Is chapess or chappete helpful? Or is folks best to use

The link went to primer so yes to that then whatever hot paint colour afterwards A primer does just that it prepares a surface maybe fills in a few dings for a final coat

You mention that cosmetics aren't an issue - in which case as you have pretty well cleaned all the junk and surface rust off so now hot surface primer and hot surface black/top coat should do. The more you metal you rub off the quicker the exhaust will fail

If the door is for external use be aware the timber will move and the gloss paint will crack might need sorting out every year or so -- a different finish might be worth considering. I think your nailgun from the front as you suggest will do the job About 10 years ago I bought a Wickes door...

Thats the way I would tackle it as well - btw anyway of getting rid of the drill and using a small motor with variable speed as I think the noise of the drill going full bore would drive me bonkers (more than usual). I suspect a sewing machine motor with foot pedals would not be strong enough.

This sounds sensible - most, well at least my local fencing supplier will sell this timber from stock and deliver, from your location is Percy Hudson your local one google says they have good stocks. Then you can cut at your leisure with as others have suggest a hand saw, if you want to get a...

I'm not saying this is good in fact the opposite -- West Sussex allow 5 trips to the rubbish dump every month - I am clearing small trees bushes (in my garden) and asked for more trips this month, a very helpful lady said I had used 4 could do one more and only then would she allow maybe 3 more...

Good job . I bought a similar no 3 some years ago and did the same restoration job. It's probably my go to plane for smaller jobs. Keep it sharp and it will work wonders for you

Go to halfords or similar and look at bog standard rivets look at lengths and compare to how thick the material are you only need them a little longer and buy aluminium ones. Your existing one handed tool will do the job well. I have no sense of what materials are you trying to join? Thin...

Sorry Blackswanwood didn't see your reply when I sent mine

No the warranty is ultimately with the manufacturer imo Make sure you register the purchase with them as they sometimes need that
