    1930s fireplace timber, trying to match

    Furniture of that colour sells for very little as brown furniture is unfashionable. Come the end of the lockdown, you should be able to buy any amount for next to nothing via charity shops and disposal auctions. The resultant wood would be very cheap and you might come across a piece of...

    Band saw cutting issues

    Somewhere, possibly you tube, I saw a decent explanation about sawdust clogging the blade and why you need as few teeth in the kerf as possible. The bloke had a huge wooden saw section to demonstrate this. Does this ring any bells?

    Portable MFT - my version

    I like that a lot. I will be nicking the design when I get round to making one. Is oiling a good idea? Won’t the wood swell?

    Gorilla glue

    Every type in their range is available from other cheaper brands. Most of what you are paying for in the gorilla range is their marketing spend.

    Fitting electric cooker query

    Illegal to place on the market if they don’t meet standards. But who out there is policing this(I could rant at length,), so you are most likely correct. I have looked at nhs website since I posted and they advise 600mm between the hob and the pacemaker. Which seeing as there is a plate between...

    Fitting electric cooker query

    So the EMC and medical devices directive don’t work then? It’s a shame because I spent two years serving on the British standards committee that wrote them and harmonised with the EU some 25 years ago.

    Fitting electric cooker query

    We looked at the pros and cons of 3kw vs 7kw. The 3 kw you can only run two rings at full wack at once. Her majesty said that was ok by her.

    Fitting electric cooker query

    Are you just talking about a separate hob? I have just installed one. These are quite low powered, and come wired with a three pin plug. Our new separate electric oven is a tad under 12 amps, and I have used a three pin plug with this too. I had a 40 amp supply (spur) which were needed for old...

    Loft ladder

    I looked at Titan website. In the event of not fixing what I have, I might buy one from them. Was quite surprised how cheap they are for a decent version. Thanks

    So I Want To Make A Submarine For My Pond....

    But....... I seem to remember your better half building some rather nice toy aeroplanes that were a similar shape . Minus wings of course. Paint has to be yellow doesn't it?

    Loft ladder

    I have a "posh" wooden (heavy) loft ladder which I want to fit. It is second hand: given to me by someone who build a proper staircase and no longer needed it. It comes with a system that uses Spring drums to counterbalance the weight. Problem is one is broken. Can't identify anyone selling...
