Its 16amp not 13amp runs a treat now.

Hi. My Multico 240v planer starts up but after 5secs running it blows the fuse any ideas please. Thanks

I made and fitted the woodwork on this structure to take an old bell that dings! Nice little job.

Welcome to the site.

I built this as a play house for the grandkids?

As above. Fix the broken spindle nice and straight on to the plywood, use a circular saw to make the slot, glue and slide a thin piece of timber in the slot, sand off nice and smooth.

That’s ventilation mesh.

Carpet?

Hi Stan, It must be a very heavy floor too. Have you any photos please? The floor I have been working on is in Kent. John

Hi John, Saving on material yes, the labour time of each dovetail cut by hand? Labour cost in the 20's not bad I suppose. As you say it has charm. There is another 40m of corridor to finish! Thanks John

Hi Pete, Yes they do make a good appearance but is this the only floor with dovetails in the uk? John

Hi, I am working a project of repairs to an oak floor. I believe its laid by French tradesmen but I have never seen this before. Why have the dovetail inserts been fitted to the ends (end grain)? Anybody seen these before? Thanks

Thought I would join now after 47 years in the trade. Just a quick photo of my last interesting project.
