Engineering Tools

Lathe Tools Hands up who has a good knowledge of engineering tools or lathe tools for example. I for one sure as anything don’t. But I am on a fast learning curve. You would think that it might be because i have been renovating my house, but to do that i did not need any diamond tools or micrometers or anything like that were necessary there. Machine Tools Engineering tools are more like machining tools. Big heavy things or small accurate things usually. Like a boring head set, or a collet chuck set. Sounds all a bit unusual. I understand. Not many people know what these things are. You probably need to be an engineer. So next time someone asks for the vernier calipers, don’t accidentally pass them the tungsten carbide inserts, if you know what i mean.  Read More →

Sculpture Design and Corten Screens

Decorative Corten Screens and other Sculptures Many Australian people are making their homes more and more well designed and decorated. This is including things such as decorative screens, often made from hard wearing corten steel, and other garden sculptures. There are often two options when installing such a centrepiece or feature, and that is to get one custom made or bought off the shelf. It is similar with more popular garden decorations such as water features. You can have one made just how you want, or buy one from somewhere like Bunnings or a garden shop. The main difference is price and maybe the quality of materials used to make your item. Another popular trend in sign making is also heading towards corten. This hard wearing, sometimes rusted looking steel can be shaped and cut to almost any shape. This along with it’s durability is why people are using it to make custom signage and laser cut decorative screens in restaurants, bars, hotels and also in upmarket homes. There... [Read more]

Window Cleaning

Window Cleaning Melbourne When people are searching for a service such as window cleaning in Melbourne, do they search that on Google or do they narrow it down and search for window cleaning Prahran, say or another suburb they are in such as window cleaning balwyn, window cleaning kew or other suburbs. This is something we have been looking into a lot for a variety of home service providers and trades people. For us, we think it is well worth it to advertise your business in many suburbs, for example window cleaning south yarra, or window cleaning middle park, so that you can target people living in different areas as a local provider. When I hired a window cleaning Richmond based business, I found out that they were actually a window cleaning kooyong service that likes to work in my area. They were clever to market that way because I might not have found them otherwise and could have chose a window cleaning ivanhoe business instead.  Read More →

Modern Cloth Nappies

Reusable Cloth Nappies I am a parent of one two year old who is just getting out of nappies. Which is something I never thought could be such an awesome thing a few years ago. The only dampener is that my wife is also having another baby in a few months so the cycle will then restart again. But this time we have decided to use modern cloth nappies, instead of the old style. For us an environmentally friendly nappy is very important. We don’t want to use disposable nappies, except for the one our new baby will wear to bed when he or she is a little older. With our first child we went through a lot of plastic pilchers and also the clips that hold the old style cloth nappy together. It was not such a problem of the cost of these things, as they are quite cheap, but the hassle. If the clip for example broke at a friends house, we didn’t have a spare. And they would always get lost amongst the other stuff on the change table and you would have to find them while holding a baby... [Read more]
