I'd +1 for Petes suggestion about the quality of the wood you are using. Not an issue with pine in general just the piece you seem to be using. Have a look for any local joinery firms and ask if you can have a rummage through their scrap bins.

Had one of those #-o moments, and had a search for 'mini cooper stencil' and lo and behold... https://www.etsy.com/listing/204803703/ ... or-stencil looks like this

Got some wheels to use up so another funky ford to go with this one.. This time a four seater...

Hello and welcome. You could try one of these... http://www.theceramicstore.co.uk/produc ... ackplates/ and turn your door knob with a 32mm short shaft and insert it into one of these... http://www.toolnut.co.uk/products/chise ... _32mm.html then drill and tap the bar underside to provide the...

Finished! messed up the decoration but it all adds to the character :wink: and a five year old probably won't care.

I'm not going to be cutting anything, merely closing and disconnecting the existing stopcock and teeing in to the (nearest) cold supply with the new one.

Not yet. Find a '(Original) Mini Line Drawing' on line, and then blob the corners off with paint/ Gimp/ editor of choice The beetle started with https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/418412621602465149/ which became all pure guesswork on my part, there's probably better ways of doing it, but if...

I'm waiting on a phone call from Welsh Water planning/ site man whatever he's called, to arrange a visit to tell me his requirements etc. The shared supply feeds something ridiculous like 10 or more houses and WW cannot find the leak - they mentioned litres per hour! If I install a new supply...

Joy of joys! Low water pressure due to leak on shared supply somewhere under terrace of houses. Only solution is to run new supply from pavement at front of house, and yep! you've guessed, all plumbing is at rear of house and ground floor in extensions. I'm not going to be digging up floors and...

Another tip for the memory bank! Ta.

But learnt a few what not to dos along the way. Mainly, make lines either 1 blade thick or at least 3 or 4 thick, cos when you try to cut two right next to each other the blade drifts in and out and makes a smooth line nigh on impossible. That along with my inexperience, over-eagerness and lack...

I've added your post to the metalwork section too, but locked it so any replies should come back to this thread. HTH.

Original request over in the general woodworking section. looking-for-help-with-a-project-t104002.html So if any of the metal heads fancy a combined effort with a wood head please answer over on the original post (click the above link). I'll lock this thread just to keep thinks simple.

Speak to an emigration agency or two and find out what you need. I suspect that being employed as a carpenter for years will be more relevant than a C&G cert. I'm not an employer but every 'hands on' job I've ever applied for or had has paid no heed to qualifications, i.e. the requirement is the...

Cheers Brian. It is an airbrush of much cheapness, I don't think it even has a needle :)

Generally the only chains I encounter are covered in oil :)

No not hyperlinks. Or sausages. Or a type of golf course. Or cash machines. But something I just found on the reverse side of an old tape measure I found in the dark cobwebby recesses of the garage clear out. A link is exactly 66⁄100 of a foot, or exactly 7.92 inches. Apparently :) Not...

In the paint shop :)

Something like these? https://www.pentfitness.com/lova-tm https://www.pentfitness.com/luxury-dumbbells-set I think the lack of response could be down to the fact that Whilst there are one or two pro turners here (and quite a few enthusiastic amateurs ) I'm not sure that any of them would be...
