I would be interested to see how you finish the edges... Post up plenty of pics if you can. Thanks Si.

I think it's either EPDM (though looking at nearly £500 for membrane, trims etc) or cheaper option (under £250) of decent 'super' shed felt or felt cap sheet. Simon.

Looking to recover my 8x6 shed and summer house roofs, as the old 'paper' felt has perished particularly at corners / folds. Once I replace the rotten bits of board, I'm wavering as to which route to go. EPDM has good lifetime, but is the most expensive, then Felt shingles - certainly look the...

Don't even get me started on BT... They are the worst company I have ever had to deal with. Just when you think their incompetence has reached new lows and couldn't get any worse, they still manage to outdo themselves. Si.

So there I am sitting at work this afternoon, listening to the rain on the roof, when there is a terrific bolt of lightning and the rain starts pouring in through the roof... Within minutes, the ceilings were collapsing, and we were inches deep in water. I shut down all my file servers and...

What they needed was a cunning plan!! Si.

I went to see the HHGG Radio Show Live last night. Featuring pretty much all the original radio series cast. 3 hours of pure joy. Highly recommend it if you are a fan. Last night's guest "book" was John Culshaw, and very good he was too... Better than some of the other guests they have...

If you look at the first pic, one core piece has a stepped end, that sits inside a stepped hole. The other straight one is glued in place, meaning just one end is sprung, but is stopped by the step. Si

I had been getting fed up of loose toilet rolls floating around in our downstairs loo, so decided to pull out some scrap oak and make a toilet roll holder. First I turned the bits for a sprung spindle. Assembled spindle Finished and mounted to wall using screws in routed keyhole slots in...

It's some t&g from a local timber yard. I have run some of it over the planer to true it up, and some of it's just cleaned up with a RAS. Simon.

I was asked to build a post box to integrate into this fence; So I came up with this; I decided to use tanalised softwood, which I think the client has now decided he is going to paint to match the gate. The name plates on the front are cut using my 3d pantograph in oiled oak to match the...

Fischer fixings or resin... Si.

It's the MOF001 (1400W) model, though I believe the original 2Kw TRA/B001 has the same hole PCD. Not sure about the wee new one... Si.
