I’ll look for 2nd hand No.70-1/2 thanks

Time to treat myself to a Low Angle block plan. I have seen plenty of new ‘Faithfull 6012’ models around £23 price point, which is pretty cheap are they any good ? or perhaps a RIDER NO. 60 1/2. But more than twice that price. either of these better ? Also see plenty of used Stanley’s 110’s but...

I have IP65 boxes in the roof so could mount boxes above ceiling, but need LEDs that will be hPoy with high level if humidity when Hot Tub in use.

I added the shadow line - already wired for it, so just a few screws.

I have a wood T&G ceiling (3.3m x 3.3m) on outdoor structure. With a void in the middle of 1.5 x 2.0m Currently no lights, I had liked the idea someone posted here of a ‘starry sky’ effect using fibre optics. However, getting close to £800 to put that in place...

I have a De Walt DW718 305mm compound mitre saw. Just in front of the operating trigger / handle is a black dial .... numbered 1-5 Anybody know what that is for Not mentioned in the user manual.

I have one of those for panel pins, nut suitable for 16G x 50mm nails

I have some very old nail punches. Instead of a flat face, they have a half round ‘dimple, to allow them to fit on the head of a nail better. Are these still available, and if so do they have a particular name ?

OK ..I have a small tin of white ceramic grace grease from when I changed disc brakes on my car ...I'll use that then.

Going to be assembling a new gravity smoker. (Think auto feed charcoal BBQ) Been suggested to use anti-seize compound on the various screws & bolts. They are typically M4 Steel black painted machine screws. Any suggestions for an anti-seize paste /thread dip.

As T&GV boards already purchased..need to find a solution. I'll look at some of the links. I only need to do board ends ...and have a Trend T7 and Router table so just need to try and find suitable cutter.

Underway on a T&G ceiling cladding on 25mm wood. The wood has a V profile, (as per sketch) I could have clad in just straight runs .. but chose to have a bit more 'show' about it. Due to layout there are corner sections at 45 degree and horizontal runs to but against them. Sketch (rough) of...

Not sure what tangential direction implies, does that mean cup ‘up’. ?

I am cladding horizontal ceiling with t&g softwood. it has v-profile on both sides, so can be fitted either way up. The board will want to cup in the direction of downwards facing growth rings, so is it best to fit with growth rings upwards so edges pull tighter against the next board, or...

I can't get 100mm wide clear treated locally, so it will be 125x25 ptgv. clear treated. Looking at one source on fixing it states to "Leave a gap of approximately 2mm between each of the subsequent boards to allow for possible expansion." Is this considered best practice ? ... On a separate...

Yes, didn't mention that, but that is my plan I have bought in some PSE ready for this.

I have bought stainless nails ,, so that is sorted. Not sure what the timber will be, other than profile & its Redwood clear treated ..... or even if I can get a choice, I'll ask ....

Guys ..... related Q ...... is there any benefit to using 100 mm wide (95 finished) compared to 125 wide (119 finished) I thought first off using 125 wide would be a better choice ..... It's being run as panels 2 are 750mm wide and 2 are 1.08 wide ..... all are about 3.5m long There are no...
