    Fitting latch in door mid rail?

    Not especially, just the usual.... take a look across the back plate and make sure the mechanism isnt protruding.... ive had this 😑. If it sticks out, you can use a chisel to round out the area around the spindle hole. Do you have an angle drive holder? Ive got a dewalt one somewhere, can be...

    Supersizing a female figurine

    Eeek.... hey ho, its all good practice 🤪 In terms of the cracks in the base, if it continued you could maybe cut them to create kind of pleated bits like you'd get when a dress moves / spins.... and if you wanted to get really inventive, you could use your dremmel to carve reliefs / pleats in...

    Supersizing a female figurine

    hi stig, no idea if this would work / help, but if you left the piece in a bath of oil, i wonder if it would stop the cracking going further? Itd stop it drying out so quick?

    Spray kit recommendations ( walls and cabinets )

    Well, today was the day! I finally tried it out.... Firstly, I'm learning so go easy 😆 I had to move stuff out the room and tidy up a bit ( next time the room has to be literally clear ) Next was masking the windows and rear sliders etc. I'd bought a load of q1 masking tape, brown roll, tps...

    Laser levels

    Ive got a dewalt cross line in red... ok inside but useless outside in daylight. I then bought a 3 line green dewalt as its advertised as 50x brighter. It turns out 50 times brighter than something you cant see isnt all that great 🤣😆 You can go about 4m in bright light, outside, beyond that you...

    Makita Makblade

    I had one in my makita mitre saw when new ( 260mm though , and not 60t ) and it was good. I think I'd pick a freud over the makita though, if that helps?

    Radial arm saw

    Ive got one but purely have it for crosscutting and trenching. Its an elu 1251 powershop ( same as dewalt ) and on mine, anything over say 30mm thick, it can grab quite aggressively. Blade selection is important, needs to be a negative rake. Edit to add: you cant be too safe, just dont bother...

    Steam bending timber

    I used to occasionally bend a wooden spatula when cooking pasta, about 5mm thick, 25mm wide handle 🙃 boil it up and put pressure on it.

    Securing gazebo roof

    You could use coach screws to fix the rafters to the framework ( you'll want to use a spade bit to sink the heads in, allowing for a socket to fix them off ) then screw the ply to rafters. Id consider painting the ply sheets black ( or something ) all around before fixing on the ply, both to...

    Mortgage rates / interest etc

    After 40 pages and nearly 800 posts ( most of which werent even about my mortgage ) i dont think I'll ever ask the internet community for advice ever again!! In fact, next time I'll either ask that chatgpt thing or jump off a cliff 😆😁
