    Pergola - best fixing location (#1, #2 or #3?)

    What about green but start the screw further back and angle it into the piece below? Those proper wafer head screws take a lot of force to pull them out so I wouldn't worry about using bolts

    Productive day today ?

    Had a go at lead welding for the first time, I really should have welded the back gutter into shape before fitting it to the roof but I know for next time. I now know that lead welding isn't as easy as it looks especially on a slope or vertical joint

    Decisions you have to live with.

    If you like it that match, just reverse the process and strip out what you've done, then put a larger horizontal one in as well?

    Are any pre-made workshops worth the money?

    If you're making stuff for in the house, just make it in the house. You won't need a workshop for the kind of stuff you're talking about.

    Kitchen Plinth Jointing

    That's a worktop mate, not plinths, plinths are the lengths of timber to cover the gaps under the cabinet created by the legs

    Kitchen Plinth Jointing

    Another option is to stick a couple of end panels across the run, I.e either side of the oven to keep the lengths smaller than 3m

    Cutting mitres in mouldings

    What about a mitre trimmer? The Axminster one is £200 and you'd be able to resell it for around £150 so £50 ain't too much money to spend?

    Is there a standard way to splice in a fix for a window sash?

    I'd just make a new sash for that, or replace each damaged section as a whole, less messing around.

    Electricity pole - Cutting, splitting and using an old pole to make posts

    My dad used to cut them and split them to length to use them as posts on the farm, they last longer than new pressure treated posts.

    Birch ply warping/ underfloor heating.

    I agree but people change their mind on things just for fun. If the underfloor heating is fitted properly, there will be no joints under the floor, no kinks or twisted pipes either. I'm talking proper underfloor heating under a screeded floor not a overlay system, it would be a massive job to...

    Birch ply warping/ underfloor heating.

    Only pointless if that is 100% the place where the units will be forever, the ufh will more than likely outlast the kitchen cabinets, and people like to change their houses around so having it installed under the cabinets means you don't get any cold spots when thing get altered. I've never had...

    How do I create a cupboard door like this?

    https://www.wealdentool.com/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Beading_Large_70.html Pick your collet size and the size of bead you want and away you go. I've used them freehand in a router and aslong as you have a nice wide flat edge to run them across they've been fine. Might be worth clamping a...
