    hexagon much much easier as its cutting corners off a square when you say 100mm do you mean times six ?? 100mm faces would give you something like 165-175mm face to parallel face

    How to taper a decking board

    it all depends on exactly whats being made a gap varying between a 143mm decking board over say 3m by 1mm from 6 to 5mm wont really show where as a taper off 15mm on one board will take a whole or most off the ridge at the edge off more trying to point out other options or choices are available...

    How to taper a decking board

    you would normally plan it out in the laying as in 5-7mm expansion gap between boards so assuming 20 boards wide you would loose about 1mm per board but whatever you are planning assuming 143mm wide allow at least 3mm expansion

    Mitre Saw Blade Recommendation

    if your saw is mains then saxton up to 64teeth iff its battery then up to 48 teeth would be my choice in general a new blade with 24 or 36 will be fine for a few thousand 2x1" sized mitres on pine i do have a 100 tooth that i can use on my table saw and the results are crisp clean and smooth...

    Will they be Jailed then deported?

    the problem doing this may mean the resources spent resolving the old cases where roots and ties will have been formed may further slow down the deportation off newer non-genuine cases so greatly slow down the overall deportation off failed asylum cases as fresher cases go through far quicker...

    excellent repair well done do not overcomplicate in the centre thats full off character perhaps a wax stick to reduce or indeed highlight the effect as an aside use a damp cloth over the repaired sanded area to give you an idea off what it will look like when treated as the water will reflect...

    Multiple Joints

    100% job and knock we love you please come back:giggle::giggle: that aside it would be easier iff it broke on the joint as now you have a broken wedge section and a gap so you still need an infill bit so you have the choice off cutting out the split section away from the star markatry inset in...

    Has plug and play solar now been passed, I see adverts?

    i really suspect with transmission losses and reduced efficiencies with the fact only a small part off the day gives near full effective harvesting with sun in an ideal position the year over average will be perhaps 10 to 15% so perhaps 115w an hour average or 2.2p an hour [at 20p a unit] on a...

    Multiple Joints

    my suggestion is do nothing for at least 3 months preferably even longer part off the problem i can see is you fill in with a wedge make a fantastic job and because you have filled in the shrinkage gap if it decides to expand a bit it will now be in the central section where the fantastic...
