Wow thank you I will!

Wow, that’s very reassuring. Thanks. Most of the timbers are pretty shot so it’s probably gonna be a strip back to the purlin which thankfully looks sound.

Astonishing skill levels

That’s really helpful, thanks. Any ideas where to source a timber like that? (I’m in Leeds)

I’m I’m Leeds

Yes the wall plate is just the start, but don’t know how to source such a huge thing, or if it’s even necessary to be that big.

I’m in Leeds so that’s very helpful, thanks

There’s this massive timber at halfway (looking from doorway to back of building), is that a purlin?

There is only the one timber (which I’m referring to as the wall plate) so maybe it’s both acting as a wall plate and a lintel for the two doors?

Hi, I need to replace a 5m x 240mm x 100mm wall plate on a 150yr old outbuilding (stone walls slate roof). Any thoughts on sourcing such a beast, or alternative ways to skin this cat? I’m in West Yorkshire if anyone knows any suppliers. Google draws a blank! Cheers.

Lovely base

Clean and fill with wax stick?

Bahco are brilliant. A game changer. Get a wide one and a narrow one. Seems outrageously expensive but when you’ve got one you’ll see why. So fast and so effective. Worth every penny.

Word is it’s a Scheppach (HBS261 I think).

Just bought one. Thanks for the heads up!

If you think about the direction of the forces you’re generating you can see your clamping set up is all wrong. The forward force of your plane has basically nothing to resit it. Try moving the left hand wood to the front of your timber. Clamp that wood. That’s all you should need. Obviously the...

I made the stands in that video. It’s a great, simple system. Not easy for making accurate measurements though.
