    The 'no flexing' thing might be tricky. You can get clear CT-1 adhesive, but it has a bit of flex to it :/

    Making workshop Windows using recycled double glazing

    I've only done a couple of opening roof lights, but I did a bit of research beforehand and this... was the most common approach - basically an inverted 'U' (an 'n' ??) so the d/g panel extends beyond the opening. Heavy duty friction-style hinges, something like these did the job for me. My...

    ply or timber advice

    Ah, OK. I've built a couple of these for clients - they were MDF over a softwood frame, with thick foam board glued onto the MDF to make it easier to fix the modelling bits & pieces in place. Ply will be plenty strong enough, I wonder if you'd be able to keep it flat. Should probably be OK if...

    ply or timber advice

    Baseboard for what, exactly, i.e. what kind of weight will it have to bear?

    Marking cabinets in situ for hinge plates?

    As others have said, either will suffice; you do seem keen to make work for yourself though - surely you already have the centres for the hinge plates already marked from "...the existing screw holes for the old inline plates..."?? Assuming the old inline hinge plates were in the correct...

    Marking cabinets in situ for hinge plates?

    Unless they're oddball cruciform plates** they'll be on 32mm centres, set back 37mm from the carcass face. You can use a combi square to set the depth, but if you have a few to do then one of these jigs will be well worth the couple of quid they cost. ** just had a look at the salice hinges &...

    size of drawer box

    Fitting instruction are on the Ironmongery Direct site - http://docs.ironcdn.co/fittings/746650.jpg, link taken from this page. Looks like they're the same as Blum; inside of the drawer box = inside carcass width minus 42mm, and typically 12mm clearance at the back of the box. HTH Pete Edited...

    Essential track saw accessories (e.g. for Festool TS55)

    I'd add braided sleeving - like this - makes the ribbed vac hoses far less prone to snagging. And some sheet material to cut up, of course ;) HTH Peter

    Replacement Kitchen Cabinet Hinge Source?

    OK, let's make it simpler. Buy Blum hinges from http://www.trade-hinges.co.uk or http://www.manddonline.co.uk, with or without soft-closer, with standard (pressed steel) cruciform fixing plates. AFAIK manufacturers (certainly Blum) typically quote hinge fixing holes relative to the hinge centre...

    Nissan eNV200 (the fully electric van) review

    If anyone's interested you can go to https://www.zap-map.com to see charging points local to you, or on a planned route. Kris, thanks for that. I've just discovered the charging points local to me are only fast chargers (not rapid) so I'd be looking at a 4 hr charge on one of those, presumably...

    Build a website....

    How so? Everything suggested so far (Wordpress, wix, yola and weebly) has been an online site-builder CMS. FWIW iWeb was discontinued years ago (2011) so I wouldn't start using it now, even if you have a copy. I quite liked it when it was first out, but I had real compatibility issues between...

    Build a website....

    FWIW and just to provide some balance, I find wordpress baffling - probably because it's like operating MS Word, lol! Nothing there makes sense to me - I tried using it as a blogging platform and it was horrible. Clearly other people use it without issue, so it must just be be me... And if...

    10.8v drills.....

    Haven't used any of the above, so take this FWIW... The second Makita (CLX) come with 2.0Ah batteries, and according to the link replaces the top one (LCT); top one also has 'only' 1.3Ah batteries, and is an older model. If you're happy with the drill shape, the newer one with 2.0Ah batteries is...

    Nissan eNV200 (the fully electric van) review

    Kris, that's fantastic information, thanks very much! I've watched a lot of YouTube (including Ian Samson's 100+ hours on the Nissan Leaf) and at no point has anyone mentioned how quickly they can charge on a rapid charger. TBH even an overnight trickle charge on a 13A socket would be fine - as...

    Best cheap ROS?

    Most 5" sanders typically have an orbit of 3mm or less* (the ones mentioned above range from 2.5 to 2.8mm) so are really best kept for finishing - they'll struggle trying to e.g. strip paint, as bear tricks mention above. Nothing wrong with a 5" sub-3mm finishing sander, just be aware of what...

    Nissan eNV200 (the fully electric van) review

    Hi Kris. Thanks for this. As I mentioned in your other thread I'm seriously conspiring one of these - they're about the right size for me, a bit bigger than my current Berlingo but not as big as a Transit / Transporter, and the electric option is intriguing. 98% of my work is within a few miles...

    Queen's Birthday Parade in 360

    Makita DMR106 vs Dewalt Tough System radio

    Kris, welcome to the forum - and you're absolutely right, you don't have to justify your listening habits to anyone. I'm not a radio fan so can't help with your question (phone and bluetooth speaker for me) and not to hijack the thread but... Can I ask which electric van you have? I'm...

    Queen's Birthday Parade in 360

    YouTube doesn't support Safari for 360, but the latest version of Chrome should be OK. Plays fine on iPhone or iPad in the YouTube app.
