No idea if it's any good or not but looks like Rutlands usual Banggood stuff. Video review from Banggood

It is good to have some kind of standard but it feels like landlords are being picked on, there would be riots if the government announced that every house in the country had to be C rated by 2028 or the owner could be fined £30.000. Comparing my previous certificate which was D and the new one...

I cut a matching profile on the end of this dado rail so it looks like it returns to the wall as I couldn't think how else to finish it, I think it turned out okay. Might work on your skirting if the panel goes to the floor and you stop the skirting say 20mm short of the architrave. Would you...

Depends on the mould on the skirting but you can mitre just the mould down to the floor if that makes any sense, it kind of closes off the skirting quite nicely and makes it look like it was meant to be. Obviously you need a short piece of spare skirting for this. If it's bullnosed skirting...

I own a small rental property, it's a lovely little cottage but very old, solid walls etc. When it had an EPC done a few years ago it was given the rating of D, just had it done again and now it's an E :dunno: I wasn't there when it was done but it looks like they couldn't be bothered to look...

I think how people live in a property makes a lot of difference. I own a little rental property, it's an old place with solid walls but has been mostly dry lined and insulated plus it's double glazed. The last tenants who just moved out were in for 2 years, lovely professional couple, no mention...

Everybody is different, for me the Festool CXS is the most ergonomic driver I have used, it just feels like an extension of my hand. Because of how you hold it all your force is directly in line with the screw, it gives you the control of a normal hand held screwdriver. Regarding the Kapex...

Maybe it was the CXS you tried, they are small but you don't grip it like a normal drill, it's designed to be held higher up. You kind of grip it at the top with your forefinger pointing along the body of the drill and use your middle finger on the trigger. It's not great for drilling but by far...

It's a class 1 tape like the Hultafors I linked to so should be accurate. It's always a good debate how accurate a tape measure needs to be for woodworking, I just like to know I'm using the best available. I'm always surprised that Stanley don't even make class 1 tape measures :dunno...

I really like Hultafors Big T, used them for years, the belt/pocket clip is excellent, you won't find a better tape...

I'm thinking along the same lines as @baldkev, it sounds like you might be best avoiding the table saw for the sake of your fingers. If I was making a one off of these I would start with a piece twice as long as I need, set the fence on my planer to 45 degrees and make a few passes then cut to...

Well there can't be many Pink PK's plus a quick look on Gumtree shows it's being sold by someone called Bruce in West Yorkshire.......

The Festool I have is their smaller, lighter model, it can take off 4mm in one pass but I wouldn't want to be doing that over the full width of the blade! I don't know if it's my technique or just the nature of the beast but whenever I try using the planer on a large area I just end up with...

There is something really satisfying about using a proper panel saw that has the slider right next to the blade, I can't explain it but it just feels right. I used a track saw for years but a panel saw is so much quicker. Mine has about a 6 foot slide so I still have to do full sheets against...

Mine only comes out for trimming doors and the odd scribe. I have the Festool, it uses a kind of spiral blade which gives a great finish and is totally dust free when used with an extractor, blades are a bit pricey though.

I would use Tulipwood and MRMDF

That was Nicks one and only post and it was 15 years ago so don't hold your breathe. Hopefully somebody else will be able to help you out though 🤞

This was discussed recently, think people thought plaster made a better job. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/tray-ceiling-timber-choices.137940/

Plane a bit more off so it closes, it's never good having to kick a door when you want to open or close it. I always try to avoid stable doors as there is too much to go wrong with them, everything has to line up perfectly for them to work properly. A word of warning, 99% of new wood doors you...

One of these is handy for marking/drilling the mounting plate holes https://www.trade-hinges.co.uk/hinge-mounting-plate-template-108-p.asp
