Joinerysoft is actually very powerful in terms of bespoke options. Say a joinery shop has a house style for a flush heritage single glazed window. In joinerysoft you can create that style by entering every component section, rebate size, margin, check rebate, etc etc. Once you have that in the...

Dorries is a proper joke. culture Secretary :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

thats familiar territory to me. architects detail drawings of joinery often need tweaking in order to work. I bought the joinerysoft system - quite a few years ago now. It takes quite a long time to learn and quite a fair time to set up. I had a window tooling set up and often made flush...

Many thanks for the advice. This is ongoing so I will post some images over the weekend.

I am involved in stripping down and rebuilding some dormers in a listed building (C1720s). The roof structure is oak rafters coming down to a wall plate, but it’s seriously donkeys Hind leg territory. So I’m replacing some of the stub rafters going from trimmer to wall plate / window frame...

Those wall cracks look like are directly below a wall supporting a steel…although it’s hard to work out from the images. It doesn’t like subsidence of foundation issue, more likely in my opinion to be settlement after the Building works, or simply plaster shrinkage. is it an external wall and...

Estate agents have told me in the past it’s not always wise: surveyors look for freshly Plastered walls, repairs etc as it can be an indication of trying to hide something.

No, I would check with digital callipers before pushing through. Ive used the “over length and put a few screws in” on many situations. Useful on a spindle moulder etc

I used to have a Weinig 4 sided planer moulder, It would go down to about 6mm. Surprisingly it was possible to machine timber down to about 19mm x 6mm but it needed some feed wheels removing and chip breakers adjusting slightly. Small sections are prone to bounce so generally the start and end...

Air compressor fittings are a nightmare, there are loads of different types. generally though, they mostly come down to PCL or Euro (also known as type 25) the Euro ones are a bit more compact and I think have a larger bore (could be wrong). also bear in mind the BSP thread sizes, tools / air...

If they are over length, screw them to a larger board and push through. generally you would push through a piece 100mm wide x 7mm and say 600mm long, then cut to length after. most planer thicknessers would manage 7mm okay double sided tape is an option, but you need to be careful removing as...

Yes I agree, fiddling about restoring stuff can be awfully time consuming.

Luckily that is of no concern because we have an expert overseeing the project, He one of the UK’s most experienced Chartered Building Surveyors in the area of historic and Listed Buildings, he is Chair of the RICS Building Conservation Steering Group and he teaches building surveying...

Many many thanks for all the advice and info. Im back on site tomorrow so I will take some pics which should make it clearer.

One of the difficulties of construction is how to specify: even the most detailed schedule cant itemise the quality standard of every single element A bathroom fitout requires multiple stages all of which effect subsequent ones keeping to schedule on this sort of work is as much or more to do...

Thats the problem for home owners looking for good tradesmen the skilled craftsmen like yourself are only available through networking / referrals I expect you have built up a solid clientele, so new customers are connected mostly to existing ones you trust.

Hi all, Im involved in site carpentry for a grade II* listed Georgian mansion and other buidings on the grounds There is a cottage with 9 sash windows -there is a conservation surveyor expert overseeing the project he wants repair not replacement Any tips on professional repair would be...

as you say, replacement rather than refurbishment means listed consent application different styles indicate progression of the building and you cant assume the conservation officer would want replacements all to be matching style when I ran a joinery business I quite oftern heard the "cant we...

These sites should be banned. They are lead generators, thats all they are. I’m on DIYnot and I see posts by new members with issues like yours (carpentry, landscaping, plastering etc) all the time. My advice to sourcing tradesmen is: 1) ask at a local trade merchant. 2) if you see an...

Im looking forward to a TikTok of you shuffle dancing to stayin alive
