Any any idea where I could get orange from as my last comment end of these postings?

The sides then used to clamp each side of e.g deck boards.. the sides screw fixed to the bench or board or whatever

OK I think I understand confusion here now. Yes your idea is good. The only issue is I can't seem to find 2 of those orange L shaped sides which would effectively be like a mitre box. Thoughts?

Sorry Opps, not sure what you mean?. Was after something as shown orange (2 off) in picture that would fix to board. You mean space the orange bits for the widest then keep them fixed and do what for lesser width wood?. My apologies if I'm a bit confused

I could get away with 2 off 75mm high mitre boxes but im also thinking best way to have the adjustment between cutting wood A and wood B .. Similarly not sure what type saw?. Hand Chop saw or ordinary hand saw with this combo?. Pic attached

I put plank style porcelain floor tiles down in our kitchen and prior to a new kitchen being installed by a professional fitter. As time was against me I never grouted the tiles as this was a plan for afterwards. After living with this new floor, I wasn't too happy with my installation of them...

Hi, we've a hardstanding just outside the back door that's a combination of uneven concrete and paving slabs from many years ago. It's solid but not level either but does allow surface water to drain away on to the lawn borders (that's fine). Was wanting to put a little patio area over the above...

Yes its got timber batterns at either end (original) and also a piece between batterns that is in centre

Ive seen lots of wirework shelving units but i have something 'sort of' along those lines. Can you buy just a wirework shelf that could be used in my existing unit to replace old mdf shelves?. Dont need the weight or wood or mdf but similarly dont need a metal self contained. Unit. Anything...

Not sure if this is a stronger construction?

Thanks for reply TigerCubRider. Sorry for delay. We got together and chatted all sort of needs and similarly robustness with kids. Got someone to sketch the chat summary (as picture attached) and suggested 89 x 38 mm timber approx 850 x 350 mm size. They put the triangles of ply as you...
