  1. Coming up at Lidl: https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/p/diy/scheppach-254mm-table-circular-saw/p33704
  2. @MarkyP did similar and I think @oranjeboom too...
  3. My magnetic catches cost more than the doors they're fitted too! As likely do the stainless steel hinges... Seriously, these catches are superb. Never catch yourself again! Video:
  4. Meant buy. Cash job made up from old poles etc.
  5. Erm...YES. I meant if he fits a ladder beam he still needs to stop that twisting. Wot I said.
  6. Why not just erect a quick build steel tower and use that as your "lift shaft"? Strap to the walls rather than use outriggers. Your're so off piste with this in terms of H&S and probablyy LOLER and PUWER if you have any trades using it. https://www.toptower.co.uk/classic-scaffold-tower.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqpuo55zj6gIVVeDtCh0Odw8KEAYYAyABEgJgffD_BwE
  7. Yep. Still need to guard against twisting. A local scaffold co would likely knock you something up quite cheap.
  8. I think it's more usual to lift from a scaffold "ladder beam".
  9. IBC cage with a few mods? Ply floor, cut the front out etc. https://hambleys.co.uk/product/1000-ltr-ibc-cage-steel-frame-and-steel-or-plastic-pallet-base/
  10. Either an up and over central stirrup or 4 wire slings to a central point. Most man lifting cages that go onto cranes, even fork lifts are steel, aka heavy. Most dedicated one man cradles are aluminium. https://www.google.com/search?q=man+liftjng+cage&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiswZ38-OLqAhURhhoKHbTADn0Q2-cCegQIABAC&oq=man+liftjng+cage&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzIECAAQDVDhzgJYktQCYOrfAmgAcAB4AIABRIgBggGSAQEymAEAoAEBwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=1EgZX6yHCpGMarSBu-gH&bih=612&biw=360&client=ms-android-samsung-ga-rev1&prmd=siv
  11. Go for it. What do I know after 40 years working in the access game? ? Anti spin ropes are shite too btw. Strategically placed wall rollers can help with preventing spinning. You DO NOT want this thing catching as you hoist up. It'll overload the lifting jib unless you guard against it. Similarly, snagging on the way down is bad, they can snag, pay out rope then suddenly drop. All sorts of considerations.
  12. Have a scout round temporary access yards for a "one man cradle" maybe. Even a Solsit (powered chair) would have all the gubbins to adapt; 230V winch, secondary safety device etc. Then "all" you need to worry about is the jib up top! ? A platform on a single suspension point may have a tendency to spin. I'd be looking at guide rails...like a lift. https://www.tractel.com/en/product/solo-platform-for-temporary-access/14156?pimcore_request_source=staticroute&controller=Product&action=default
  13. Erm...no. My photo shows the batten ROOM SIDE. If you read the text I wanted a battenless fix top side so I affixed my disc of pb with a batten either side which I removed afterwards. I could get to the top side of course. Yet another way, you just have to be a bit clever getting a screw up from underneath into a loose batten above that is going to spin a bit.....if not then put the batten up first and pull it down on some no nails . Let set, then screw or just stick your disc in. Or just stick your batten to the disc without any screw and let it set. Once set, screw a long screw in and use that to pull it down into the blobbed no nails on the edge of the hole.
  14. I do know and have told you as has Peter. As long as it grips by just enough the no nails will do the rest once it goes off. The round area gets filled by the filler (odd that, eh?) you're going to smear over it once the no nails has set.
  15. 1.5cm is fine. Stop wasting your and other people's time.
  16. Hot weather...plaster type products will set quicker because the moisture evaporates. Additives such as Cream of Tartar, aka tartaric acid, aka used in commercial retarder products, delay the set. This is not a wind up. 0.75mm or a good 1" long ears won"t matter a carrot. Stop over thinking and get on with it.
  17. Something like this: https://www.builderdepot.co.uk/150mm-thermalite-shield-aircrete-block-3-6n-215mm-x-440mm
  18. Bloke in Porthcawl selling 5m scissor lifts for £450. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/pop-up-scissor-lift/254484142815?hash=item3b406fdadf:g:pBwAAOSwoMFeIY2p
  19. One of these would be ideal... http://www.gulfcoastcargolifts.com/cargo-lifts/4582276255
  20. Is it an actual cast concrete or concrete block wall? Only asking because "wall mounted" swing jibs are a thing. You would need a bfo vertical column however, about 3m higher than where you would be lifting say an upright freezer from.
  21. Wait till it fills up from the leaky roof lights then lob whatever in and it'll slowly sink!
