damn missed it

I generally go to the carboot every week if i can. I don't find something every time but i do try to find little odd ball things i can turn into something or a good deal. This week was especially good! For a Tenner I got a hand cranked grinder, four half decent casters, two engineer squares...

whoops I'll try and keep it G rated.

Oh Thanks a lot by the way i read through this article and it has energized me once again to continue buying all the little bits and ****s for my cnc. I lost momentum. Hard to believe it's made mostly out of wood. a very nice job indeed. He probably used his old cnc to build his new one...

It's going to be the front. The back is going to be black. It's going to POP! as they say. Its just getting the time. With work and trying to get the shop in order, etc. Hoperully this year.

Sorry Jimi i forgot about posting the pics. And i got a lovely piece of spalted maple i'm going to turn into one of these http://benedetto-guitars.com/model_benny.php

my phone only has a 2 mega pixel cam on it :cry:

I have the older green one 12 x 9 and it still runs like a dream! Very simple to set up and adjust and very heavy! If you get on you won't regret it.

mmmm that looks good! My phone is dead right now but i'll post some maple i'm turning into a violin. I've only got the sides done and glued, oh and some of the neck carved. That quilted Maple though is much nicer the tiger and curly maple. I've seen a couple of guitars made from it and its...

Well i wouldn't even think about it if it wasn't in a state. It was poured in about 6 pours non of which are remotely flat or level. It is hard to even sweep it.

exactly what i was thinking but i wasn't going to stick me neck out. Surely it is to valuable for that?

There is a reserve on it? Am i missing something?

hmmm ok below grade i was antisipating filling all gaps with a thicker tar product I only know it as pitch, it has to be trowelled on after it is clean and dry. Then paint on at least two maybe three coats of bitumen paint. This will go all the way up to 8 inches above grade. After this has...

What is the perforated drain pipe and gravel i'm back filling it with? I built houses in north America for approximately 20 years so i think i can say with confidence that what i'm suggesting is exactly how they build them there. The dimpled membrane is only extra insurance and is not necessary...

I won't be able to lower the grade the whole property slopes to the shop and as i said my partner wants a raised bed along that wall. This is why i introduced the idea of an exterior damp proofing to see what people thought. However no one seems to think much of it at all. Is it people don't...

Well it's bad enough that anything put in close proximitry to the wall or on the floor it gets wet. I can't store wood against the wall or lean plywood up against the wall at all. I cut a kitchen and stacked it up against the wall so that when it was time to put them together i was a head of...

I did a little jack hammering and trenching to clarify things, he did put a course of blocks under ground. So by your definition of a couple rows of brick being a foundation i guess it has one. The other thing is my partner wants to put a raised bed on one side of the shop and want to paint...

I'm just curious why you wouldn't apply bitumen to concrete below grade? Wouldn't you want to stop moisture before it gets into the foundation?

Thanks everyone for your advice. Its funny Brad that was the original idea, to spray it. When i learned it would be over a £1000 i decided to look for other options. I will have to go with the spray insulation. Anyone know where the best deal is on that? I've found Xpandi foam has anyone...
