thanks deserter, but not sure I follow 100% How would you invisibly attach the frame to the door ? as it would be have to be attached to the door with the new panel and foam already attached to it. My idea of glueing the whole thing in place to make it in look exactly like it is now except the...

We have a very nice original (1930) mahogany front door, except for one aspect. It has 2 long panels panel and one shorter under 4 small glass panes - which I have just replaced with that natty thin Historglass double glazing. Now the only problem with our door is the panels are thin and they...

Oh I see now, Thanks Jason, 18mm carcass so a 0mm plate is needed many thanks

Jason one more question, do I then need a mounting plate with 0mm spacing? http://www.isaaclord.co.uk/productDetai ... subCat=000 I am firmly a butt hinge man and always a get a little fuddled over all the blum combinations, and have never really got the different spacings you can order...

thanks

Hi everyone, a littl problem I'm hoping you can help me with In our kitchen units, we have sliding baskets, the runners are going so I am in the process of replacing them. I bought from IKEA the Rationelle drawers with extra fronts which seem to be fine. On fitting the first I noticed they...

excellent more advice , more hand tools to consider, and after all - it's Christmas thanks everyone

thanks too Alf, busy huntin an old one

Ok thanks Jacob and Sgian, I'll go for Spokeshaves, lines and scrapers, very good advice - thanks, will keep you posted on how I get on with this tricky but quite enjoyable puzzle But first I have to figure out exactly what curves are comfortable, luckily I have a ready supply of 2mm plywood...

thanks Richard, maybe your right I just need to buy myself a high quality shave and practice a bit What's the latest thinking on high quality fine adjustable spoke shaves - the Vertias ones always seem popular especially the low angle one Any other recommendations?

not sure doing it before gluing would work as when it curves all the angles will change. Maybe a bandsaw with the table set at the required angle would do it, then I can glue the pieces oversize and bring them to the final size and cut the chamfer using the band saw, then bring it flat with a...

For a while now I have been making a copy of the David Savage Love Chairs IV Here is where I'm at so far (paper cut out showing one of the back designs) (lots more photos there is people are interested http://croeso.typepad.com/photos/furniture_making_love_cha/index.html) I have been...

I'm afraid the aluminium plate is 200mm x 180mm so I cannot drill and push from the other side. I haven't got any welding kit so I'll have to try and drill it out 3.3mm hey Jason, my book says 3.2mm for aluminium, so far the tapping has gone well so I'll stick to that cheers everyone -...

Thanks Ro - I'll try and source a large cobalt tipped drill then fill the hole somehow Cheers

I'm making a telescope mount from Aluminium, and have just broken a drill. I was drilling 3.2mm holes tapping for 4mm screws into 10mm thick aluminium plate and the drill broke, leaving a bit in the half drilled hole, with nothing sticking out. Is there a simple way to remove small drills when...

Yes I did consider that too , but the home plug seems the best way to go, a master slave kit is only 29.99 euros here, so pretty good really Thanks again everyone , excellent advice as per usual Nadolig LLawen

thanks guys - all good solid advice, I'll leave the cable for the telephone , and maybe one of those Homeplug kits will do, never thought of that. I cannot do DAB as I live in the Netherlands I'm affraid and our DAB only carries dutch carriers, so it's the internet or Crappy MW I'm affraid...

Thanks Dibs, so it seems I just connect 1,2,3, and 6 Since I already have the telephone cable running 30m under the garden to the workshop I'll just try it. If it fails I'll try laying a real cable Cheers & keep you posted Nadolig Llawen - Merry Christmas

I have been for sometime wanting to run a computer connection to my workshop as the wifi won't reach it. Main reason is to listen to FiveLive and the footy commentary as they are much better quality than the weak MW signal that reaches to NL Now between the workshop and the house I have a 35m...

Geir you will get some movement , but to overcome this I only use the slotted holes (rather than the round screw holes) in the hardware and the ones with the slots along the axis with the most movement (cross the grain). Then if it does move I just adjust the position of the runners. I have one...
