Hello, so I originally brought 2 straight bolt locks that cost about £12 each, I can’t remember what brand, but I believe I got it from Toolstation, anyway, there is not enough material for the locks to actually be secure, this is why I went with the cheaper already owned neck bolt lock, so…...

Yeah, that is what I was thinking last night, but the website clearly says Features & benefits For interior use Fixings included Simple locking system Can be installed horizontally and vertically I can confirm that the bolts I got are these ones.

Hello so, I have a couple of these locks to install but may not be this actual lock, just one very similar… https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Necked-Tower-Bolt---Black-102mm/p/188020 so, I am installing this on a double door opening outwards. This lock will bolt into the frame point up. due to...

Hello So, I am sure above, I said that I know of a second hand store that gets drill presses, both floor and benchtop, well, Thursday, I ask if we can go to the store, else can I have help doing facebook searches (from my amazing mum). So, we are in this store, they have loads of items that...

I have seen many drill press stands over the last few months, and they all have mixed reviews. I am looking at many secondhand shops which do come across drill presses often, but they won’t reserve it for me, as soon as they come in, they are sold. I think one of the worst things is, I...

Hello i am starting to be on the lookout for a table top drill press, or a drill press stand (where you put your own drill in. my budget isn’t big, so either looking at secondhand drill press or a drill press stand. let’s say my budget is £50 - it’s not, but close to it… once my new car...

I have tried the free versions on things like sketch u, not wanting to spend money on something that I find too hard/complicated to use. I am not sure if it is me having problem, problem with the service/app or they have dumbed the applications down to get you to order full version I am just...

Is it worth trying? Using scrap wood first?

So, installing regular t hinges for a gate/shed door, installed inside (sandwiched) between frame and door should be good? see sketch below

So, after some research, you guys, and my mum, I am not having the doors removable. I am going to use some gate t hinge fence/gate hardware. Just regular t hinges, so just going down the simple route for now... if I want to I can always upgrade the hinges. So, are we all happy for the hinges...

Hello so, my sketches are not great, but may help you understand my problem.

I was refused any of the construction classes at school, from woodwork to electrical… why? Basically my autism and the teacher could not get on with me.

Hello so, been talking with my mum as I have realised there is a huge problem. The hinges will not fit the design of the doors to the building as my doors are on the outside not built inside. I believe my mum has come up with a solution, having the hinges on the inside of the doors. I have...

Believe this or not… sounds made up now… but I used to be really good at maths, I got a B in my GCSE’s somehow managed to get a D in English… no idea how. The following contains some of my medical history, explaining why my brain has not really kept up with everything. I now take a lot of...

I have accidentally done this myself too btw… amazon reassured me it was all okay. I think in 2019… definitely before summer of 2019, I brought a good Bluetooth outdoor speaker, but the charging port broke, so as I was away, I bought a new one, knowing I could get a refund on the broken one, so...

That is something we do have problems with, my home is under pylons, and sadly some birds somehow get electrocuted and full down like a massive rock, it’s broken our shed roof, our house roof too… Although it is now rare we also have military low flying over our home as it’s in the perfect path...

I have tried this, but most likely to work up to 10staples give or take, I am sure the spring tension is wrong somehow. The staples just don’t get pushed to the end to staple when using smaller stacks of staples…
