the magic couch, and the blooper track at the end…. I had an operator problem (forgot to turn on the vac), and had to reshoot some of the video. I don’t get paid enough to worry about perfect continuity…. Bloody good tool though! For $199 it’d make a great Father’s Day present. Episode 37 GMC 180mm Power Planer

Stusshed-Episode28TourOfTheShedDuringUpgrade Tour of the Shed during the recent upgrades, so this is a look at Stu’s Shed 1.7 When we finally get to 2.0 (in another 5 years or so), I might do another one then! Also includes a look back at a very short video tour I did a few years ago, well before Stu’s Shed became….
Stusshed-Episode27NoiseInTheWorkshop Noise in the Workshop. This is part of Safety Week 2008, and is a brief discussion about the noise produced by different machines in the workshop.
Stusshed-Episode26SafetyWeek2008Introduction Introduction to Safety Week on the Wood Whisperer Network 2008 A quick introduction and discussion about personal safety equipment, not only using it, but ensuring that the solution actually works for you so that you actually use the equipment when needed, rather than leaving it sitting on the shelf as being too cumbersome or uncomfortable to bother using. Also too – the first (brief) look inside Stu’s Shed 1.7 as it continues to undergo its physical ...
Stusshed-Episode25WatercooledGrindingStone This episode looks at watercooled grinding stones, such as the Triton, Scheppach and Tormek. In this instance, a $A199 Triton Wetstone Sharpener is used to produce an edge on a plane blade of HSS. It also happens to be the last video shot in the old shed, so a bit of nostalgia there!
Stusshed-Episode24ToolMaintenanceCastIron Episode 24 Tool Maintenance Cast Iron and Sanders For anyone not living in absolute ideal conditions, cast iron is not only magnetic, but “magnetically” attracts rust to it, and so it is important to both protect against rust, and be able to remove any ‘infection’ as soon as it starts.
Stusshed-SSYTCNostalgiaAnEarlyWoodworkingVideo SSYTC002 Nostalgia Going though some old files, and came across this 7 second clip of a modification I made to the GMC thicknesser. Guess this actually qualifies as my first woodworking video (despite its short length).I’d forgotten the clip even existed! Not sure of its vintage – probably 2004 – 2005. Not that long ago, and look how online video quality has improved...

Stusshed-Episode22Triton15inThicknesserMoulding Episode 22 Triton 15in Thicknesser – Moulding This is the third of three videos looking at the new Triton 15in Thicknesser. This installment shows in detail using the unit to make a moulding. A fourth video looking at fitting an aftermarket digital height gauge will be available in the near future.
Stusshed-Episode21TritonThicknesserMouldingBlades Episode 21 Triton 15in Thicknesser – Fitting Moulding Blades This is the second of three videos looking at the new Triton 15in Thicknesser. This installment shows in detail the fitting of the moulding blades.

Stusshed-Episode19RaisedPanelBit Raised Panel Bit. To complement the rail and stile bit featured last month, the raised panel bit is used to produce the panel that fits into the frame created by the rail and stile. The result is a very traditionally styled raised panel, used for cupboard doors, drawer fronts, and even the sides of some types of furniture.
Stusshed-Episode18RailAndStileStackedBit Stacked Rail and Stile Router Bit. As discussed very recently on Stu’s Shed, this is a very impressive router bit, and has sold me on the concept of stacked rail and stile bits, rather than having two separate matched bits to perform the same job.
Stusshed-Episode17DressingTimber Episode 17 Dressing Timber. In this episode, we are having a look at dressing timber so that it is flat/straight and square, ready for a project. In this case, we are using some reclaimed Jarrah from an old deck, but the principle is the same if you are preparing timber that is DAR (dressed all round) from a timber yard, or hardware supply shop, or even if you have prepared your own board from raw timber. DAR stock can still have warps, cupping and twists, so it ...
Stusshed-Episode16TheRouterTable Episode 16 The Router Table. The router is an incredibly versatile tool, capable of many, many tasks. One method of using the router is to mount it underneath a table, so the router bit is exposed, and bringing the workpiece to the router, rather than the other way around. This video looks at using the router table, using the router table fence as well as bearinged versus unbearinged router bits. It is a followup to the blog post on Stu’s Shed “So just what is a ...
Stusshed-Episode15MetalDetection Episode 15 Metal Detection in Reclaimed Timber I came across this security device recently and to all intents and purposes, it is exactly the same as the metal detectors sold in woodworking shops (for 2 – 3 times as much). This video is a brief look at the detector in action (plus some traps for young players (myself included)). For more info, see the post on http://www.stusshed.com “A Win for the Good Guys”...
Stusshed-Episode14EEqualsMCSquare Episode 14 E=mc Square. Squares (or tri-squares) are an essential part of every toolbox. In this episode, we have a brief look at various types of squares, from the cheapest through to some superb versions that are available. We also look at how to test a square for accuracy before buying it. Particularly featured is Incra’s Guaranteed Square , available from Professional Woodworker Supplies . Their guarantee is that the angular accuracy, from heel to toe of thi...
