where in cornwall is it merman?

Pilot hole is advisable in oak More specific to these fixings I'd consider using the wafer head type, same fixing essentially but a much broader head and a torx driver. hex heads are great but you will either find the head will not pull in, in soft wood this can be an issue with knots so may...

Evening Michelle if for whatever reason you are still looking for some chisels drop me a message, I regularly import some and sell a few to recoup costs

Just a thought, a very quick attempt without the destruction of skirting (I have never done this and would only attempt it on my own floor in dire circumstance) lay masking tape perpendicular to the boards, glue a decent length timber to the tape and tw#t it with a sledge a decent length...

im no flooring guy but i can see no visible tongue in the gaps just underlay? so either A) there is none, which i find hard to believe in a floating floor; B) the tongue has been removed so the install isn't as per manufacturers would want it or; C) the tongues having been glued have remained in...

just a quick two thoughts, if its a log store I would be inclined to stick with the green treated timber (pictured left) as it will fair better. secondary to my point the piece on the right looks as though it may be cls which could also contribute to it being graded 16 due to its smaller cross...

stilettos are a fantastic hammer, lovely to use and somehow claim a 30% heavier equivalent strike, the handles are susceptable to breaking if you get really rough with them. cracking hammer and would definitely recommend them.

in my opinion, in your situation with your budget you would be far better served with a festool Hkc 55, you can make super accurate compound mitres, over a greater length than a mitre saw, you have the ability to run it on the fs track system and you can even plunge cut. by far the most...

There is a wanted section within the marketplace section for this very purpose, ethically I would say that due to its very existence no admin would have any issues with you making a direct sale between yourselves. I think the issue would be with a post in the for sale section with the intent...

if you want anti mould i would throw zinsser perma white into the ring, my bathroom has no window just an extractor and after 4 years of daily showering etc (only bathroom for 2 adults ans 2 small children, not a spot of mould. no idea how grease would affect it but to be quite honest i doubt...

I like danish oil for the ability to chose the level of finish you like, it takes many (were talking like 10-20) coats to get a really nice sitting on the surface finish with danish but you can get it like a thin piece of glass on the surface, or you can stop with less coats and get anything...

skim over polystyrene tiles also sound a bit risky to me, you could blue grit and skim but i've always knocked off any nibs with a floor scraper first and I'm guessing you'd rather not get involved with that. If it's a council flat they should really be taking steps to deal with the hazard IMO...

On the college side of things a level 2 over a one year course was only a couple of days a week last I knew, you're likely to find some of the local employers do actually have a relationship with the college in regards to taking on students, at the very least the lecturers should have some ideas...

The masons laugh that when you hand a chippy (Me) a shovel, they look around for where the battery goes :ROFLMAO:

just going to leave this here..

I'm sorry but the romantic notion of people achieving much more, in less time with less tools is just too tempting a carrot not to chase. I work with an old mason who served his time in a period where a clay soil pipe took a day to boss into, having to fill the pipe with sand and skillfully and...

I find it a real problem this time of year, I use my fingers a a brake on my tape anyway and they double up as water wipers when the tapes on it way back in, when i can remember anyway! I've been working with another carpenter for the last year and we've settled on Tajimas as our standard, we...

tajima hi lock 5m for me, have tried most and definitely my favourite as yet, not the most robust but honestly have lasted just as long as any others i've had (if i get 2 months from a tape its doing well :ROFLMAO: )

Brand new, completely unused Mafell K85 ec - £800 I have spun the motor up once merely out of intrigue so i can vouch for it working :ROFLMAO: If i'm being truly honest bought it after a particularly good spate of work and needed to spend some money, as you do. It's a truly substantial saw, I...

masking tape isnt great when its left on too long, ost tapes are rated for a period of time (to be left on) Icertainly wouldn't put the tape in the centre of your sheets just incase there is an issue getting it off or any residue affecting finishes applied
