I reckon the cost of the ply would be more than buying new shelves at the moment. I know exterior ply is expensive but the phenolic ply is another ball game. I will keep looking and see if I can work something out. You do get plastic shelves as well but at £40-00 per shelf and I need 20 minimum...

Trolleys are galvanised steel base on castors with removable uprights. There are millions out there and are normally hired/leased so you give an empty trolly back when a new load of plants arrives. They are security marked and have a security padlock for identification etc. I have a few which I...

No slats I'm afraid the plywood strengthens the shelf. Its odd looking. I found out on line its either 5mm or 6.5mm 5ply medium or heavy duty but looks like the base of a trailer? Its pop rivetted to the galvanised side bars

Had a look but the delivery to me is more than £150-00. At least I know that they are available. I assume the shelf manufactures just get them made to their size for them. There are millions of these shelves being used.

So far all my local suppliers biggest sheet is 2440 x 1220. Anything larger is a special order and they aren't sure if they can get it and as you pointed out v expensive, more than buying new shelves. The shelves are galvanized steel with plywood base.

Hi there just wondering if anyone knows of larger than 2.4 x 1.2 sheets of ply. I have a garden nursery and use danish trolleys with adjustable shelves. The ply has rotted but the shelves are an odd size and I would have a huge wastage from standard sheets. The ply for the shelves is 570mm wide...

I agree with pallets. Strap everything down to the pallet and wrap in cling wrap if you want. Stops it getting wet if its pouring when loading. I always put the taller stuff to the front and strap to the inside of the van. Try and distribute the weight as much as possible but keep the load...

The oregon quick sharpening system saves a lot of time sharpening especialy if your cutting dirty wood. I know a few foresters who us it for thinning to ground level of smaller trees but if I remember it can only be used on smaller powered saws. The system I have seen fits on the end of the bar...

I had a high bed for my daughters and son. Steel framed from ikea. They loved the den I built under it. My son used it for his gaming on his pc. Its amazing how much more useable space you get. I fitted some down lights as well as it was a bit dark, It may be too much of a project but you could...

Another thought would be to use small brackets on the base of the legs and fix to the floor to stop them getting knocked out of alignment.

Why not use short lengths of 50mm x 50mm box section aluminium/steel . to join and extend the lengths. It would reinforce the joint and could be screwed to hold in place. You could also reduce the overall size of the legs slightly to achieve a flush fit. If I remember you get 50mm aluminium...

If its similar to araldite and hard and cured then most solvents wont work. It will as said soften at temps above 70 degrees. I used a steam cleaner to loosen and soften it on some old chairs. that needed taking apart and reglued. Couldn't get the cross bars off as they had been reglued with...

You get 2mm hardboard in art shops in small sizes. They sell it as backing board I think. You might even find it in b@q but I think 3mm is the thinnest they do.

simplest option may be to check the motor/machine to see if it can cope with 115 and 240v? Some have both options. Another option may be a small site transformer 240 to 110v but not sure about the difference between 50hz uk and 60hz american. You do get 240v 50hz to 120v 60hz convertors but not...

I have the polyurathene reinforced which is ok but still a bit stiff but seems indestructable. Bought 10metres it out of lidl cheap. I think its 3/8 I use it for length but bought a couple of metres of good quality flexible rubber hose and joined it to the end I am working with for flexability...

The stuff I have which probably came with a tumble drier tends to degrade fairly quickly in sunlight so I assume not UV protected. It will pull lengthways ie shorten when a strong vaccum is used and has to be fixed down otherwise tends to coil up on you or shoot accross the workshop if not...

It is pretty flimsy. Not sure if the vacuum would colapse it. Its normally used for venting not suction. I have some left over from a kitchen extract fan. I think it would need to be fixed down at regular spacing as well . Saying that for all the cost it would be worth a try.

Many thanks I was thinking it would be around that power. Not sure what speed it used to run at though. I was thinking it might be slower due to originally being for cutting metal. Going to see if I can work out how many poles it has once I learn how to. It will be converted to single phase and...

Not sure what I will use it for but its well made and once going might be excellent for fiddly cross cut etc. I also need a saw for cutting plastic laminate into small 2" x 1" labels. If it all goes wrong it only cost a £10 so nothing to lose plus gets me taking things apart again and fixing...

Thanks Pete I always wondered what it was for. The aluminium shards everywhere made me think windows etc. Have tried a printers saw image search but no luck yet. Its pretty heavy for its size and so far nothing seems worn and I have managed to free up anything that was seized with rust. The...
