    Lean to Timber Rafter Size

    trada tables say that 8x2 is just about OK. whats the roof currently made out of? Your other issue is that 10 degrees is into flat roof territory. There aren't many slates or tiles that work at such low pitches.

    How to secure floating floor on beam and block floor

    There shouldn't be any inherent bounce in the sub floor, it's block and beam, but the OP wants to introduce some insulation self adhesive underlays such as elastilon can be excellent.

    Wax oils or linseed oil on Floor ?

    what linseed oil have you used if it isn't boiled it will never really dry out, just soak in I would never use it for a floor it will just pick up dust and dirt for ever and a day. It will also seriously discolour and yellow over time. It also has very poor waterproofing properties. Boiled...

    Lean to Timber Rafter Size

    Not really, what is the pitch of the roof, even 8x2s are really underspeced for 4.5m span even at a 30-45 degree pitch. More importantly you say it's a conservatory, is the actual structure capable of taking the extra weight of the rafters and roof

    Anyone able to identify this roofing tile?

    I think that judging by the top fixing arrangement you can be pretty sure it is a Sandtoft, I would concentrate your search there. My guess is it's a fore runner of the Rivius which isn't made anymore. You might be just as well contacting Wienerberger

    Saw horse or work bench for circular saw?

    that's a lot of ****ing around, back in the day. First day on site, cut a pallets down to 2/3 their size and screw them together at an angle with a bit of bracing to form an A frame not the lightest I will grant you but took about 10 min s to make a pair.

    Router Table

    can't remember the last time I got the router table out. Normally knock one up when I need one from a bit of ply or MDF. Cut a hole in it, screw the router to it, make a fence up out of a bit of batten and sling it across two saw horses

    Titanium hammers

    ha ha fair enough each to their own, I suppose I've never known anything else. Seriously though I ain't going to spend 250 quid on a hammer I would want it to bang the nails in on it's own for that sort of money.
