So first off the down cut blade is less likely to splinter the worktop edges especially laminated tops . As for the blades themselves all I can say is they are slightly longer than the normal blades , I’m no expert in tooth geometry but they are stronger and imo sharper than the regular blades...

I have an old atlas copo that cuts worktops with ease with the blades I’ve referred to . Underpowered refers to the fact you are cutting oak which is problematic for most jigsaws . It’s not easy to get a perfect cut with a jig saw as the blade can wander off the cut line ( at the bottom of the...

Could be your blade choice , your jig saw under powered, your feed rate to high , blade blunt , ……… the thing to check is will the ( I assume hob ) fit into your cut out and overlap the edges and that the retaining clips can engage the worktop edges .. as for further cuts I’d definitely do a...

I thinks someone is trying to cash in on the ppe market like in 2019 ( Covid ) it’s just a gimmicky way to take your cash . They look nice , sure to impress most customers but as above there are many other options out there . I’ve not read all the specs for those sheets but even if they are the...

Click flooring is not easy to install around obstructions as by it’s design and as you say it has to be raised to approx 45 degrees to allow it to lock in or click into place . Years ago they did a knock in flooring that would simply slot into place or under the edge of door frames . I’ve...

I find redwood is a much better quality and not so many resin pockets , it often looks better and definitely straighter imo

I’ve used Screw wax, beeswax , candle wax etc over the years but less so these days due to modern self cutting screws ..are these slotted screws btw as you say heavy rust ?? Maybe its time to replace them all so future maintenance and repairs are easier.. just a thought 🤔

Welcome to you and your planes , I thought my converted bedroom shop was small so qudos to you 🤗🤗

In that case it would ( imo ) depend on the thickness of your cladding but personally I’d like something else like ply or osb on the inside for extra strength and as said to make it a bit more secure . It doesn’t take much for low life’s armed with cordless tools to get in and be away with...

Hi there and welcome- yes when the carpentry bug ( or should that be worm lol 😂) bites and takes hold it infectious. Think mine started many years ago out of boredom and curiosity. Then there was that smell when you cut into old reclaimed timber .. look forward to seeing your work and fret not...

Hive designed by British Gas ( my x employer ) and while not everything they sold was good I still have my hive ( version 2 ) and tbh ive never had any major issues. I gave up on the hive trv,s but the bulbs for example are really good . They seem to last forever unlike regular bulbs . Get on...

As an x gas engineer this is exactly the level of customer service you should receive . Yes it will be more efficient depending on what energy rating your previous boiler was and how you use it . Get into the habit of turning your heating off when you’re not at home and simply turn it back on...
