Mitres.. saw blades have a habit of following grain so as you cut the blade will bend as uneven pressure on each side. even with brand new blades to a degree, and small pieces arent easy. To get it accurate and repeatable id make some form of router sled to the angle then mitre it a few mm off...

When removing glazing beads, to avoid damage to both bead and frame edges slip 2 wide filler knives (i like the very thin car body ones) into the gap between frame and bead, working them in one at a time. Then use leverage between the two usually a blunt chisel to remove the bead. works really...

Is it valchromat?

HI Guys and Girls, I'm a fairly quiet member on here but always dropping by and taking it all in!! My friend has convinced me to start doing a few Youtube videos, based around Joinery/construction.He is editing them together for me which is great as it takes Forever. I've done a few now but...

Im Not 100% sure i understand your situation, but if your beading a panel in, pin the beads to the door and have the panel float, held in place by the fixed bead, if that makes sence?

Are you making a complete new window or repairing an old one with new sashes? If the latter, use 4-6-4 glass with low-e and Argon (most cost effective) and use a 32mm rebate, 14mm bead. U values dont matter if your repairing. Even if your replacing, new windows should, by the letter of the book...

A good way to achieve level is with a line laser. If you wanted to screed yourself, or use self levelling, drilling rawl plugs into the floor and setting screws in them every 1' square or so using the laser level to guage their height is a nifty way of getting it pretty damm level. (using a...

HI Stuart, i'd say roughly 16 hours but that include messing about with cameras etc.. (hammer)

Love the work Andy! Keep the updates coming.

Thanks, Its a lovely thing, quite jealous of it actually! The curve was cut from jointed wood, with the grain fully horizontal, as you can see, this is less than ideal in terms of movement as you have a lot of cross grain movement, hence the big gap where it meets the hinged stile, but it is...

why not use a vapour barrier behind the osb as a seal?

Thanks Andy, Yes very happy customer. The cupboard is made from Birch Ply, then painted with waterbourne laquer.

HI Guys, I haven't posted much lately but hover in the background a lot. This is one of the best forums i am on! I have been making a few videos of my work lately so thought i would share one we have just finished. It's a Corner cupboard from a customers house they removed from their dining area...

Hi Guys thanks for the replies. i used sayerlack years ago and it was brilliant stuff. I then lost my supplier so i changed, and have been to a few different brands. Renner is really good internal paint, but buying through symphony coatings is a challenge. the last order took nearly a month to...

I've recently been having problems with some Morrells products, I've tries a few other companies, none of whom I've been impressed with, is anyone on here using a supplier they are really happy with?

If you already have a compressor, and buy another, link the two together to help the demand.

I bought one and it didnt work, the motor seized, then they asked for more money (£20 delivery cost) to send a replacement out, which they would refund when they recieved the old one back, they never organised collection of the old one and the new one was also broke. their solution... youve...
