One of the jobs i managed to get installed this week. With.the help of a fellow trademate, a oreil bay window. This customer is a fan of very simple square edges and clean lines. He hated the plastic window this replaced with a circualr corner post and lots of cover/filler strips around the...

So its been a while since i put the original pictures up and since i finished this, The doors are now in and working well, they are 2.4m tall and use multipoint locks in both doors, without a dummy mullion, and also no cill, the door has a draught seal and it seats onto a stainless water bar...

Very good stuff, have to adopt special practices, as said no corrosive fittings/screws/pins, stain blocking primer, cant use cascamite/pva glues. You need a certificate from accys for the guarantee, and also from teknos for the 12 year coatings guarantee.... Just installed the jounery for a...

Hi andy, I always remove each section to a good point then use the piece i have removed as the template, as the fresh cut end is obviously good. If its completely rotten, its a case of measuring as accuratley as possible before removing, but they never match up as good as copying a sample...

Hi dericlen, correct yes, the joints were cut at an angle, from inside to out, to shed water away. i used a reference piece of wood the same width cut at the angle to guide the saw in. You can just make it out from some of the photos, but not easily.

\From the pics, that is Sapele, i've worked with Alot of both iroko and sapele, infact pretty much endlessly until last year.

Sorry if anyone was sneakily watching this.... what a little thing this is. dont quite know what to make of it! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dominion-benc ... 1334051631

Got all these fitted today! WOO WOOP Two More pics, one showing the trickle vent slot, There vent is screwed on the inside and has a mini box inside the head of the window, then the top sash has a section in the middle chamfered away to allow air to pass to the grill. The frame is also...

Love reading your threads Alan. Do you prefer the individual jobs or do you like to get your teeth stuck into a bigger project?

Thanks for all the kind words, I needed them after finding out there is one more window needed than ordered! so very annoying! I set the tenoner up to work from a flush cut piece of stock, so i take the glazing bar section(at that point in time its square) then cut both ends so it fits in the...

Hi Guys and Girls, Thought i would share some picture of my last few months work! Im at the installation stage right now so will hopefully get some more when im finished, if i ever get there. Didnt take many photos during construction. There is 16 windows in total, and i have personally done...

Is it a display cabinet for small figures, warhammer maybe...?

Hi, I have the Bosch set, drill, impact, angle driver and saw, and there great little tools that are more than powerful enough for consistent screwing up to 50mm screws. They do larger but the batteries run out very quickly, I have however just bought the 2 festool drills c12 and t12+3 (came...

Very nice alan. You should do this for a living :p

if you have a 50mm box for the weights, generally, (Unless the sashes are abnormally wider than high) steel weights will work. Try the mighton calculator. The disadavntage is you need a long pocket to get the weight into the box compared to lead.

I'd look at the metabo drivers, i was quite impressed by theming there other tools are solid. I think they have. 5.2 amp/hr battery now also!

its brilliant for coving and standalone skirting too. usually just have to cut the dominoes down.

Are they beaded? The best way I have found is a fein multimeter, or Bosch GOP with the rigid scraper, run down the edge of the glass inside and out, pushing along at an angle. it takes about 15 seconds each side, no matter what sealant was used, butyl, dry seal, poly sulphide, silicone...

Give doug @ cutting solutions a try, I received some blades I ordered on Monday, and there excellent! Completely transformed my Bosch mitre saw.

Kostello, Thanks for the input, I hadnt thought of that! Do one finishing coat pre assembly, put all the bars on, mask, spray and remove. No need to re mask each coat as there is already 2 coats on prior! How did the edges finish? the teknos and sikkens products are nigh on identical imo.
