Sorry, I can't recommend anyone. My only experience of them is seeing them being put together on several TV programs including Grand Designs and I also looked into it a while back when I spoke to a firm at the Ideal Home exhibition. Some companies that specialise in Garden buildings use them also.

SIPS have been around for several years and I have yet to come across the downsides to it. I have always always always asked myself the question as to why it isn't that popular. They are easy to erect & have good insulating properties. I wonder what i'm missing......

Thanks and exactly what I thought about ensuring the door dries thoroughly. The hinges were in tact.

I have a stable door that doesn't close properly at the bottom. I want to take it off and plane a bit off the door. I somehow do not think this is the best thing to do. The door only started misbehaving when the weather changed. I'm thinking that should I shave a bit off and paint the door would...

Many thanks

Thanks very much

Thanks. What type of oil can be used with it?

Hi, This might be a long shot as its a photograph but I am trying to determine whether this is a dry or wet sharpening stone and what can it be best used for sharpening?........ There are no markings on it. Thanks

Thanks. Pole mounted is what i have in mind and 4-6 pairs maximum. I think she wants it more as a garden feature more than anything but she has mentioned getting doves so i wouldn't rule it out.

Hi, Does anyone have plans for a dovecote they can share with me? My wife will be hitting a milestone and she wants me to make her one. I wish I had taken her seriously but that is all she can come up with when I ask what she wants.

Thanks guys

Ha! thanks. Perhaps something like this..?

Thanks but to be clear are you saying mix the white spirit with the PVA?

Hi Guys & Dolls, I have an MFT style worktop and I would like to know how I can best protect it from moisture. It would be in a shed that has no heating. I did a search online and a couple of options I came across are PVA glue (drywall sealer) or Rustins MDF clear sealer. I would prefer the...

Thanks for your input guys. The Scheppach looks ideal but too big. The Triton TPT125 is the one I was looking at and I cannot find it anywhere either. So the hunt is now on for a thicknesser. Is a Dewalt that much better than a triton to warrant an extra £200?

Hi Guys, As per the topic, I would like some advice as to which way I should go. I do like all things wood and I would like to add to my set up as stated above. I have no specific needs but l love to make stuff. In the last 4 months for instance I have made Versailles planters, a bench (basic)...

Apologies but what I failed to state is that I wanted to glue the wider part of the timber together. Mike G your offer is quite tempting but thanks very much as that project can wait. The wife has just seen the window box and is happy with it so I think i'll forget about putting the 'cherry on...

I have a circular saw which is quite cumbersome and also an electric planer which I tried using on another project this morning and I just didn't get on with it. I even changed the blade but wasn't impressed. Or maybe it was my lack of skill...... I might opt for a stencil and paint the words...

Long Shot but I think worth the try. Hi, I a hobbyist I have two bits of 9x2 timber (approx 1m long) I would like to have planed so that I could join them. As I haven't got a planer thicknesser I have tried to find a sawmill that offers this service but to no avail. I would also like some...

Hi, I thought i'd resurrect this thread rather than start a new one. I have just been given the very same bandsaw and as it so happens it my first bandsaw and i have never used one before. Can anyone please advice whether I can buy a guide fence for it and if so what do i need to look for...
