What about a pair of patio doors where the opening door is 12mm out at the top where they meet. I ask this as i have a customer who has asked me to sort this out on a recently fitted pair of Oak doors fitted by another carpenter who refuses to come back . Theirs nothing like exposed Oak doors...

Finally some one talking sense, reading this post i thought why the heck would you want to. I brought my table saw over 30 years ago and it cost me £100 secondhand, its not got a big name badge but has all the required safety features. Its used nearly every day as i'm a full time furniture...

Has anyone noticed how this new series of Grand Designs has changed, its more about the sob story behind the person having the property built than the building process itself. We have to put up with the first 20 minutes with every one going on about how they want to build xyz with nowhere...

The haulier i was speaking to was collecting from me in East Devon and the loads where destined for Kent, thats really local ! The trees are 50 years old so if i replanted with softwood it would be the same time scale before the planted trees can be harvested. But as their are no replanting...

Talking with a timber haulier this week about the shortage of roadside timber and the way the prices are going, it turns out that nearly everything is going up to Kent to the Biomass power station that has recently started operating. They are taking everything including good hardwood saw...

When younger our kids had the John Deer Gater and that had 2 motors driving each back wheel. Had plenty of grunt to take 2 kids. If second hand is one motor missing ? Can you add a second motor ?

per week, yes, must pay more attention ! I liked how TNT and DPD had their own doors with trailers parked in them ready to go at the end of the day.

I think the tour guide said they process around 15,000 orders a day or did i incorrectly hear what he said. A bit of an eye opener as to how big they have become from their humble beginnings when they where a 2 man band machine shop, they made a lot of items for Racal in Seaton when i was an...

Hi, what are the doors made from ? I've used the products same as you over the years with no problems !

Timbersource near to you.

I use "parcel 2 go" for larger stuff or "Royal Mail" for smaller stuff. On parcel 2 go i always use Parcelforce 24Hr before 12 , i don't know why but this is cheaper than the 2 day service by 50p.

I'm surprised the care home manager has not called with a bottle of wine and a bunch of flowers, after all you could get them in a lot of trouble!

Good job you still don't have one of them "big old TV's", you would not of chucked one of those out the window in a hurry on your own !

If you haven't been in contact with the planners why not just go ahead and change the door, if they get on your case play the innocent game and say it was like for like, up to them the prove it wasn't. Take pics of the ropey area's of the old one, not the whole door just incase. Chances are no...

Are they near to a sink as they look like the wax finish has been splashed with water ? When the stripping solution bleeds out it usually shows as wet patches not splash marks. If its either then difficult to remove, apart from sanding and refinishing.

Thanks for the replies. The customer has asked me to make all the remaining windows 10 in total to replace plastic ones. So really best idea is to add this one to the list. The ones i fitted where made 2 years ago so i don't think their is much comeback with the joinery Co that made them. I can...

Been fitting windows for a customer who had them made 2 years ago by another joiner. Ok until the last one, brick opening 60 inches wide, window was made 56 inches wide. Top to bottom is ok. Painted softwood. Thought about planting on 2inch timber each side but can't see how to finish off the...

Thanks Eric, it gets hot top left of the key pad and along the top edge with this glitch . Like now when lid was lifted no wifi connection so had to turn off and reboot then all ok. Will try some of your suggestions.
