How are you getting on with this Excel?

How are gou getting on with the Excel table IGWW?

So what does everyone else do? Or shouldn't I ask? I am certain that all my works are safe, but my personality/training/career means that I have a need for things to be done right (despite my (in)capability with wood!

Ah. I guess I have clearly breached these regulations then. I guess the responsible course of action would be for me to get someone registered to 'certify' the alterations? Will electricians do this?

Thanks for the reply. So I could add a Fused Spur off a ring main in the garage? but not a new connection to the CU because this would be a new circuit. I did change the CU to a larger (by number of available breaker positions) to add additional lighting circuits in the garage, because I...

Tired of running extension leads, particularly in the wet, I am looking at feeding electric to my shed. Power would come from a spare 16amp CB in the Garage Consumer Unit. Between the Shed and the garage, some years ago I turned the gap in to a bin store, which is now covered, and also doubles...

...following on from the previous post, with the hinge post of the door notched out for the hinges, I aligned the T&G that I was using for the door. The width of the door was ≈50mm less than the sum of 7 pieces edge to edge, so this gave me a chance to use my table saw for the first time. I...

I managed another few hours yesterday on the Toy Shed, and finally built a door, got it closing and locked. Using the same vertical T&G treated timer for the door face, and 3" x 2" CLS for the supports (whatever they are called?). I have built it like a gate I suppose? Still this have given...

In fairness, probably inexperience. Initially I was doing approximately 30degrees, but this was mainly so I could get two full roof boards from one sheet. 45degrees was just easy to cut with a rafter square.

Next up, the roof. I had a sheet of 12mm OSB for this. The sheet was cut using the same methods as the 22mm OSB I used for the flooring. The dimensions were a rough measurement as because I had increased the pitch of the roof to 45degrees, I decided I would have a slight overhang on each side...

The door on the long side is a good idea, not one I paerticularly thought of at the time? Certainly one to think of next time. Hang on, next time?! With regard to getting the wood off the floor, the 4" x 2" is treated for being outside, I just need to treat the ends I have cut. Will that not...

The next bit was the easy and fun bit! The cladding. This bit was fun as it actually felt like I was making progress with it. Careful attention was [paid to ensure that the sides remained in line with the back wall and across the front. It would look daft if the joints weren't level all the way...

Once the Rafters were complete, it was time to start building the shed by putting the frame together. I built the frame up seperately from the base so I was certain I had ample support, and I was away from the breeze. I put the base in place, leveled it with packing, and then carried the whole...

Once all the walls were complete it was time to look at the roof. I had decided on the style as per in the Sketch UP designs, but after initially chosing a 30degree pitch, I decided to go for 45degrees then I could simply use my rafter square to get all the angles. For a beginner, I thought this...

This year, I hoped to build a childrens play centre, which would have incorporated a storage area, but my drive project was hindered sourcing materials due to Covid. I never completed the drive until September, as a result, by the time I was ready to start the play centre, and materials for such...

The doors are about 1 1/4" thick, but I am not adverse to making mew doors, I think I could do that competently, but again - what wood would I use? Just any old PAR stuff?

Hi, I have read many many posts trying to seek advice on processes and pick up tips for working with wood, and that's been great, but I am struggling to learn about which wood to choose in the first place. I have read the valuable post by Custard, and How to Choose Hardwoods but this doesn't...

Hi, I have been after a table saw for some time, and I’ve spent so long the one I’ve decided in is now out of stock (Axminster act216 + cabinet and slide), and increased in price! As a result it’s got to the point where my next project would benefit from it, so I’m looking for a interim...

Do you know if this Is this 13A or 16A? The webapge does not state .... TIA
