Any chance of you taking a picture head on into the gate with the iris open, partially open and closed? Any fears of debris clogging the iris? Pete

Yellow I wish you would resize your pictures to a smaller size. The all take at least 30 to 60 seconds each to download for viewing. On a monitor there is no reason to have a picture that is over a few hundred kilobytes. When they are megabytes in size those of us on slower services give up...

I didn't realize you were going to make the various sheet metal stakes using the anvil. Ages ago I saw an anvil, propane farriers forge and some tools for sale on Craigslist, a selling site. Called the guy and met him. The tools were mine for $400Cad. Now it would probably be 3 or 4 times as...

For short amounts I have used pieces of packing strap/banding, shaped with files. Pete

If I am not reliving high school shop classes and only imagining them, the sheet metal workstation was a thick plate (1"?) about 1' x 3' long roughly mid thigh high with Hardy, Prichard holes, etc in it. The different sheet metal stakes/anvils were placed and used as needed, then pulled when...

The installation instructions of the machine you like will have the dimensions. You could review several makes and models to see if there is an average. Pete

Search for them. 😉 You are local so should get better hits than I can. If they don't have them they would know where you could try. https://www.simplysprings.co.nz https://www.springspecialists.co.nz Cogs? I assume you mean gears...

Can't be wrong then. 😉 Pete

There must be roller reconditioning companies in New Zealand. Yup there are. Here is a couple. https://hammerking.co.nz https://precisionrubber.co.nz You send them the old rollers and they will recast them with polyurethane and regrind it to the proper size. Unless the old rollers are...

Elga....net. Bridgeport....da. Pete

I don't suppose the master bedroom can be raised or get your wife a big screen tv in front of the window and a camera outside feeding it the view? Pete

It is the time in the winter. GMT + 5 hours to Central Standard Time year round. Pete

Nice gluelams. 👍 You going to varnish them, or are they going to end up hidden? Pete

Yup that would be the case except for most places blocks/bricks are not used. More concrete instead. Pete

You could move the clocks a half hour and leave them there. Compromise. 🤣 Saskatchewan stays on standard time so I no longer have to deal with time changes. Pete

The wood has dried from the heat by the hob. Pretty much no matter what you do it will do it again, same spot or another. You'll be filling and touching up for some time to come. Best would be to cut back and replace the countertop either side for a foot or more with something that isn't...

I would look at a Rotabroach hole saw. If the hole isn't a press fit you could epoxy the bearing into the hole. https://www.engineeringsupplies.co.uk/37mm-diameter-x-25mm-deep-carbide-tipped-tct-hole-saws-rotabroach.html Pete Adding they you should lubricate while drilling. Soap and water or...

Horny. 🙂 In that instance you would run the I beams vertically, cross batten and then an additional set vertically. The air can travel up and down and even side to side around windows if it feels like it. More work and materials though. In the end you are almost framing up a new house and the...

My dad had a hybrid version for his holdfast. The head was wood (Maple) like yours but he used a piece of 3/4" pipe (like the stuff used for pipe clamps) with a cap on the end. The edge of the cap sat on the wood head and he would tap or belt it as needed with a hammer. A light tap behind the...

I left the Gate's world more than a dozen years ago but even before I did I was using free program suites that did what MS Office did. I still use them on my old Mac. Look at Apache Open Office or Libre Office (the one I'm using now) and see if you like them. They are loaded to the computer and...
