I doubt the victorians used 9mm mdf. I would be more worried using it if they are tall as it’s more likely to look wavy. Unless you are using the term generically silicon is also not the filler you want. You say you’ve never used your router which suggests you are in experienced, I’m not...

I know this is not what you’re asking but my advise is don’t do it. Do it properly in either solid redwood or if you must buy a premoulded mdf skirting. firstly you’ll need to deal with the fluffy mdf you create with your cove bit. The 2 mm overlap is never going to be even because no ones...

Dan, thanks for the link, thats the cheapest I could find them also but was hoping you'ld found something cheaper. Thanks for the offer but no help needed, as above, I can also facilitate this through my friends. Cheers Mark

Dan I've had a quick google and it seems thats these are still fairly expensive in the states. I could also do with some spare needles. Are you able to point me to a US website that has them at a reasonable price? I have friends in US that I could have them shipped to and then get them sent...

WA. You are right that if it fits the definition/parameters of PD, you don't need permission from anyone or any paperwork (planning wise only, building control is a different matter). However you can apply for a certificate of lawful development from the planning department that confirms it...

Your question is too vague to give any meaningful reply. Does it include stripping and disposal of old material? Size? What are you replacing it with? Are trims, barge boards, gutters etc included? Will it be membrained, insulated etc Scaffold included if needed? Any time I get a quote for...

What model was it? 😂 mark

What model is it ? Mark

I replaced the window boards in my house about 4 years ago when I had new windows. These were 40mm thick solid oak. No grooves on the new windows to fit them to. I put 3 coats of matt oil based varnish on all surfaces. Then stapled EML on the bottom with heavy duty hammer in staples (not...

That was my point w2s, maybe not made that clear. My local merchants only stocks c24 so if you go there that’s what you’re going to get. Mark

Remember wood isn’t only treated to prevent rot. Treated wood wouldn’t only help on your sole plates. Treated wood also inhibits mould fungus and insect attack so I’d use it on all your stud work and rafters given the relative price. I’d get myself down to my local builders merchants and buy...

Here's my effort from years ago. Still going strong. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/dust-mite-and-systainer-drop-box.74625/ Mark

I'll check the suggests, thanks for replying all. Unfortunately I'm one of those with a bad experience hence I'm looking for genuine. No one needs to worry I'll be scared at the price, I have bought them before. Just looking to stretch the pennies like most other people. Thanks Mark

Yes I'm aware of them being too cheap, I'm looking for a reputable dealer not some random on ebay that comes from China. I've had bad experience with fakes (not pretending to be Makita) overheating and won't buy them again, hence the request for genuine. I know I'm not going to save loads but...

Anyone know of a cheap supplier of genuine makita 18v batteries. At least 4ah or above, single or twin packs. Many thanks Mark

Guys Thank you for the replies, all suggestions and info greatly received. Work was bonkers today, I'll digest your comments and have a proper look at the links tomorrow. Mark

Doug, Chestnut was one of the alternatives I was aware of, though know nothing about it myself. Your link and a google suggests its not normally supplied as sawn featheredge, unless you know of a supplier? I need it to be a featheredge profile. Cheers Mark

Hello all, I need to buy some oak featheredge for the gables of the garage to replace the painted shiplap that is currently there and not in keeping (and rotten). I've done a bit of research but still have a few questions, if anyone has any helpful answers. Is oak featheredge for this purpose...

Buy a bag of these rather than make your own to hold it in place, i prefer screws to nails. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tile-Backer-Board-Insulation-Fixing-Washer-Disks-for-wall-floor-100-PerPack/202339141107?hash=item2f1c5a45f3:g:yawAAOSwL7VWjhLy Normal cheap hard point saw to cut. If you are...
