Googled hexagonal tube:

No james, I'm next level..... i dont even ask permission 😌

Start off big and scale back..... so tomorrow, ask for a mini digger and dumper, then drop back to just the digger. What that fails hasstle them for a power barrow for a couple of weeks.... when you eventually get down to the trolley, they'll bite your hand off 😆

I had to google slide rule 🤣 i was half expecting it to be an abacus 😆😁

And Margot Robbie 😍

Sorry jacob 😳, looking back through, it was daniel2 who said that.....

Great stuff Jizer? I almost didnt want to ask, but then it occurred to me that it could be cornish cider and I'd be missing out not knowing 😆🤣

Yes, the gist of what @Jacob was saying was they were quicker with hand tools in the old days. My post disagreed, due to modern tools mainly, speeding up the processes

There are the odd cases where power tools shouldnt be used much, like your work, the character is in the skill of that time and available processes in those days. Most modern attempts to recreate it with up to date tools and processes would fail to capture the character

We can still sharpen and use saws ( although im sure that'll dry up eventually ) Its true that new chippies wont have the same experience that i had whilst starting out, so are very much more reliant on power tools with less hand tool experience. When i learnt worktops, we didnt use a router...

Back when jacob started ( with a flint axe ) they used their stubble as sandpaper..... proper men back then 😉 Today's work is faster. No way was a guy with handtools quicker than a chopsaw or nailgun or tracksaw, impact driver, router etc.... Materials have changed and some of the processes (...

I dont have experience with this, having never done it, but i would first replace the springs and see how it goes. If it takes ages to get at the springs, while the roller is out, you could have a crack at filing the ridges.... I'd think a triangular file would do, or a dremel? Or take it to an...

Hi alex, as above, before 8s definitely the way forward. You'll be best off filling with timber, so if you can get a near sized hole cutter and sand the new circle to fit... ( i.e 38mm to 40mm to fill a 35mm hole ) Or if you have a router you can make a quick circle jig and knock up the...

That looks cool..... are you making the fixing bands / metal straps too? As usual, using straight end grain would help limit cupping on the block. I definitely want to see a write up when you do it 👍

My pneumatic paslode 16g has a wheel on the front near the trigger, you wind it in or out to adjust the depth of the nose , which in effect puts the firing pin closer or further from the workpiece. Similar on the dewalt

Yes, but, from memory the button fix reciever is about 27 or 28mm wide 🤔

Hi steve, I ( trade ) have had quite a few guns of all types. Paslode ( gas ) are great, but you must maintain them and initial cost for a small job isnt worth it. I have the 18v dewalt 1st and 2nd fix. 2nd fix is the better of the 2, but both have needed repairs within warranty. The 2nd fix...

What depth ( projection off the wall ) will the shelves be? Presumably not much weight. Can the hexagons have a back on them or are they fully open to the wall behind? I guess where 2 hexagons meet, youll have double thickness, so you could use button fix type 1? Edit to add: i re_read your o.p...

Im pretty sure i once saw a post where someone claimed to have trained a horse to walk past him, turn around and walk past again whilst he held out a chisel 🤣.... for a real horse hyde stropping experience Edit to add: we need a change of topic quick 😱

For a good fixing point: Get a neodymium rare earth magnet. Gently move it across the wall until it feels 'sticky' ( i e magnet found a screw head ) From that position, move it up or down 8" / 10" to find another screw, which will confirm you are on a stud.... its likely the next stud will be...
