An option would be to put a wall batten all the way round the 3 sides and then set a 40mm box section steel along front but inset 100mm. This should then stop sagging and be pretty invisible.
There are so many scams it is difficult to tell these days. My daughter sold her apple watch online and the amount of chancers was unbelievable. Even through normal auction you need to be very careful. Common scam is the "purchaser" claims didn't receive or not in box and then gets a refund from...
The aluminium track I used has lips on both sides and therefore covers the cut edge. Think this is pretty standard. I used a router with a standard 2 flute cutter. No problems what so ever. Personally I would use the router as I think you have more control of the cuts. It also allows you to...
I had a cheap titan saw. As a saw it was fine. The real issue was the fence. I ended up buying the dewalt saw (about £500) but the fence is great for general joinery work
I might have one of these in my garage as I replaced the cartridge a year ago and have just done the whole bathroom. I'm off to spain, back next weekend. If you haven't got it sorted give me a message and I will see if itbis still there. If it is you can have it
Go for the 60x60 led panels. Placed in a grid pattern approx 1.2m apart (edge to edge not centre to centre) this gives pretty good lighting. This is what I did for my wife's optician practice. Generally tools and benches are against the wall so I would have a grid that starts close to wall (in...
I think you are overthrowing the battery problem. Modern lithium batteries are very good. High capacity and low self-discharge. This means they last for a while (and fast to recharge) and the batteries are generally ready to use when needed. Probably my most used tools (diy). I have a twin set...
I have a 25l sip compressor in my garage that I use occasionally for nailing and inflating things. Boy is it loud. If I was using it regularly I would invest in a quiet compressor. They are not as inexpensive as the little ones but they are not super expensive either. Hearing omfort would win...
The slot sounds like the type of slot a domino type machine would make. Unfortunately i dont think the 4mm cutter can plunge to the depth you need. But this makes me think that the solution should be similar. This is hypothetical but if I was going to do it regularly I would make a jig like...
Go with Gu10 leds and rip out all the transformers. We had 18 off 50w gu10 halogen in our kitchen/dining room. Moved to led and saved about £30 a month (probably double that now). Personally I would just put in replaceable bulb fittings, especially if you have a lot in one ceiling, otherwise you...
I have a 240v dewalt dw708. It has a 305mm blade. Getting blades is no problem. I have had it for over 10 years. My brother has 54v dewalt tools. The batteries have a tendency to fail, particularly if used infrequently. If you are only using it at home and not frequently I would stick to mains...
For the price of a festool blade you can buy the evolution saw (about £60) and you are certain you won't ruin your festool saw. I bought one for ripping up pallets. Cuts through nails like butter so imagine 3mm aluminium would be easy. I wouldn't dream of putting my festool near metal cutting
We bought a cheap upright. It was a bit rubbish. Then bought a polti vaporetto smart 100. Fast start, easily manouverable and large water capacity. Much quicker and easier to do the floor. So much easier that we bought another 2, one for our shop and one for our holiday apartment. All the floors...
