Last year I had to replace my workshop roof, (double garage). Pleased to report that my handtools some exposed to atmosphere in the shop did not suffer any rust or erosion problems, ( I had left out some japanese saws on the bench). The roof was that insulated industrial metal type and was put...

Dovetails done, some gaps to fill with glue and sawdust!

You may recall my workshop went back at the beginning of the year. However withdrawal symptoms have set in so I am attempting to make another tissue box but this time no machinery only a mitre saw!!!!!!!!!!! So have ploughed out a rebate along to two insides only, not at ends, and using some...

Thanks for your advice and information, (I have had them stored in the shed some time now around 6 years at least I think.) The wife thinks a warm holiday would do the trick as well.

Thanks all. the ebay will do the trick if I cannot put a washer in the existing tap, Its so old and painted many times I will be surprised if it comes apart.

I dont even know the trade name of such. back bracket screws to the wall, normal cross handle turn, outlet water end is threaded for hose connection. Dont want a fancy chrome modern contraption, it replaces the one in our leanto and no space for modern stuff. Had another look, the bracket is...

Yes we are ebook readers in our house these days as well. Mainly use Overdrive and that takes us to the local library and books are free. Also have three daughters spread around the country and they let us use their library cards for those areas which differ from Torbay libraries stock. edit...
