After due consideration I've come to the conclusion that a wobble could affect your vision if the oscillations were in synch with fluorescent lighting and to avoid that possibility they would need to be mounted in counter (or reverse) oscillation mode so there is no possibility of a harmonic...

Today I have had delivered 16 of 3600x100x22 treated timber gravel boards and in due course each will be cut into 3 sections That will be in a month or so - they will be stored out in the weather should I store them flat or on their side to stop them going all wibbly wobbly? Whats the opinion?

Good for you Pallet wood is usually heavy - will your trailer take the weight?

Just wondered so if I put the rags in a bucket of water for a while - say an hour or so and then take them out and put in a rubbish bin if the water evaporates and the rags become very dry are they still likely to self ignite?

Thanks - Ill give it a go this should try and make the whole board the same colour but will give the Liberon bleach (as Ive just been given a half tin) a try in the worst area first. cheers

My oh my what a table superb very well done.

Some years ago when some double glazing was fitted I had internal wooden window boards fitted, a semi hardwood not a cedar or skirting board type of timber which then had a coat or two (I suspect) of whatever varnish was available maybe yacht varnish but now most of its long gone/worn away. Over...

Expansion vessel needs pumping up or replacing

Give em time by the time its due we will be sick of hearing about it!

Drop an email with the photos to Record Power The braided one looks like an earth to go on the brass coloured nut/bolt near the connection box, cant see from the photo but there might be a strand left on it.

Its good and sturdy - go for a known brand as some of the cheapest just might not do it, If the area justifies (nice flat bits) then a mini paint roller would give a good smooth finish - well smooth enough!

Hi Perhaps I'm looking at the wrong product but wow not an everyday purchase cost-wise - not at all cheap and maybe a bit overkill for the tasks you have outlined, does it have to be battery powered? as if not there are some great 240v saws and you have a greater choice of makes to consider.

Thanks all

Having a Gtech floor cleaner I occasionally come across various other items they would like to sell to me - hence their multi came in focus Not sure if the link will work...

UK has Timberfast screws same thing excellent just used a few fixing two 75mm square fence posts to each other, they drive in easily and are tight come in different lengths recommended

Thanks for the offer but don't bother, Ive spoken to a Makita engineer as well as the helpdesk and they're adamant no chuck changing so will take the chuck from my wobbly drill and all will be good. However its been an interesting exercise. Looking at ebay the genuine chucks are quite expensive...

The kind ebay seller sent me another DHP482 and didn't ask for the previous back - guess its not worth the bother in sorting a chuck for it. However the new chuck has the same issue it doesn't tighten the same way as my previous ones, looking at this harder the new/latest 482's have a different...

So I have just partly by hand and partly machine sanded some skirting boards and 6 door frames ready in due course for primer and 2 coats waterbased satinwood. Where the sanding went too deep it exposed the odd bit of timber and the original (1930's) dark stain, I didn't try as I know the above...

Thanks for the advice folks, Im going to buy a few nicrofibre and see how they go but no doubt I will end up going the ollie route as above

I have just sanded 6 doors and frames (plus skirting boards) as part of the ongoing saga of bringing my house up to standard. The paint was old, oil based and l created loads of dust so next step is hoover the doors plus dry paintbrush to get dust off. Then damp/dry jcloth to remove more dust...
