thanks for the replies troops. not really fast stuck on varnish and water or oil base hadn,t come to my mind either so good point jake. i would even consider re-oiling it too if anyone can recommend a good hard wearing product that doesn,t destroy the bank balance

I put this in general as unsure where to post it . i have a large living room that requires the oak floor refinished. Its in good shape and was wanting to varnish it after a light sanding. the issue is it was supplied with an oil finish originally around 15 years ago when i built the room and...

thanks for the replies ,i,ll have a good look at them all before deciding.

if you could sketch a rough floor plan including the next door house ,it would give a better understanding of the layout and indicate any pipe casing. also a photo of the rear of the properties would be helpful to see what the lean to is butting into.

imo :D this is possibly a leak behind the corner pipe casing.could be a dosed joint seal if a first floor soil pipe is coming down that casing (if its a casing that is or is that a solid wall ?)or a hot /cold leak if pipes are running up. rising damp would not be 6ft up a wall .damp will only...

those things could even deal with the john wyane toilet paper :Drough,tough and take no s+it

Been like that from new some years back.both installed at the same time .prob the holes under the rim not formed right is my thinking. they came with torbeck valves which didn,t work properly so swaped them out for short bent arm ballcocks. cisterns fill no problem but that bad one just doesn,t...

on the flush question,i have 2 identical toilet pans with exact same internal flush gear. one flushes fine ,the other usually takes several flushes .i ve tried everything and come to the conclusion the pan is badly moulded and a new comfort height is going in when i get time to install it. my...

hi all ,i ve been reading past posts on jigs and it appears the leigh ones are the mutts nuts . different models off them though on their web page and i,m a bit confused as to where to start . i,m looking for something with both stop and through capability and also adjustable joint size so that...

i bought some record machines 18 months ago and only now getting round to setting them up. i'm left with a black round bar around 10mm and maybe 250mm long with an orange knob on it and no idea what it is and don't know whick box it came in .nothing in the instructions shows it in the parts...

came off easy enough after the oil got to work. tried a light tap on the chuck key and away it went. all good and thanks to one and all for the info

studding connector sounds good .i ve soaked it with wd40 and will keep doing so for a few days .chuck not even working to get the connector in so thats the first thing to ease.thanks

thanks for the info.didn't want to damage the motor and as i'll not be using the chuck at any point,i did think about just cutting it off at the back off the chuck.looks like its been on for some considerable time. some wd40 then and we'll see where it goes. thanks again

i bought a saw 2nd hand a while back and only getting round to tidying it up now. its been sitting idle for some time by the look of it and has a chuck mounted on the motor. anyone know mow to remove it.

does every different blade need different clamps? what blades would you recommend for getting started

i just bought a saw and one of the blade clamps with tightening screw is lost so i need a replacement. anyone with a hegler machine point me in the right direction for spares and what exactly is the correct term for that part to order

Old thread i know and glad the client was happy with what OP did .A shadow joint can sort many things and much better finished look than trying to bluff in a straight add on piece. One wee thing though that comes to mind with what is obviously a new build. Most new houses now will have some form...

Correct ref the history side of things but as a framer myself,i,d rarely cut a mount with a larger bottom margin unless requested by the client or remounting an old item, like for like. the standard 8 ft ceiling height of most dwellings now doesn,t really require the looking up perspective of a...

carpenter you say:oops:goodness me.no way out of that other than change them.how many or is it better not to ask?

i started with pro bosch and apart from replacing batteries(nimh) had no complaints. moved to hitachi when the battery types changed(li-ion) and now have a mixture of hitachi/hikoki and quite a lot of makita lxt stuff. depends on the task in hand which i use ,esp boarding as the makita impact is...
