This video from Skill Builder explains about installing Dry Rods. Easy job, not £1,200 worth! Oops, double post, should have read the thread from the beginning!

You could try ButtonFix

Have a search for FTX Tracer My 8 year old son bought one earlier this year and it's well made and more importantly you can buy replaceable parts that aren't silly prices.

I haven't read through the whole thread so apologies if my solution has already been suggested. When we had a similar construction created the steel guy came up with a neat solution that means the fixing is completely concealed. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the steel without the...

Use Rockwool RW3 if you can over the standard loft insulation stuff. RW3 is designed to be an acoustic insulation and will be far more effective, has more mass (60kg per cubic meter). Just don't buy it from an acoustic supplier, they'll rip you off. I bought an 8 pack of 600x1200x50mm last week...

We use IBC containers and they work well. Just make sure you wrap the container in something to keep out the light (covered ours in a black plastic damp proof membrane sheet) or the water will soon turn green and smelly!

Thank you AES. I did do a search before I posted (didn't want to look silly) but nothing came up! I'll have a look now. Many thanks

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll tap them on and see how they go. Can always try a different technique if they come off later.

Received some new Axminster (Vallorbe) files for my birthday along with the Axminster (Python) wooden file handles. It’s been decades since I last put a handle on a file, can anyone remind me how it’s done? Think in the past I heated up the file tang until cherry red and gently tapped the...

Thanks Partsandlabour, that's quite a neat solution.

Pete. Thank you for taking the time to take measurements, I really appreciate it. Looks like the Evolution track is a similar size to the standard tracks from Festool, Bosch, Makita etc. Unfortunately it won’t suit the DeWalt saw I have. So looks like I’m after a DeWalt track to go with my...

Hunter27 Could I ask a favour. Would it be possible to get a measurement from your Evolution 2 track? Specifically the distance from the edge of the aluminium track edge to the first of the rails that sticks up on the track. And also the width of the rail that sticks up (this is probably about...

Spectric, thanks for your reply. I have used a straight edge in the past but I have a project coming up where I'll need to cut down quite a few sheets of material and a guide rail would make this much easier. As I already had a circular saw which has the ability to run on a track I was hoping to...

Thanks everyone for your reply. Especially HDC83, the photos with measurements are really helpful. As you say it looks like only the DeWalt track will work with my DeWalt circular saw. pe2dave, the base of the circular saw is indeed flat but it has the ability to attach some plastic guides...

I have a DeWalt circular saw (DW365) that I bought new many years ago. It came with some plastic attachments that allow it to fix to a guide rail which DeWalt no longer make. I'm trying to find a guide rail (from any manufacturer) that the saw will fit onto, but I'm struggling to get...
