I often go with what the seller recommends but with floor boards I personally don’t think it’s as critical as solid floors due to the potential of damp and or condensation. As for the tongues snapping off I think that’s rubbish as wouldn’t the same thing happen with carpet and underlay? I...

I see no issues with a 600mm overhang given your 6”x 2” joists I’d treat any exposed timber with a suitable wood preserver eg sika 5 star complete as any rain driven by the wind will find any weak points. You can work out how many sheets of plywood/ osb to buy as they are 8’x4’ or 2.4 x 1.2 ...

Hi hello and welcome- ref to your plane - as said on forged in fire 🔥 many times “ it will cut “ if not how much blade will be left once you true it up - maybe just start off with a new blade and learn how to make it cut ( not mentioning the S word )

Can’t answer your question but low level crime is not their primary concern- how do I know - the countless beggars at traffic lights asking for spare change - at least when I worked in London I could get my windscreen washed for a few bits of change but these new generation beggars dont do...

The toilets I hate fitting are the ones where the outlet is concealed so you can’t see if it’s Leaking unlike the old school pans ..

For traps and waste pipe fittings it’s always mc alpine for me solid and always good quality and worth paying the extra cost. Toolstations viva range is ok ball valves, and cistern fillers ( I’ve fitted many over the years , Thomas Dudley have been around for years the same items...

All in all - be it by machine and jigs etc or hand tools / powertools it’s still I imagine and enormous amount of work and time and the results are amazing. 👍👍

Can’t deny it that is awesome in every aspect, you have some serious skills and the patience to match it , keeping it real 👍

So with out me sounding a bit on the dumb side -why remove the pith ?

Yes I’m not one for the harness myself although I have one it’s too restrictive but I’d not deter anyone else from using one .. as for that hoist -wow !!! I’d use one myself on this roofing job I’m doing but it’s a one off so would likely not be used again .

I had no idea that willow branches could do this ,, many many years ago I was working with a elderly chap helping him with his garden - he wanted to extend a privet hedge - where do we buy the hedge from I asked him? He replied when we have cut the existing hedge we will just stick the big off...

Hello and welcome to ukw , some tidy looking work there . Don’t stress about mdf as many use it inc myself but tbh I prefer real wood but sometimes needs must ..

I added these signs as the carers haven’t got a clue about safety- I’ve asked them to sound their car horns 3 times to let me know they are entering the house but they are as thick as 2 short planks .. the one taped to the porch door is what they see when leaving the house .

I hear you , just remember that working off scaffolding is nothing like working from a ladder or small tower , it’s does however flex at times especially if it’s windy but you get used to it . Just try it before doing any work , you will be amazed at how the surrounding area looks from a decent...

Very nice looking bowls - if I was to keep some how would I process it . Would it be suitable for making boxes ? Should I Leave it in trunks , or rip it into 1” pieces ? Store it inside or outside ? Etc etc ,

Thanks @Scruples thats really useful information. Had a heated discussion with a friend ( Gardner ) as I said a shrub was a rhododendron and he said it was a hydrangea. Enter the owner and she confirmed I was correct but my friend still wasn’t having it ..

The last fresh wood I tried to dry split and cracked past the the point of no return ,the main trunks are about 8 / 10 inches in diameter and about 4ft long but I don’t turn and I have no experience of drying wood ..
