To our Valued Customers,<br />
Welcome to the first Focus Magazine for 2011. This edition is packed with products to inspire you and give you ideas for<br />
the woodworking year ahead. We have included some items from our new range as well as some old favourites. Our new<br />
catalogue is looking good and is well on the way to being finished. For updates on its progress, keep an eye on our website.<br />
In 2011, Focus will continue to bring you stories about people and woodworking, customer profiles, projects and reviews<br />
on our products.<br />
What is it about working with wood that captivates some of us for an entire lifetime? It’s partly the beauty of the raw material<br />
and the satisfaction of creating something real that you can stand before and say, “I made that”. There is also the<br />
personal challenge that drives you to improve your woodworking skills and learn new techniques.<br />
I was recently demonstrating a dovetail jig in our Brisbane store and two men who had been watching me started talking<br />
to each other about their respective projects. There was no awkwardness between these strangers, their shared interest<br />
in woodworking easily broke the ice and before long they were chatting like old friends. One of them had more experience<br />
as a woodworker than the other and I noticed how generous he was with his information. He wasn’t guarded about sharing<br />
his knowledge at all.<br />
This is a pretty typical scenario that can be seen in <strong>Carba</strong>-<strong>Tec</strong> ® stores throughout the country. There is a real sense of<br />
camaraderie amongst woodworkers and those little tips that are passed on can really help you to progress as well.<br />
With this in mind our Focus readers are invited to send in their favourite woodworking tips or tricks. The ones we feel will<br />
be of the most use to fellow woodworkers will be posted on our website.<br />
Email your contributions to focus@carbatec.com.au or post them to our Brisbane store address on the back of this<br />
publication.You can include photographs if you wish. If we choose to post your submission on our website we will only publish<br />
your name and the state that you live in.<br />
Happy Woodworking<br />

Without masking tape<br />
“<strong>Place</strong> a strip of masking tape<br />
around the ends of your timber when<br />
cutting dovetails on a router-based<br />
dovetail jig.”<br />
I can’t remember where this tip came<br />
from, I think it was an old Fine<br />
Woodworking Magazine originally,<br />
but it’s one of the simplest and most<br />
effective tips I have ever been given.<br />
I’ve used just about every form of<br />
dovetail jig there is. One thing that<br />
they all have in common is that the<br />
router bit is inclined to chip the timber<br />
out when you’re cutting dovetails.<br />
This can be very severe with some<br />
timbers and can destroy the effect of<br />
your perfect dovetails. It’s usually<br />
worse when cutting through<br />
dovetails, as you can’t do a climbing<br />
cut along the face to reduce the<br />
chipping out as you do with halfblind<br />
dovetails.<br />
Even if you still get some fibres<br />
chipping out they will stick to the<br />
masking tape and you can keep<br />
them and glue them back into place.<br />
Without the tape they end up lost in<br />
a pile of sawdust on the workshop<br />
floor.<br />
You will get a bit of a sticky build up<br />
on your router bit after a while, but<br />
this can be removed with mineral<br />
turps. Don’t use a fabric-based tape<br />
such as gaffer tape because the bit<br />
won’t cut through it easily. <strong>Masking</strong><br />
tape is definitely the best.<br />
With masking tape
Customer Profile: Roy Schack<br />
It’s easy to think, when you wade through the mountains of<br />
homeware and furniture products available across the<br />
country, that craftsmanship is something of a myth. A quaint<br />
concept belonging to a bygone era.<br />
However, Australia has a vibrant culture of professional<br />
woodworkers who produce exceptional quality studio<br />
furniture pieces. Many of them have opened their workshops<br />
to people wanting something more than a DIY level of<br />
woodworking skill. These people are looking to achieve<br />
excellence and learn traditional woodworking skills.<br />
Roy Schack is a fine woodworker who lives and works in<br />
Samford Valley near Brisbane. He runs The Brisbane<br />
School of Fine Woodwork, where he guides his students<br />
through all aspects of woodworking, from the correct use of<br />
hand tools and machinery to understanding timber,<br />
construction and design.<br />
Standing in his workshop located in a beautiful rural setting,<br />
I can’t imagine a more suitable environment to learn fine<br />
woodworking. Roy encourages his students to feel at home<br />
here and whilst they are attending classes, this becomes<br />
their workshop too. The students are from all walks of life<br />
and age groups and at least half are women. This is a<br />
gentle environment conducive to learning and creativity, a<br />
respite from the busy, noisy lives that many of them lead.<br />
Roy Schack wasn’t always a woodworker. A desire for a<br />
career change from merchant banking in 1993 led him to<br />
undertake a course in Town Planning.Whilst working on an<br />
assignment in the Mitchell Library in Sydney, he wandered<br />
into an exhibition of fine woodwork by the members of<br />
The Woodworkers’ Association of New South Wales. The<br />
‘For Tomorrow’ exhibition proved somewhat of a revelation.<br />
“I realised that some people do this for a living”, he had<br />
always thought of woodwork as a hobby. It was an epiphany<br />
of sorts: he knew for the first time in his life, what he wanted<br />
to do. Four months later, he was a student at the Sturt<br />
School for Wood.<br />
As you’re making a piece, fall in love<br />
with it and realise that near enough<br />
is not good enough.<br />

Roy studied under the late Tom Harrington, a person who<br />
had been an enormous influence on his work. Tom’s<br />
approach was to “keep it simple” and concentrate on the<br />
quality of the design and construction and not the “wow<br />
factor”.This advice struck a real chord and underpins Roy’s<br />
approach to both his own work and his teaching.<br />
For many of us, woodworking can be an impenetrable<br />
jungle of complicated mishaps and hours spent bringing our<br />
projects back from the brink of disaster. Roy tries to navigate<br />
around all of this noise. He distils his knowledge and relates<br />
it’s essence to students without them feeling bogged down<br />
or overloaded.<br />
He says that an important element for him when teaching,<br />
is that the students are able to trust in his ability to be able<br />
to help them find solutions to the problems they encounter.<br />
“It’s one thing to get an idea across, but to teach the<br />
students enough so they can start to teach themselves is<br />
another thing”.<br />
In his own work, it’s obvious he has a real affinity for the<br />
process, the material and the tools. The timber he uses in<br />
his furniture maintains the purity of its natural state. It never<br />
feels far from the tree. Roy has produced many fine studio<br />
furniture pieces that have featured in various Australian and<br />
international exhibitions. He is a member of the ‘MADE’<br />
group, a diverse collection of makers and designers in<br />
Queensland who are committed to raising the profile of<br />
studio furniture makers. Each year in Brisbane, the group<br />
stages an exhibition showcasing its work.<br />

There are not<br />
many things as<br />
rewarding as being<br />
able to custom make<br />
your own tools. Our<br />
Brisbane staff member, Gerry<br />
Coon, spent a wet weekend in<br />
the workshop and tried out our<br />
Veritas Spokeshave kits.<br />
I had a wonderful weekend in the shed working<br />
out the wooden spokeshave kits by Veritas.They are<br />
available in two imperial sizes. Blade lengths available<br />
are 1 7 ⁄8” (50mm) for the small one and a massive 2 3 ⁄4”<br />
(70mm) for the large one. Both are equipped with threaded<br />
thumbwheels and lock nuts for precise height adjustment, a tap for<br />
threading the thumbwheel and an A2 steel blade.Veritas also supply<br />
comprehensive instructions with the kit.<br />
For Gerry’s step by step instructions on how to make one of these beautiful<br />
spokeshaves go to www.carbatec.com.au<br />

Setting up a<br />
Lock Mitre Bit<br />
.Router bits open up a world of joinery possibilities. There are hundreds of joints<br />
that can be cut using them, but some are more approachable than others. <strong>Of</strong> all the<br />
router bits that we stock, the large CMT TM lock mitre bit can be one of the most<br />
daunting to use and is tricky to set up. However, the joint it creates is virtually<br />
indestructible and can be used both as a means to join mitres and parallel glue joints.<br />
It is excellent for use on solid timber and man-made products like MDF as it gives<br />
you enormous glue surface area.<br />
Although the instructions sound simple, experience tells us that there are a few<br />
things that are helpful to know. Firstly, it’s essential that your router table is flat and<br />
the fence is at 90° to the table surface. Like any mitre that you cut, everything must<br />
be square. I recommend using a fence of about 150mm in height for support. As<br />
this is a very large diameter bit, it is best to run it on a low speed, around 10,000<br />
RPM. If the bit is running well and you feel the cut could be a bit cleaner, it can be<br />
increased a fraction but err on the side of caution. Don’t machine timber that’s too<br />
narrow. Cut it wider and rip it down after machining. The vertical pass, particularly,<br />
can be very dangerous on narrow stock.<br />
Mark the centre of your material with a marking gauge, (Fig. 2) this mark needs to<br />
be lined up to the centre of the bit as is shown in Fig. X. This can be a bit difficult<br />
as the bit centre is located about half way along the bottom of the cutter finger. A<br />
height gauge is useful for pinpointing the centre although you will still find there is<br />
a degree of trial and error involved so be prepared to make a few sample cuts. Once<br />
you have your lock mitre joint how you want it, keep your sample as a set-up block<br />
for that material thickness next time.<br />
Mark out the sides of your box with the most decorative sides facing out (Fig. 1).<br />
The A pieces are machined horizontally with the face up. The B pieces are<br />
machined vertically against the fence with the face out. (Figs. 4 & 5)<br />
Don’t try and machine the full profile in a single pass.Three to four smaller passes<br />
will give you a cleaner cut and is much safer as there is a lot less resistance against<br />
the material than with larger cuts.The depth of cut is controlled by moving the fence<br />
out, away from the cutter to increase the amount being removed.<br />
Once the full lock mitre joint is cut check it for accuracy, you will probably need to<br />
adjust the height a fraction. If the horizontally cut piece (A) is too forward, raise the<br />
router bit by about half the error. Lower it if the vertically cut piece (B) is prominent.<br />
To cut parallel glue joints (Fig.Y) the set-up is the same, but all timber is cut in the<br />
‘A’ position, flat on the table surface.The joints are then matched by reversing them<br />
to one another. Be mindful that the first piece is machined with the face edge up,<br />
but the second cut is with the<br />
face edge down.<br />
Fig.Y<br />
After some initial trial and error,<br />
the lock mitre bit is sure to<br />
become a much-used addition<br />
to your tool cupboard.<br />

A Perfect Match<br />
by Tony Forbes<br />
A large number of hand held power tools that create dust<br />
and shavings have a small diameter dust port. When<br />
attaching extraction to them, it’s possible to reduce from<br />
your large dust extractors with 100mm diameter hoses,<br />
to the smaller dust outlets on your power tools. The<br />
problem with this is that a lot of air pressure is lost. This<br />
effect is similar to you trying to take deep fast breaths<br />
through a long drinking straw. There is only a certain<br />
amount of air that will fit through the opening of the straw<br />
no matter how much power you put into blowing. Using<br />
your large dust extractors for smaller machines is an<br />
inefficient use of their capacity.<br />
A better solution is a portable workshop vacuum that can<br />
be directly connected to your power tools such as;<br />
sanders, biscuit jointers and even router tables. The<br />
INOX-36 shop vac is specifically designed for this<br />
purpose. The full range of accessories that come with<br />
the INOX-36 also make it perfect for general cleaning in<br />
the workshop, house or car.<br />
These accessories include:<br />
• Stainless Steel Barrel<br />
• Wet/Dry operation with tip over safety cut-out<br />
• 1400 Watt motor<br />
• Tool triggered (Max. 800W) auto switch with<br />
manual override<br />
• Huge 5m long hose<br />
• Two piece stainless handle<br />
• Hard floor/carpet head<br />
• Small vacuum head<br />
• Wet surface head<br />
• Crevice tool<br />
The <strong>Carba</strong>-<strong>Tec</strong>® Dust Deputy is a cyclonic pre-separator<br />
designed to connect to your shop vac to increase its<br />
efficiency by trapping dust in the barrel and not in the<br />
vacuum. The Dust Deputy will capture 99% of the<br />
sanding dust that is extracted.<br />
A cyclonic system works in two stages. In the first stage,<br />
the dust is drawn into the top section or canister and is<br />
flung to the outside where it spirals down into the<br />
collection bucket. In the second stage, the air is then<br />
drawn into the vacuum cleaner where the remaining fine<br />
particles are captured by the vacuum filter. This process<br />
reduces the number of times you need to empty your<br />
shop vac and enables it to maintain a more consistent<br />
airflow. The life of your filters is also significantly<br />
increased.<br />
Together, the INOX-36 Industrial Dust Extractor and the<br />
<strong>Carba</strong>-<strong>Tec</strong>® Dust Deputy are a formidable team when it<br />
comes to keeping your workshop dust free.<br />
Dust Deputy saves wear<br />
and tear on vacuum filters<br />
The Inox-36 and<br />
Dust Deputy are<br />
ideal for router<br />
table extraction<br />
The Dust<br />
Deputy is easily<br />
connected to the<br />
Inox-36<br />

It is unusual to visit a fine woodworker’s workshop and not find some<br />
Japanese saws (nokogiri) hanging on the tool rack. For people who<br />
haven’t encountered them, Jan Schilling offers some advice on using and<br />
selecting these distinctive tools.<br />
Japanese saws work very differently to western-style saws, their teeth<br />
are set in the opposite direction and the cut is made by pulling the saw<br />
towards the user. Because the cut is made on the upstroke with the blade<br />
in tension, the metal in the blades can be very thin.This leaves you with<br />
a very fine kerf (width of cut).<br />
In Japan, woodworkers traditionally work on tatami mats on the floor at<br />
a planing board, which is a multi-functional small flat bench with a<br />
sliding dovetail stop. These saws can be used in a sitting or standing<br />
position.<br />
Using a Japanese saw is a little different to the western-style tenon saw.<br />
To begin with you start your cut with the back of the blade not the tip.<br />
(Otherwise there is nothing to pull). As with a tenon saw you can use your<br />
thumb to guide the saw, however, be aware that the blade is really sharp<br />
and if it jumps it will leave a jagged cut on your finger. I have one to show<br />
for my carelessness. Angle the blade a little towards the stock and do<br />
not grip the very front of the handle, but hold it a bit further back.<br />
Saw gently, steadily and with only a little pressure, too much of either<br />
and you’ll wander off course. Also do not suddenly exert pressure or bend<br />
the blade or you’ll loose a few teeth and have a saw that will not cut<br />
perfectly straight.<br />
A tip if you are having trouble sawing straight is to draw a line both front<br />
and back of the stock, set a mirror behind the stock and as you saw,<br />
watch the blade and the line at the back of the stock and adjust your hold<br />
on the saw as necessary – works a treat.<br />
Generally Japanese saws have changeable blades. The teeth are too<br />
fine and the metal too hard to sharpen as you would western saws. If<br />
used with care though, you can easily get a couple of years out of a<br />
blade; depending on the amount of work you are doing and the hardness<br />
of your timber.<br />
Changing a blade is a simple matter of tapping the back front edge of<br />
the blade against a hardwood block. You will then be able to detach it<br />
easily.When you have inserted the new blade, tap it again, only this time<br />
with the spine of the saw – it is similar to putting a broom head on a<br />
handle.<br />
