A round-up of tools and products to take notice of.

Aussie-Made River Resin

Recently released and made in Australia, LuciClear casting
resin is formulated for crystal clear results. Bubble free
castings 75mm or more deep can be done in a single pour
making it well suited to river style tables, and for embedding
objects. Low temperature rise means it won’t harm objects or
timber edges. Low viscosity and low surface tension ensure
effective encapsulation while UV absorbers will minimise
yellowing due to UV exposure. LuciClear is available in small
to large quantities and has been developed by Boatcraft
Pacific, Queensland manufacturers of adhesives, finishes and
supplies for boat builders. For information and advice call 07
3806 1944 or head to

The Wonderful Wizard

Lumber Wizard 5 is the latest model of a
metal detecting wand that can save many
times more than its $215 worth by preventing
damage to planer and thicknesser blades.
Version 5 now has ‘automatic tuning’ which is
set when literally a green light goes on. Even
better is the laser-line beam that flashes when
metal is detected. Chalk that line in, then turn
the wand 90° to mark another – the resulting
crosshairs now pinpoint the metal you want
to avoid. Available from Woodcraft Supplies,
