Hi, I bought myself the Sealey Metal bender so that I can create certain structure/s or support for the garden. Here is the link to the item: https://ffx.co.uk/products/sealey-sealey-pbf04-metal-bender-floor-mounting-32631 I have tried to create a 'U' structure using 12mm rebar that are 1.5m...

I know virtually nothing about power showers. The MIL complained that her power shower was out of action and I went to investigate. There appears to be power going to the shower and a cable on the left attached to the shower unit in the loft. I pulled this cable gently only to find it came loose...

I have changed the1/2” BSP glands on this tap but it’s still dripping. Any ideas I was going to change the tap but it seems to involve me having to remove the worktop and butler sink🫣🫣😡😡🥵🥵

I am planning on converting an old stable block to a workshop. The floor is currently cobblestone and I’m thinking the way forward is to apply a dpm like the ones used below a course of bricks. I’ll then rest 4x2 on this and then level if off, PIR insulation and then plywood. The stable block...

I have a couple of door handles that I need to repair but I haven’t clue how to tackle them. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Can someone please confirm whether the balls at the top of this plant support are actually called balls? I would also like to know if they can be bought (like finials) or how are they formed. I want to recreate something similar as I have a heavy-duty bender and rebar but would need the round...

About 20 years ago we had this unit built around a chimney breast by a gentleman who was well past retirement age. My wife now wants a unit built on the other side of the room to match this. The width would be about 2.4m. The unit in the photo was built out of MR MDF. There is a local firm that...

During the spring I planed this door and painted it. It closed almost perfectly. Now just look at the state of it. The bottom half just doesn’t meet the jam. I don’t want to take anymore off the door but if that is the way forward then so be it. I just can’t figure out where I went wrong. Any...

I have spent the last hour searching online for a replacement knob to go on my bandsaw but to no avail. I reckon I need one with a D shaft and the spindle it's supposed to fit onto is 8mm. Photos attached.

As per the subject matter. A good mate is looking to get an old recliner back up and running. Ideally wants it in metal

I have the Trend CRT MK III Router table and would like the know what other router besides the Trend T11 and T14 that I can use on this table without out having to mess about with plates and enable me to use the adjuster at the top. I have read through other threads but I have not been able to...

I have a pizza oven due on Saturday weighing in around 600kg and was going to use 200x100 sleepers to make the base but cannot get any between now and then. Available are 100x100 and 150x150 posts and I just wanted to know if a square structure with a diagonal brace within for the sides and the...

Can anyone please advice when the tyres on a bandsaw need to be replaced? Below are photos of the tyres in mind from a bandsaw I bought this week.

I need to have a beam 150 x 150 x 6400 resting on three posts with the same dimensions. What is my best option; half lap joints on the middle post with a couple of pegs going through the beams into the post? I’ll hate to attempt a scarf joint and mess it up! Thanks

Hi I plan on erecting a structure in the garden with green oak and the post and beams will be the same size 150 x150 of which the posts will be on a brick pier. The beam has to seat on top of the post in order to get to the correct height. What is the best way to attach them as it is my...

Hi, I had a couple of plans for an extension drawn up a few years ago and we never got round to submitting an application for planning. There were two plans drawn up by two different architects and paid for but one has since passed away and I can't trace the other. All I wish now want to do...

Hi, I am in need of a groove cutter for my 1/4" trend router and I have checked out the likes of Wealden and Axminster but to no avail. The plan is to put together a shaker-style door that would house a 6mm MDF panel and so I need something like a 6.35mm groove cutter. Having used Peter...

Can anyone provide an info in this planer please? I have an opportunity to buy it but the seller knows very little about it and I want to be able to compare it to other basic models price wise (£150) as I don’t think there is much difference between all of them but I stand to be corrected. I...

I have searched through the threads but still non the wiser. A friend has had this summer house erected and now wants to insulate it. The plan is to do the walls with 50mm PIR insulation. The roof has timber slats and a felt roof. Would it be acceptable to have a battens in the slots thus...
