Onoff

Nope. Didn't like the gaps between stones in the lower panel so pulled all the flints off the mesh. I now have the joyous task of picking all the silicone and knocking all the resin off the back of the flints. Interestingly the earlier ones in the top panel, that I cable tied onto the mesh, have now set. Cut the ties off and tbh they're ready to be "grouted" with the mortar gun. That is once I put back in the ones that fell off initially! In the top panel the flints are much better orientated and their faces more flush with the surrounding brickwork. The aim all along is roughly a fingers width between flints. It certainly helps being able to see the face of the flint and tweak it.

Each to their own! ? I've just done some PCBs for a lad on another forum who's making a dub siren.

Welcome. The only d&b I like is some stuff by Pendulum. The Island is a choon! Is it because they're Australian it sounds different? As for jungle... You should build a brick museum, you've got the materials for the walls...

Well...chucked in some M5 stainless studs with more of the crappy (but free) DeWalt resin. Ran a full nut down then another st/st washer. Then hinged the board with the stones on into position and hooked the mesh over. I thought I'd worked out the studs so they would project in the gaps. Nope, got 3 out of the 6 wrong! Had to bend the other 3 to miss the flints. Once on then another penny washer and full nut. The fun is getting your finger in and winding the back nut further in to push the flints further back. I don't think I'm happy with some of the spacings. Might mess around with the bottom left.

Yeah the mods will pick up on things like that, it won't be received well. Might even dish out a ban and you'll have to go through the proper channels to coax them into letting you back in.

The two corner reflector / trough antennaes I've made for neighbours work an absolute treat on DVB-T and then some. Horizontally polarized. A bit large at these frequencies. One is made from galv mesh the other from sheet ali.

A thread I put up about a mate's install: Two of my 3 identical frames showing the components: Maybe some of the pics here on p7 with the post-its stuck on the pipes might help for sizes:

That's just taking the mickey.

Pretty much what I have: The black into grey is push fit: The grey straight to grey bend, grey bend to grey bend then grey bend to brown straight joints are solvent weld. I made the mistake of using brown, "underground" pipe instead of grey . Although all pvc the brown is a bit more "rubbery". I used gap filling pvc cement there and even then went over the top with a smear of something. If using push fit always have the male above the female fitting on the slope.

You need to try new things even if destined to failure. You've always been rigid and unable to move fluidly... ?

Because these flints are quite thin as in not fist size "blocks". Many are basically conical. They've been selected for their feature face rather than suitability for a "wall". Just don't think I'll have the "sticktion" with straight mortar. Hence trying to find something super sticky. Flints are notorious for being impermeable. If you use a cement based mortar it will shrik away from the flint leaving it "rattling" around in there. Water gets in the gap between flint and mortar, freezes, blows and the flint falls out. A lime based mortar retains flexiblity which is why it's traditionally used. I'm using a part lime mortar mix with modern admix. Once in I'm going to overpaint the whole lot with some sort of a sealer. Hopefully that'll creep into any gaps and aid them staying there. Where no man has gone before etc!

Bought a cheap Aldi 50". Sound was crap. Had an old PC speaker system: & some plastic primer / black satin: Should have gone matt black. Made a new top for the old telly stand: Sounds better than it did.

You can get a strain relief plate 222-505 which has holes in to screw down: https://www.wago.com/gb/installation-terminal-blocks-and-connectors/strain-relief-plate/p/222-505 To which you clip mounting carriers: Good old chunky 222 connectors in a 222-500 carrier: Or the newer 221s in a 221-500 carrier, so the same plate fits both: You can see with the 221s you can flick the lever still/access the wire. With the 222 you have to faff and slide them all out potentially to get to just one. Which is why I designed my grey 3D printed ones. Now if I had some orange filament...and it was fire retardant...? Tbh I find navigating the Wago website and part numbers only slightly less confusing than Geberit!

I think you're taking the pi$$? ?

All I got from that was cars & babes, does it for me. Like this too:

Because many are very thin.

Erm...so new plan...

Better than ordinary "mastics": https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/WKONEGEL.html?

That was done to take a 3+2+3+5. Could do you whatever combination pretty much at the drop of a hat. What about a mounting tag etc? Always interested in a hand job... ?

Use a standard enclosure and some printed holders? I could graft a DIN rail clip onto the model easy enough.

Can't you just put Bluetooth speakers in (the ceiling) and control the Alexa via the phone, telling it to output to the Bluetooth? That's what my kids do. These similar to mine: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284239807434?hash=item422e0343ca:g:RO4AAOSwSuVhzqzC

Generally seems to have dried ok. If the resin sticks to the flints like it does my hands I'll be well happy. The odd lighter coloured blob (though not all of them) is still wet, uncured DeWalt resin from the tail end of the tube, when it was just resin coming out with no hardener. Maybe as it was a bit out of date? I'll live with it as the tube was a freebie! Resin is horrible to use from a normal gun imho. Much prefer the Fischer, space shuttle esque resin tubes. My daughter couldn't squeeze the DeWalt stuff in the standard gun. With the Fischer gun it's a doddle. The "towers" are a concern as in where the distance from mesh to flint is such I've had to build up the resin in height to bridge the gap. Now to try and "hang" one without everything falling off! Edit: Must get laddo to print up some pads for the clamps so they sit over the "+" of the mesh and don't slip off.

OMG! Ran out of the "proper", need a special applicator gun, Fischer resin and had to use a tube of DeWalt stuff that fits in a standard mastic gun. (Got it free as slightly out of date). It stinks to high heaven! No hiding I'm doing this in the kitchen.

Tears as in rips? She had your number! ?
