You could use a flat bit the size of your dowel to drill into a fixed/located block of wood. This would position and keep the dowel still, directly under the required drill. Extra depth hole would allow you to probably do doubles with a longer drill or turning over. This is unless the drill is...

Ok, so it's probably best if someone pops over to him and has it to do something with. If you're near the M69 and can use a 12" diameter log or 2 shout up. Cheers Andy

Asking for a mate before it gets shredded? 2 @ appx 6 foot trunks x appx 12" diameter Cheers Andy

Judging by the scraps underneath it and the plumbing related context first off I'd say for cutting Zinc sheet closely followed by lead sheet. Absolutely wonderful bit of kit and lovely to see it. Please do your best to save it.... In the meantime I'll ask about. @TFrench Edit, just seen where...

My fix when things get crumbly/dodgy is to use dowling, drill hole to suit, cut dowels to length, score the dowels with teeth on hand saw, pump in enough 5min PU glue, dip dowel in water and insert. 10 min later, cut off flush. This is especially effective when fitting curtain pole mounts ( 3...

That's a very nice Bridge Ted and you don't get to see a STONES Mark very often:love: Cheers Andy

Looks like you could benefit from this method. It was a rough turn to achieve a cylinder and then used a lamp cable auger through the hollow tailstock. This gave me the centres for turning the finished roller followed by manually boring from both ends with another auger the right size. To guide...

Sorry Tim, hadn't realised the explanation of how I did it is missing. It was a rough turn to achieve a cylinder and then used a lamp cable auger through the hollow tailstock. This gave me the centres for turning the finished roller followed by manually boring from both ends with another auger...

Doing the hole first can be a good idea to achieve this. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/racksaw-rollers.83520/ Cheers Andy

Armed and planerous 🔫💣:cool::giggle:

I'd be more inclined to look at leaving as is and having a second skin on the inside. The character of the building is untouched and the new doors are protected by the old. Whatever happens something needs to be done with the guttering.... Cheers Andy

What a charming little thing that is. That wedge abutment style makes a nice change and allows for extra wedge embellishment. Cheers Andy

Thanks for that but no it's this one... https://picclick.co.uk/Rare-New-In-Box-Vintage-German-Made-Bonum-252568596025.html I have one but the 3 wing head is broken. Just the head would be a bonus. Cheers Andy

Doh!! Can you get the listings in English? Cheers Andy

I'm still trying to obtain one these heavy duty Bonum 2001 scrapers but to no avail. Any help gladly appreciated. Cheers Andy

At the final hour, I've found some old originals. Highly recommend Pete at http://www.antiques-atlas.com/oldbakeryantiques Didn't have 4 matching in his tin of ORIGINAL CAST hinges so removed some from a couple of doors he had in stock.. This place is amazing for vintage ironmongery and...

In my basic understanding of "fuses ie bigger ones can mask minor faults" was EVERYTHING checked out by the electrician ? Cheers Andy

I was chatting to Chris Adams at Adams Ironmongers the other day and he mentioned that he has an excessive amount of old style nuts and bolts which nobody seems to want anymore www.birmingham-mowerrepairs.co.uk Maybe worth a call for anything old-school. Cheers Andy
