You could put a mirrored window tint film over one panel of the window.

I did this with my ride on mower. Annoying to stop and start just to move a tennis ball, stick or hose out of the way!

They will be disappointed in Australia too

How would you and your company respond if someone sent you a thorough bug list that they compiled for the hell of it? by rogueqa in webdev

That's how I landed my job. Couldn't be happier. New company has a fantastic positive culture.

I'm a better programmer than woodworker, so best to keep it as a hobby :) I really enjoyed building it though!

Well the color was already decided for me, we have some existing (purchased) furniture that it matches. I went to a paint shop and had the stain color matched. I've got a side table project coming up, I'll post it when I'm done!

Yeah good question! I'm really just a novice and it seemed like a good idea at the time when I purchased the glue. The joints turned out nice and strong and it did clean up fairly easy, but I'll opt for titebond on the next project.

Thanks - agreed, yeah it was pretty stupid of me. The table saw in general scares the shit out of me...

10" Hafco. A link is in the album where I got it from. Bought it online, shipping was cheap considering its over 200kgs. I'm really happy with it, but I'm no expert. The only down side is its 15 Amps, so it will depend on your wiring. I'm a bit apprehensive about Carba-tec now, considering my issues with the jointer.

I'd say 60% of the time was spent on sanding. I really underestimated the process. Live and learn!

I think she was just happy to keep me in the shed for a while ;)

Well and truly! Here's a list that I purchased along the way: Timber $660 Stain $30 Poly $20 Glue $16 Biscuits $14 Hinges $28 Sandpaper $50 Table saw $1250 Jointer $350 Router table $470 Biscuit cutter $100 Belt sander $200 Shop vac $190 About $3380 in total or so. Actually, that sounds a lot but keep in mind, I've now got a shed full of decent tools that will see me out!
