Tote bond three is waterproof so why not? I've been using West epoxy, it's expensive but very reliable. I'm thinking of trying Aerolite in the future.

I had a 1.5 kilo tub of "Polyvine" Cascamite from Axminster, I've been using the glue for more than fifty years, but fortunately I'd heard stories of failure so made a batch and left it to set. It only ever went rubbery and never set hard. I contacted Axminster who said there was a better...

I suggest a common sense approach to any treated timber is - if it kills other forms of life what will it do to me if small doses are taken over long periods? Many timbers are toxic in themselves and need to be treated with respect and suitable protection. I would never agree to use accoya or...

So, let me see, no experience and struggling to use the correct terminology. No idea what to charge. My best guess would follow that with -no apprenticeship, no training and clearly not much chance of the customer getting a good result. I think I may have seen your van, is it the one with signs...

My suggestions are - through mortise and tenon joints with wedges. -Boards maximum of 100 mm wide or consider ripping your 150 mm to make 75mm boards with penny gaps. -Fasten with screws from back face with knock in cover strips or galvanised round nails through the face ( drill boards to...

I got it wrong . It's poolewood who sell the Fox50 842 with a three year guarantee, and it's 1.5 KW (2 HP)

Look at previous posts on extractors. The Fox 842 is less than £250 and is 1.5 HP. It's very well spoken of by owners. I think it's Charnwood who sell at a good price. I agree about the "woodworkers curse" of buying cheap Chinese carp. Solid British cast iron will last decades and then sell for...

Hi Andy I am familiar with Vetus as a supplier. Your description sounds like the Houdini hatch, much used in offshore boats as a means of escape. My experience with narrow boats tells me that they are a nightmare in terms of condensation problems. The alloy surround is the cause rather than the...

That's made me think a little! First thoughts are that you could turn the ridge round to bridge the shorter distances And that may give enough room to climb through? Failing that it might be possible to hinge the whole box to give access. Big drawback to this is the weight of the box. What...

The best money I ever spent was for a chisel sharpening kit from Axi. There is a world of difference when the chisel and auger are sharp.

If you enlarge the top photo it is visible at the ridge.

It isn't sealed, it has a gutter and drip rail which runs the water sideways. I will find a photo.

/attachment] I make these for Dutch barge owners and others. The design is highly rated since its leakproof, many of the roof lights on boats are poorly made and drip in the winter. The corners of the box are dovetailed and the material is Iroko with flush double glazing. The bars are stainless...

Is this a light to fit in a roof slope or a flat roof?

I have a floor standing multico , the chuck has been very usefull when a dead square hole needs to be made.

I don't understand. This is a vital issue of the moment, even if it attracts idiots it can't be ignored. My original post was referring to companies putting profits before safety, a matter that should discussed by every prospective customer of said business.

In an ideal world the boarding would have been made with the heart side up or better still the growth rings at 90 degrees to the surface, in that case a single screw in the centre may suffice since the boards will have dried and scallowed with a round upper face. However in the real world many...

It was intended to raise a smile. There are shortages of all kinds of things at the moment,I'm sure we will bounce back.

I have the very device you need to solve your current problem !! You need to place the pocket hole jig complete with instruction manual, screws , and special hole filling dowels into the bottom of the device shown . It should be held tightly in place with any dominoe machine and biscuit jointer...
