I have been looking forward to seeing some of your new content as i have only recently found your channel and I'm currently working my way through your older videos. In particular i loved the "WTF is x wood" vids and would love to see more particularly of Eastern States woods that we don't have access to here in WA. Since our state government is phasing out logging here i am certain that soon we will be importing some of those species here.
They have not! They're not even responding to support tickets, having closed the first one after 2 weeks and no response. I should do an update video on that today or tomorrow.
Hey Paul, you missed that both Queensland and Victoria are named for the same person! Now I knew that Vic Ash and Tas Oak are the same thing, but the Messmate I have seems to be totally different. It's a deeper, slightly yellower brown, and is very ... splintery. Any idea what gives there?
It was a bit of glossing over it on my behalf! Vic Ash = E. delegatensis + E. regnans Tas Oak = E. delegatensis + E. regnans + E. obliqua Messmate = E. obliqua *most of the time*, but there are a bunch of variations of messmate (yellow messmate, gympie messmate, red messmate, etc) which are all different eucalyptus.
We also have a state called South Australia, as well as a Northern Territory. Western Australia also doesn't get Tassie Oak/Vic Ash sold in Bunnings as a construction timber. Only as dowels, quads and other small mouldings.
I know it has well past, but Sorry for the loss of your Mum. Bunnings used to sell Tas Oak here in Perth but has been absent for quite awhile. ( I do like it). I remember it from some of your very early projects. Too late, but yes, the 6mm threaded dowel was a bit more work than needed. I hope you get the stock sold. OK. onward and upward 🤪
"Bluey" was a nickname for redheads in Australia. It seems that the origins of that are not clear, but one story is that when red-headed Irishmen arrived on the gold fields in the 1860s, they would often have a blue (another bit of Australian slang, for a fight) with someone, and so they were dubbed blueys. Another story is that it's just irony: why not call a redhead bluey? So perhaps that's why the red Sydney Bluegum is called that? The use of blue for red was taken up by Richard Branson when he started an airline in Australia 24 years ago. It's now Virgin Australia, but originally it was named Virgin Blue, because the aeroplanes were painted red.
it seemed funny at the time is the best reason to do stuff in woodworking :D

The great thing about botanical nomenclature, all plants have their own unique individual names, unlike common names that are interchangeable.
Octagonalized.... Love it. Great video mate, just sad they sold out too quickly for me to try and incorporate it into my workbench build though :(
Good to close this chapter Paul. Did the website that shall not be named eventually send the dollarydoos through?

ahh that makes sense. In the way that it makes very little sense. Why oh why didn't they just give things unique names??

I loved the method to oil the threads of the twirly - or was that the whirly? Fun video as always =)
I spent a whole week searching for these moxin vise screws. None available in US.

What's this "inch" thing you were talking about???? We're metric mate lol
The tooling is only available in imperial sizing, unfortunately :)
