Yeah , I did think of things like that .

Got a rough price for the timber and machining ( 160cm x 50cm ) at around £220 + vat . Notice on the quote they’ve put walnut mdf veneer ? Quickly looked at their website “ real “ walnut will be maybe 400 before machining !!! Ouch ! . Will anyone be able to tell the difference? . Also weight wise ; is real walnut going to be considerably heavier ??

I’m actually quite excited by this . Although the designer version had ‘ click for pricing ‘ - we know it would of been ridiculously expensive. So to have made something very similar for ( I guess ) a few hundred quid is awesome ! . The practicality of recessed flipable hooks is largely pointless as coats will always be hanging on them ?

The company is being really good ! ( must know I’m an inept joiner ) . I can send them 1 hook and the recessed hangers - so they can machine them perfectly! ? My new motto “ out source skilled work “ ??

Oh I see ? I’ll get the company to do that also ! . Presume just 2 recessed hooks near the top is sufficient?

Well ! As you know ! . I tried every stud detector that exists - they are all crap . The positioning of this rack has to be between the door fully open and a socket - so you can bet a zillion quid there’s no stud in between them . Just aswell I osb ‘d everything precisely for these type of issues ( though I was mocked for doing it )

So this type of thing ? https://www.direct-fittingsuk.com/keyhole-hangers-round-metal-recessed-mount-insert-bed-connector-picture-mirror-frame-bracket-30mm-x-6739-p.asp So presumably I cut the plaster back to the osb and mount them recessed ?

Robbins have the timber but won’t cut the holes . https://www.woodshopdirect.co.uk/planed-all-round/american-black-walnut-timber/ have the timber and will cut the holes !!! ? My next question is how to wall mount this . Wall is plasterboard on osb - can’t guarantee where the studs are . I want a no visible fixing ; but don’t want it wobbling / moving . What’s best to use ??

Didn’t know that was possible or if supplier can do that .

? ; already emailed them

Haven’t got a router . Don’t really want the job or to f it up - hence hoping wood supplier will do the work

Yep perfect . Now I need to persuade a wood machinery company to cut the recesses for those ( no point me attempting it )

Yeah but that’s IKEA rubbish ( which I’ve installed ) . A nice slab of walnut ( i.e real wood ) with metal recessed hooks ( about 35 each ) - is what I want . Admittedly your coat won’t be on the hook long . Tactile stuff must be quality .

Not walnut ??

The company appear to be closing down. So..... I'm guessing it shouldn't be TOO hard to make my own. I see you can buy the recessed hooks. What wood do we reckon that is???

Wear pants . The burn otherwise is just too much

Thanks will order some Zinsser Gardz

Ouch !

Tenant wiped this as due to mould ( assume caused by condensation as no leak found ) ; taking paint off the wall .External wall below windows. I knocked off any loose paint and then weak pva painted over it . Trying to paint it now and the old paint just peels or bubbles . What should I use to presumably seal the wall and allow me to paint it ? ta

You’re my best mate

I’ve got a sore bit in my groin ; can you take a look please ?

Chemical toilet onsite for me over the last 3 years . Not an issue for me but the limited trades on site did tur(n / d ) their nose up at it .

And more fun when they grab the wrong hat

A good point ! . Most people arrive naked and never leave .
