And Tuart Too

Workbench World has long been

synonymous with jarrah workbenches

but is now branching out to suit

customer demand. The tuart top on

the bench shown here is as hard

as jarrah, but its blonde good looks

can make the work area lighter and

brighter. A large range of standard and

custom benches are offered or get in

touch to discuss your needs.

Your Turn?

A new arrival on the mini wood lathe scene is the

WL-14V with plenty of features and currently only

$539 from Hare & Forbes Machinery House. It has

EVS with digital readout, 356mm swing, 470mm

between centres, 0.75hp motor and reverse option

all within a solid build. Up-scale it with the optional

bed extension or stand and you could be looking at

your entry into the world of woodturning.

Lighten Up With LED

Good lighting can be one of the woodworker’s best tools when it

comes to accurate work. For bench work, the articulated lamp shown

in the centre will light up your wood world like no other – unless you up

the ante with the 3X magnifier shown on the left. For machine work a

gooseneck lamp with your choice of mounting is just the ticket. New

LED versions give brighter light for cooler and lower cost running.

Natural Shine

Frankincense, copal and myrrh are

just two of the exotic ingredients

of this solvent-free wax and resin

polish which nourishes wood and

builds to a glowing finish. Pure,

natural and pleasant smelling, a

tin will set you back around $21.
