New Saw Blade Selection Guidelines
To help customers choose the perfect blade for their material and application, our new website includes a comprehensive Saw Blade Selection Guide. This resource breaks down:

  • Tooth count and configuration and how each affects finish and feed speed

These guidelines make it easier for both professionals and hobbyists to confidently choose the right blade for each job, reducing waste and improving results.

Router Bit Knowledge – Practical Technical Tips
A brand-new Router Bit Knowledge section offers practical, experience-backed guidance for using router bits safely and effectively. Highlights include:
1. Choosing the Right Router Bit

  • Straight bits for grooves, dados, and joinery
  • Flush-trim bits for template routing and laminate trimming
  • Profile bits (e.g., round-over, chamfer, ogee) for edge shaping
  • Spiral bits for cleaner cuts in hardwood, softwood, and composites

2. Correct Feed Direction and Speed
3. Pass Depth and Material Removal
This section empowers both beginners and seasoned tradespeople to get the most from their router bits while maintaining the standard of safety and precision that Linbide stands for.

The ultimate man cave

15 January 2026

It’s tempting to think of Gregor Kregar’s work space as the ultimate humongous man cave. The 410-square-metre studio in a gritty industrial area of Auckland’s New Lynn certainly has all the “boy’s toys” to make the most avid sheddie happy.
Vises, grinders, table saw and cut-off saw? Check. MIG and TIG welders and drill press? Check. Two electric and a gas-fired kiln? Check. You get the picture. This is a serious space set up to work on all manner of materials.

Video of Geraldine Military Museum military revival

16 December 2025

Two years ago, Don Pelvin set up the Military Museum in Geraldine as a retirement project.
He is pretty happy with how things are going, with an average of a thousand visitors a month, especially as his museum is one of six in the small South Canterbury town. He also organises the Rangitata Island Military Revival on the Saturday and Sunday of Labour weekend every year.
This is a combination of a display of military vehicles and gear, and reenactments of actions from WWI and WWII, and it all takes place at the Rangitata aerodrome, an airfield owned by a local farmer. About 50 reenactors turned up in their historically correct uniforms with their suitable weapons, after word had spread in the tight-knit military history world that the event was happening.

Woodwork: getting started (2)

20 November 2025

A home workshop is a special place and will function much better if you are able to plan how it is set out. My first workshop was in a single garage which was also the home of a very old Austin 7. As I bought machines, things became a little tricky. It was not that motivating on a winter’s evening, knowing I had to shift the Austin and re-arrange the workshop before I started. Our architect’s major renovation to our home included the redevelopment of my workshop area and from a single garage to a 9 m x 6 m workshop was a massive leap forward, even if it is shared with an MG.
