Have 2 of the long wooden handled Yankees one with Philips, one with slotted bit; I don't use them anymore, if anyone feels nostalgic and wants them, make me an offer?

I like my Scheppach PL45, bought secondhand with 2x700mm rails. Good for occasional use; just cut a load of worktops with it today with ease. Don't suppose anyone has a pdf/ link to user manual?

Thanks COWS. I will go and have an exact measure up later this week and discuss having a smaller depth- what would you suggest? Only reason will be using mdf is that I do not plaster and getting a plasterer in will cost quite a bit more.

Great job, got to do the same for a friend

Ceiling trough- sorry should have explained- like a dwarf ceiling o project about 18" from wall and take concealed led strip like you see in restaurants? I thought timber frame with thin mdf might be lighter? Not bothered about fire resistance as ceiling above is lath and plaster.

Has anyone made one of these? Have been asked to construct one in a 12'x12' room for a friend; I don't plaster so am thinking construct a lightish frame of 2x1 or 3x1 and then clad with thin mdf but am wondering if even that may sag mid span? What are your thoughts please?

+1 for cheap lino Easy to roll up, impact resistant, easy to clean

Had a Spiralux a while back, only really any good for plastics and light woods, sold it cos wouldnt handle anything further. Like you, I used fret saw blades with the pegs knocked out. There should be a bit of tension on blade which sometimes if blade a bit long had to snap a bit off with...

Just never had to produce something this long and thin. As a one off going to use v simple taper jig (had to watch a few videos for ideas), never had need of one before. Think he needed add his clamps closer to cut edge, thats all!

Yes, thought it might be a bit aggressive for this finer work?

Hi, Can anyone tell me please how to make a long thin wedge- haven't got the exact measurements in front of me, but about 10mm thick, 50cm long tapering down from about 10mm to nothing? I've had a go but because it is so thin, was aborted attempt! Its a sliver to insert in door surround to stop...

Cos they have never been there before lol?

Thats the type yes. Have had cortisone injections in past too, good luck, I feel your pain!

Try an epicondylitus clasp- I have 2 of them that I wore for a couple of years on and off till mine improved and then again occasionally since. They really do work. First had acute pains in my elbows at age 25, now 58. The thing that really sorted my tennis elbow out was stopping repetitive...

Got an Elvicta lead dresser/ slapper here and bossing egg (could be drilled to have handle attached to act as bossing mallet if preferred) both in beech if you want to send me a PM? Cant see how to send you a PM....

Approx 20 years ago, my parents fitted evacuated tubes for water heating, saved a lot of money. Prob about 10 years ago installed solar panels under FITS scheme and saved even more. Then a year or 2 after, removed old their gas boiler and installed an air heat pump (at the time govt were...
