lol - I know what you mean.. I have just found these - different (amusing) name - Sex bolts and Mating screws (aka known as barrel nuts and Chicago bolts) - these are imperial - but the fixings I have probably are too: http://www.boltdepot.com/Sex_bolts_and_Mating_screws.aspx These...

Indeed - I am kicking myself as when one did go, they were still in business and got it replaced (still under warranty) - thinking that they were a common fixing, I didn't think of getting a world supply - DOH!

Found this: http://www.fkmoore.com/zencart/documents/Catalogue.pdf check out p23 - similar/same things - interscrews, although the fact they are for brochures, catalogues, menus, swatches, I doubt they are very strong. On p12 there are machine screws that could be with the cup washers and...

they must be something only available in Asia somewhere - the place I got the furniture from have it shipped over from Thailand - or somewhere similar. They have gone out of business now (probably the same place as the guy in the other post linked to above). I think a bit of thinking out...

Hi - Just looking at your post on the Brass Bolts from a couple of years ago. I have just posted pretty much the same thing on this forum. You don't happen to come from the Fareham area and got the furniture from a company called krakatoa? Did you manage to find a solution? Thanks Adam.

Thanks for the replies. The cloest I can find are here: http://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/Products/Cabinet_Furniture_and_Hardware/Furniture_Brackets_and_Fixings/526/M6_Joint_Connector_Bolts_Nickel_Plated/575929 and...

Hi Guys, I am having real trouble trying to locate a place to get the type of bolts pictured (tried the usual B&Q, Wickes, Screwfix etc etc). I cannot even google them - probably calling them the wrong thing?. They are used on my teak garden chairs to allow them to collapse. Many of them...

So, taking it that any/most insulation for underfloor heating is going to basically be rubbish, what would you actually recommend for the heating itself? As I said in my orginal post, there seems to be quite a few different products out there, and I can't tell what is actually...

Is there any 'good' insulation boards out there, or do all send around half the energy into the concrete?

Hi All, I am looking to install electric heating under engineered wood floor in our study. As we already have a radiator in the room (about 9m2), this will be a secondary heat source to take the edge off the cold floor - it is on the ground (concreate) floor of a town house. Looking...

Hi Opps You are correct, I didn't see your previous post - I wish I did as we obviously have come to the same conclusion :) The worktop is actually will have walls on all three sides, so the L section (or box section) could be installed into the wall at both ends, or mounted on supports...

Hi - the reason why I am looking at metal/wood running the entire length is to avoid having legs completely as I do not want anything resting on my tiled floor. I suppose I could always use...

that website also has steel (mild and stainless). I assume this would be stronger. The only reason I am querying this is that wouldn't the timber need to have a larger cross-section than steel for the same strength? The back and side walls would be right-angle steel/aluminium as from that...

Instead of being at the front edge, could I put several - maybe 3 or 4 of these: http://www.metals4u.co.uk/products.asp?cat_id=14 and screw them across the complete length of the worktop - even maybe mount them into the wall at either end. Do you think this would be strong enough if...

I thought about this also - either using a small metal 'girder' or wood. The question is how strong vs. the size of it. I think even with two support (so 1m between) would still need stripes underneath to help prevent bowing etc.

Hi, Thanks for the comments - didn't think of the poles with feet - very good idea! As Big-all says - I will have to see how many supports I will need - I hope just two so there is space to sit under between the poles. Thanks again Adam.

What we wanted to really do it have the floor totally clear apart from the chairs. We were going to sling the PCs under the worktop attached to the underside. If we need virtual supporting (which I coming to the conclusion I do - what happens if someone goes to sit on it!), I would like them...

Hi Guys, We will shortly fitting a study in a room that will be floor tiled. We want to fit a 900mm wide, 40mm deep kitchen worktop (Breakfast bar type) against the wall (with an up-stand to hide the curve against the wall). The length of the worktop will be about 3m, and will be support...

On looking around for other solutions, rather than screeding a scope, I have found this: http://www.wetrooms-online.com/shop/wetroom-bases/wetrooms-online-wetbase-wetroom-floor-systems.html They provide a custom make base which is pre-sloped. Has anyone had experience of these?
