Thank you Kai. I checked again, and there is a fuse connection plate directly above he cord outlet plate. Stop me if I get this wrong, but is this so if the unit blows a fuse, the entire unit will not have to be pulled out and re-fused, and then replaced? I wired the tumble dryer into...

Hello again. I'm helping a friend re-fit his kitchen and today we replaced the tumble dryer. We pulled the old tumble dryer out from the wall to unplug it, but found it was wired directly into the wall without the use of a plug, or any apparant fuse. If we were to remove the plug and fuse...

Great, thanks. I think this job might be a little too involved for just me to complete to a satisfactory level, so i'm going to try and get some quotes from some contractors and present the recommendation to the MD. What sort of contractor would I need to look for though? Are there people who...

Evening all, The warehouse at which I work has two roller doors, one of which is regularly used with fork trucks and pallet trucks. The result of which is that the asphalt that butts up to the concrete of the warehouse floor has subsided resulting in a drop of about half an inch. I know it...

Alreet. My boss wants me to fix a shipping container that was broken into at work. This wouldn't be a problem if getting the old pins out wasn't such a pain in the *ss. You see the old pins were cut through between the hinge plate, and the hinge assembly attached to the door. I know it's hard to...

Oxy acetylene is the one for me. You can't braze, solder or cut with a mig welder, and the portability is much better (and no way can I afford a TIG). After looking around I settled on a portapack kit from www.thewelderswarehouse.com. all parts british made, and really solid (it arrived today)...

I think to get a nice tight leather fitting, it should be laced or sewn onto the handle when the leather is wet, then the leather shrinks when it dries giving a shrink wrap tight fit. Thats how they do it on some sword handles, I would assume it is the same principle.

I'll just pretend I never saw it then (walks away whistling a nonchalant tune)[/b]

Cheers Masona, I've bookmarked that site for further drooling :twisted: I see that stuff is suitbale for pointing. Do you think it might sort the problem If I raked out half an inch depth of mortar from the joints and repointed with cement made using the additive? Or does it have to be...

You're right breezer, and I apologise. I read the post you made when I was in a rush and wrote the reply. I saw the link afterwards and thought you were having a go at me, so I responded with the angry comment. Please understand that I ask questions on this forum because I'm trying to find...

When my dad was teaching me carpentry, I learned to drive in screws with a yankee that belonged to my grandad. I have one of my own now, and still use it occasionally.

Have a look at this tool here I think that is what you were reffering to when you said a crimper, I suppose it would be for when a naked flame isn't possible. anyway, see what you think ________________________________ Moderator edited to make link work

Fudge!. :cry: So this waterproofer additive, is it something that we can spray onto the brickwork? Would that be similar to the stuff he sprayed onto the cinderblock walls when he built them, or does it have to be applied during building? cheers

Thanks Jason. By porta pacs do you mean the smaller "buddy bottle" size of the re-fillable bottles, or the disposable bottles of turbogas you can get? The building is a brick walled, wooden roofed garage, seperate from the house itself. I'm setting up a home workshop for a small home...

er, why did you bother linking your reply to a thread that made you look like a bullying asshole. look, if you are just going to waste my time stay off my damn thread.

Thanks breezer, you have a point there. Do BOC have a policy on not renting bottles to under 18's?

Sorry, I should have made it clearer, It's a single thickness of brick with no cavity.

Evening folks, and happy new year My family has recently had a new garage built by a local builder, but now the wet weather has arrived we find that the red bricks on the exposed side of the garage are letting through an awful lot of moisture, so much in fact that its dripping down and...

evening all, I'm looking to buy an oxy-acetylene welder for general workshop use and repairs. I'm looking for a kit comprising of both regs, a 2 metre hose, a welding and cutting torch, and a good selection of tips (plus sundries like gogs and gauntlets) does anyone know where I could find a...

mwah ha ha ha ha! What makes you think I won't be doing the dabbing *chortle* Actually have my eye on a very reasonably priced black granite (or is it marble?) surface table, around the size of an A4 sheet for only £35, and the local college is going to sell me a load of old marking out tools...
