I was supplied a stable a door and frame, unhung. Softwood, outwards opening. It’s too small for the frame to the extent it just about latches and the door just overlaps the inside of the frame by around 5mm. It’s for a shepherds hut I’m building and doesn’t seem right lock is exposed etc. and...

I'm trying to find an LED solution to replace some fluorescent uplights on top of kitchen cabinets. There are various lengths from 1ft to 3ft, and I'm replacing them every other year so thinking on replacing them with LED. I have a high ceiling so they would need a 'flood' effect similar to...

Has anyone managed to get WINTEX to work with any of the Windows emulators for MAC OS? I thought I had an old windows machine but it's well and truly dead :-( I suspect I'll need to borrow or purchase a second. Thanks

The backplate has come away from the through wall copper pipe from my outdoor tap. I have about an inch of copper pipe to work with on the outside with no access to the inside. I've tried unsuccessfully to solder it back on as there's not much access to the joint, does anyone know if you can...

We've just had an enclosed porch built and we would like to build a oak bench with some shelves for shoes underneath. Our first quote was over £1000 :-) so I'm going for diy. The bench will be bridging across some breeze blocks that make the porch foundation. The area of timber required is...

I don't think I've ever deliberated so much over something that should be simple.... We've just fitted an Oak frame and glazed porch. We will have a single light from the ceiling. One of the 2-way switches is in the house. I can't bring myself to run a 3 core cable up the oak frame alongside...

OK, a few jobs involving 'Wood' at the moment. I have two 200mm square Oak gate posts. I probably over egged the dimensions, and I had every intention to shape them into a curve or a point, but couldn't quite figure the geometry in relation to my 185mm circular saw... ok I've been...

I'm half way through installing my English larch deck. I chose it because I wanted a compromise between the cost (or ethical sourcing) of hardwood and the thin green tanilised stuff that adorns the sheds. I'm impressed. Solid, heavy, straight, good looks, sound knots etc. Our intention is...

We have a gas rangemaster, one of the gas hobs has started burning with a yellow flame and soot. I've taken the moveable parts off and given it all a good clean. What should I be looking for? Thanks

I suspect my search terms are at fault! I'm looking for a handrail bracket to fix external oak handrails to newel posts. I guess it'll be a simple stainless steel angle bracket of the correct dimension. Any tips? Thanks
