This thread seems to keep popping up in my feed so I may as well add some more recent pictures. Martin

Our regs may well be the same as yours, it would make sense based on what you say.

I have to be honest I haven't read the electrical regs, but I think the 50mm rule applies to distance from plasterboard internally on ceiling but not the OSB or roof boards on the upper roof surface. It's super unlikely somebody is going to be nailing down through your waterproof roof surface...

I doubt you will regret building one, it's fun and satisfying and will save you money. And if you get stuck you can come back here and ask questions. Maybe do a build thread here.....

Oh and thanks for the positive feedback too, glad it's helped 🙂

Hi Matt, See below for cost breakdown. I spent 42k in total but that includes loads of extras such as bathroom, tv, pergola, decking etc. It would be about 25k without the extras. If you were to buy one like it you can expect to pay upwards of 50k, probably more like 60-70 if it includes the...

Never seen paoson before, looks great though, going to lose a few hours there later today I guess....

I'm not proposing that people build their own tools, it would be a very small number that have the skills, time and inclination to do so. But I do enjoy MWs content - it's cool that he makes his own tools, just as an exercise in engineering, I'm pretty sure that's the point and it's not...

What percentage of people on this forum sell things they make in their workshop and make a living from it vs those that do it as a hobby?

Extrapolating that thought process further... why do woodwork at all then? If you were to sell anything you make in your workshop it would more than likely result in an hourly rate below minimum wage. Which begs the question; why not just buy it. 🙂 Also, it's not 'just' for fun... It's...

I understand your point. The other perspective is that it's made in 'hobby' time not 'work' time and so it makes sense financially. As long as it's fun to make it. What do you think ?

C16 will do 1.46m at 600mm centres and 1.82m at 450mm centres in a floor joist situation. Like has been said 170kg is just two people stood close together and I would expect it to be fine, especially with that plywood you are going to add.

I don't see it as offensive to haggle, it's an offer, and it can be declined. It tells the other person what you have to pay, their response tells you of it meets their minimum expectations or not. Sometimes when people make ridiculously low offers to me I don't even respond but if they are at...

Yeah track saw and rail the entry point for cutting up sheet goods. Then add MFT if you want to add speed and convenience to right angles cutting or right angled assembly. A hinge and fence with stop block and / or measurements would be next on the list which gives more speed and convenience...

The weird thing is that Tstack is not really any cheaper than gen1 toughsystem, despite being a much worse product. No idea why they continue to make it. I suppose people are buying it 😅 I have the packout and the clips are dreamy, as you say.

That's very cheap 👍 Just be very careful not to confuse the two dewalt systems when buying though. Toughsystem vs Tstack. I personally dislike Tstack dewalt boxes for one primary reason; the metal clips! I fnd them fiddly and slow to use and they often end up failing over time. I see guys on...

Which ones do they look like? The first two which are no good (item 1 and 2 on my list) or the last one on my list (item 3) which is acceptable? Regarding the quote of 1,500 I'm not questioning the value for money. I'm doing the work myself now as a good learning experience. I also make money...

just a quick update on this point. from the research I have done about the fees for the application, and based on the fact the planning company have already executed 4 out of the 5 properties on the same street, I see no reason for them to be vague about the planning application fees. It is...

I am stuck. I have started doing the application and I am at the stage of site plan and location plan. I have read about them so understand what is expected. I think. I just can't get what I want. I have tried using the planning portal in-built location plan selector tool, but because the...

That's useful info thanks. I'm sort of on the fence a bit with how I feel about it though, I get they have to leave room for extra unforseen costs but they should know the planning application fees so why not include those, at least as a placeholder to give clients an idea. Martin
