Unfortunately that is true enough to be depressing lol.

Looks great and your wife/partner can always chase you around the house with it if they can't find the rolling-pin! Turn a contrasting wood disc with a recess and fit the other part into it and you'd have the basis of a nice bedside/side light, which with the correct shade could look lovely. IMO

It gets pretty warm as it is curing but it is likely I used plasticine as my kids were living at home at the time so silicone might be better I think as long as you cover the cog you use as a former with a release agent. Thick washing-up liquid seems to work for that purpose. The modeling...

I was in a similar situation to yourself but managed to make a new plastic cog by using the good one to make mould and mixed up a 2-pack poured it in and flippin hec, it worked! This was to repair one of those working educational cut-away models of a simple internal combustion engine for one of...

I am presuming from your response that you have yet to see the video. The whole point of the German development is designed for long haul NOT short haul, where rechargeable small trucks make loads of sense. BTW, there is very little capacity for freight travelling by rail in some areas of the...

A modern twist on electric trolley-buses applied to large HGV's that looks interesting. Video here

Wow! thank you all. Lots of really good ideas and may use a several of them combined for a 'belt-n-braces approach. Also, apologies as I should have mentioned that I do intend to paint the door once it is fixed so doweling the joints is definitely an option. If I can find my sketch of the design...

, Thanks/Diolch. The aim is to replace all the doors and frames eventually. In fact, in one of the pictures you can see the very rough shape of the doors I want to make and the internal windows the same (yes, we have internal windows lol). However, I'm not in a position to purchase materials...

Source/reference please. Cheers

No need for apologies. (fellow left-ist ish, (see other posts) lol

Hi people. Help please regarding re-glueing an internal door. I purchased my single storey cottage (as was) that was renovated and massively extended by Bodge the Builder. No planning, no building regs and little quality apart from the blockwork ; he also built as a disabled person who was on...

Duly edited as there were two "not"s I'd missed out.

hahaha, You're quite right. I missed a 'not'. thanks

Who said anything about the poor in Russia???? I certainly didn't. However, Ukraine (current situation excepted), is a better place to be poor in and Estonia certainly is. Personally I think the US is one of the most awful places to be poor in with your very poor living in conditions many...

Hi. That's fine but what about the almost 3/4 of Dis-United Kingdom adults that don't invest? Investment is not an option for the majority of citizens. Trickle down has again and again been shown to not reduce inequality or make the poor better-off. The system here is broken (and seemingly in...

I hear what you're saying (writing) and it is one of the reasons for my approach to the issue of the current monarchy, (see earlier post/response above). However, in general terms, lots of small costs, make up a big cost overall, which is of course the current govt's approach to spending, 'save...

We certainly do. We run peer support sessions (although not usually me) but spend most of our time acting as consultants to the public and third sectors, designing and delivering role-specific training. [email protected] is my work email address if you need to ask more in confidence.

Thanks, The stable is/will be dry although it is on a Welsh mountainside so even inside can be damp. The idea is to use an oil-based primer once the panes are cut and then good quality masonry paint to keep the OSB sealed. I've left the sheets 2" from the floor and no timberwork is in direct...

thanks. I'll have a look.

Hi All. I have built a stable using timber frame (uprights NOT in the concrete), insulated with 2 layers of 25mm insulation board with a 50mm gap in between and clad in 13/3 zinc sheets.I am about to line the whole project with 18mm OSB sheets and ordered the sheets from merchant who, when I...
