What I didn’t make clear is that with the upright post being 2.4m and the beam of 150mm resting on it (2.55m) that gives me enough fall for the flat roof. With the mortise in beam method I lose 150mm. The only other way I can see is to increase the height of the pier which would be a PITA for...

From scratch Tried to get pre cut to the I want and no one seem interested

Bridle joints won't work as the beam needs to be on the post as in the photo below. Would a wind brace like that in the photo help with mortice and tenon to fix in place but sufficient?

Thanks James but I'm struggling to picture what you mean............. Any particular epoxy or bitumen paint you can recommend?

Hi I plan on erecting a structure in the garden with green oak and the post and beams will be the same size 150 x150 of which the posts will be on a brick pier. The beam has to seat on top of the post in order to get to the correct height. What is the best way to attach them as it is my...

The plans I want to use were about to be submitted at the time We had fully completed the application and had discussed it with a planner at the council and they had no issues with it. If I can get them done I’ll use their 30 mins fee paid consultation and if they *******ise it then it’s over to...

A friend was in a similar position but in his case he fell out with the architect. As he had paid for the plans he requested all the drawings and made the amendments. I know he didn’t use any kind of software as he can’t stand computers.

Hi, I had a couple of plans for an extension drawn up a few years ago and we never got round to submitting an application for planning. There were two plans drawn up by two different architects and paid for but one has since passed away and I can't trace the other. All I wish now want to do...

Thanks for that. We learn every day!!! I will indeed be using a router table.

If still available then please let me know. Bank transfer or PayPal works for me.

Thanks Guys. The slot cutter seems to be the way to go but I ideally wanted to make use of the cutting depth of 22mm. My Trend T5v2 router is compatible with an 8mm collet but the 6.35mm groover is out of stock, so I'll have to settle for the standard cutter which has a max of 13.6mm cutting...

Thanks for the responses. I didn't think of using a straight but bit as I was just in a one-track mind and following the guidelines. When I looked @ Wealden I was also focusing on the heavy-duty range and not the standard range. So my options are the standard range from Wealden or this from...

Hi, I am in need of a groove cutter for my 1/4" trend router and I have checked out the likes of Wealden and Axminster but to no avail. The plan is to put together a shaker-style door that would house a 6mm MDF panel and so I need something like a 6.35mm groove cutter. Having used Peter...

I can recall spray painting our old school radiators 20 years ago and I was adviced by the supplier to start the process with them upside down.........

How about storing a thicknesser like a Triton Tpt125. I have no heating whatsoever in the shed and this will be it’s first winter.

I am currently looking into doing the same thing as you for the first time. From my findings which include a Peter Millard video, I believe a 6.35mm cutter is what you are going to need for the 6mm panel.

Thanks for that and I figured it was quite old. I had my doubts about that fence and at the price, I was thinking I might as well give one of the local brands a go or the Triton version.

Can anyone provide an info in this planer please? I have an opportunity to buy it but the seller knows very little about it and I want to be able to compare it to other basic models price wise (£150) as I don’t think there is much difference between all of them but I stand to be corrected. I...

Depending on how much spraying you want to do this might suffice for your needs

I have used Google’s smart phones since they launched. Since January this year I have been using my wife’s old iPhone 8 Plus that was launched in September 2017 and is using the most up to date iOS. Security updates are the only reason why I would continue with an iPhone. My daughter’s old...
