  1. For a change I was kidding! Sacrilege to cut that walnut! Got the offcuts from when I tapered the bath sides: Not sure if the mills are still going tbh. None of its mine but this is the lathe I have access too. Take your life in your hands sort of thing:
  2. ? I do know it's had a bit of worm as there's flight holes. Pretty solid though. Found parts of the crossbow too! Milled from 2"x2" Dural. God knows where the trigger components or sight rail are. Also somewhere is the mahogany thumbhole butt that I hand carved with spokeshaves etc.
  3. I've a nice piece of walnut come to think of it. Bought about 30 years to make a crossbow stock. Never happened as I milled it out of ali in the end. Cut a bit of the walnut the other day for a mate needing a handle for his knife.
  4. I've got to make a set of matching wedges yet!
  5. I'm talking about getting through soft close seats! Missus now doesn't want "metal" hinges!
  6. Presumably the downside of buying "cheap" is going to be you'll struggle to get a new seat when required if you go for a cheap one like this? Is vida XL a name? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ceramic-Plastic-Toilet-with-Soft-Close-Bathroom-WC-Pan-Bowl-Seat-White-Wall-Hung-/332007350459?hash=item4d4d2e20bb:g:WCoAAOSw4DJYiVIa This RAK seems better in that seats are available for £57: http://www.britishbathroomcompany.co.uk/toilets/wall-hung-toilets/rak-metropolitan-wall-hung-toilet ("We" do go through loo seats!)
  7. That's wot she said!
  8. Yes but you get them for pearls of technical wisdom and sage advice whereas I get them for the odd witty remark, lewd innuendo and not being afraid to air my numerous faux pas!
  9. They had some love swing contraptions when I went to the Erotica exhibition once..... Quite funny to a see posh Yuppie bird spreadeagled trying them out in her business suit, "Oh Tarquin I think we should get this one but with the Connolly hide!" I like a scaffold board, did the front sliding gate in them. Turned them into T&G with 6mm ply tongues: Down near me they're: 3,9m - £10 pounds per one (£8.70 second hand)3m - £9 pounds per one 2,4m - £8.50 pounds per one Wonder how the price varies across the country?
  10. This thread is proper making me hungry.....
  11. So even though it's low expansion foam what stops the long, vertical sides bending in the middle if you only wedge the corners?
  12. As above I faffed the sill up on the Evolution chop saw! Took it over my chippy mates last night for a perfect cut on his saw. Brought his laptop back to change the DC jack in return. Maybe next weekend! Got to make some wooden wedges too.
  13. I've just inherited some boxes of assorted electrical gear and noticed there was a spare former in there. You can have it when I get around to sending that other thing. Think it might be 25mm though. Might be the 20mm in there when I go through it.
  14. Jeez the headaches I used to get with Xylene based paint! Just got given tins and a brush. No COSHH data!
  15. Do you think that might come from bending conduit as a sparks?
  16. Cheek! I started it on eBuild in March 2015!
  17. +1 on Saxton blades. I seem to remember it was JH put me onto them on the old site. I wish they would do a wood blade that would cut through 45/50mm without having to have it come up against the spot welded bit though. Maybe they do...
  18. Infamy!
  19. It's there. Shrink wrapped in plastic and stuffed inside on of the larger pipes, itself plastic wrapped.
  20. You can get your own here: https://www.aico.co.uk/publications/
  21. These are the parts laid out: Yep, I have the 90/110 adapter - see my post from Sat at 17:13 where I'd fitted it. I'd figured the euro pan connector goes into the 90/110 adapter then that goes into my brown soil fitting. The pan connector surprised me, the pan outlet can't go in by more than an inch or so!
  22. Does the kit "last"? As in I need corner tape and the liquid membrane to do my bath deck then later on the wet room corner. Assume there's no 2-pack mixing.....or is there?
  23. Wish I had a mighty sw.....
