I built a short ladder for my van a few years back out of 4x2 CLS, Notched the steps into the CLS by 1/4" and screwed through with 4" coach screws worked really well.

A scarfs for climate change art installation, our men's shed built the frames..

Can you not get tannalised timber. I would think a good wood preservative from a well known firm should do. Ronseal, cupranol etc.

But would that mean the brakes aren't being regularly cleaned abraded so we in event of accident you might have brake fade?🤔🤔

Fine kerf blades will make a difference esp with cordless saws, as will using a bigger 4-5ah batteries which can deliver more watts.

I would think you want to paint it with a sealer, to stop water getting into the concrete and cracking it? Something like a bituminous paint for instance. Or a exterior brick paint?

Unless the metal bar is deep 100mm l+ and preferably a L section it's not going to help sagging. Tbh for the price of £20 for some timber I'd be replacing it!

Certainly had the weather for it, if a little chilly! Put the coffees down and get building!!

I reckon the excel is the same saw too...

I doubt it same material as 1 tonne bags. Good strong especially as they are smaller. We made oak planters so the bags are well supported.

I don't think the Hyundai will be as good as the DeWalt / Hitachi machines. More likely rebadgee chinesium. More like excel machines...

Top drawer! For cheaper options Wickes do a £3 skip bag 50cm3 which is ideal for a 600mm planter.

No coat the bottom of the sleepers stops the damp coming up.

I'd agree I'd start with a cheap set learn to sharpen them, use them for basic work and then put them in your carrying tool bag and buy a nice set for workshop use. I like the old blue Stanley ones, good steel from days gone by.

I don't know about spares but it's well made. Motor is easly accessible as are the gears, dust extraction is it's weakness so I built a hopper and 90° soil pipe.
