Hello all Anyone know of any good deals on these at the moment or of any festool vouchers doing the rounds? Any pointers greatfully received. Cheers Mark

I posted this on another forum a couple of weeks ago but no one seemed to have any particular experience so am seeing if any of you guys do. I,m looking to getting 50 odd square metres done at about 65mm thick. I have only used traditional screeds in the past. Stuff I've been warned or read...

Bob I have a flatpack container if you want to call it that. It definitely is not flimsy. Weighs god knows what. Each 8x4 floor panel is a struggle for 2 people. Only prob is I have no idea what brand it is as it was second hand. Just saying don't dismiss them. Mark

Balsa is a hardwood, is the inspector saying thats acceptable? The hardwood/softwood description is a stupid one to use in this situation in my opinion. Redwood/pine etc is fine for a door, if thats what you want to use. Most door and window companies will happily make out of ether. Mark

Price isn't really a defining factor, just want to get it right Mark

I need to install a lighting cable in my porch prior to it being tiled. This will be wired up by a sparks ar a later date. I have tried google and there seems to be disagreement of the size between 1 or 1.5 mm twin core and earth. I realise there are a few variables but do I just put 1.5 mm in...

This stuff https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p20527 ... protective Anyone used it? Does it go on the frame as well as the glass? Windows are new wooden painted so dont want to damage the paint work. Any tips on applying and any issues getting if off the frames? Cheers Mark

They are not necessarily for either. They are for the room/internal space. You can put them in the wall. In general needed for new internal spaces. If original internal spaces are not already ventilated generally new vents are not needed when changing the windows or doors. Mark

Thanks for the further suggestions Mark

I've asked Eric but he hasn't got a source, any other ideas? Mark

Hello all Need to buy some oak for barge boards (to be left untreated as per the local vernacular) Looking for advice where to buy some air dried oak boards 200mm by say 30mm and up to 4 metres long without breaking the bank. Planned would be good as big machines are in storage, but sawn ok...

Thanks folks,

Do they exist? Need 5 or 6mm diameter and as long as possible. Twist or brad point, not fussy. Anyone got a source for longer than normal? Cheers Mark

I often find on this forum that I can’t see all the pictures in all the posts. But if I log in then I can. Which is the case with this thread. Think it’s probably to do with whether they are hosted directly or via a third party hosting site Mark

I have the same bandsaw plus another bigger one. The big one has bearing type guides, the Kity has wooden blocks. When I bought the Kity it had random bits of soft wood. I replaced these with lignum vitae. i have never felt the need to change them to bearings. In fact they have the...

Thanks all Cable purchased this morning, put in trench and partly backfilled. They gave me 4 core for the price of 3 as they'd run out of 3 core. What can I use the 4th core for? Mark

! wouldn't normally ask this here but I''m having problems getting hold of my electrician, I have a feeling he is on holiday, and I need the answer. I'm currently renovating the house and have a trench open that goes from the house right past the detached garage. This garage is destined to be...
