Unfortunately a full panel won't work. If it opened inwards thats a 6ft space I'd need to keep clear whuch won't really work with what i have planned. And outward opening i'd only get about 4 foot as the land to the rear raises up after a few foot.

Hi. It doesn't sound silly at all. In our garden we have both inward and outward facing fences. This one in particular will have the face on the outside, to match neighboring fences, so the rails will be on the inside.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I'll give a little more info and answer a couple of questions to help any further ideas. It will be a close boarded fence. The gate will be full height and as yet no decision on opening in/out. Not bothered about seeing hinges etc on the inside, just hiding the...

Morning all. I'm going to be replacing our back fence as it well past its best. I'll be putting in a 6ft fence. My wife wants a gate in it but as our garden backs onto an open area, she'd like a "hidden" gate so as not to make our garden an easy target. It's not something i normally do so I'm...

What a great idea using an old hospital bed! Must keep my eyes open in the future.

Thanks for that. I maybe should have added a little more info. My son will belearning but I can already weld but I use industrial Lincoln's on 3 phase so I can't borrow one. As such, mask gloves etc don't need to be purchased. I'd have to check on wire though. It was donated but we never...

Looking at a mig welder for crimbo. Mig welder, will be used mainly on cars & panels. Have access to plenty of flux core so don't mind gassless. Any recommendations?

Lidl have what they are calling a wood burner which is basically a cheap pyrography (soldering iron) stamp pen. Might be worth a look as it's only £8.

I've had ideas of using similar blowers myself so I'll be watching this with interest.

No problem. I can always give you my email or phone number if you need a little help when your parts arrive and I'm sure others will be happy to help too.

It just like coffee cups warning there the contents may be hot. I thought that was the whole idea of coffee?!?! But that all came about after Stella Liebeck sued McDonalds after scalding herself. I can see the point, sometimes, but as health and safety becomes more stringent, common sense...

With the wiring diagrams that are already on previous pages any electrician should be able to do it. If I was closer to you I would do it myself but alas I'm a little too far away. You could order the parts and get an electrician to fit it for you which has the benefits of him being there to...

Whichever way you do it there will be some wiring involved. Can't make a plug-n-play device for this situation.

Maybe it's changed since I last looked, but the stand alone power takeoff units we're quite expensive. May be that's a relative comment to how you view things, but certainly expensive in my eyes anyway.

I bought a set of these for working in the car. I wanted something cheap that i wouldn't mind breaking when hammering or spannering, but I've been very surprised at how good they have been & not one has yet failed on me. I've bought a few sets for friends and it's been positive comments all...

Afternoon all, I'm currently calculating some founds for a dwarf wall. I've just calculated the following, does it sound about right? 4 meters long, 60mm wide, 300 deep. 10x 25kg bags of cement 432kg sand 864kg aggregate Didn't expect there to be quite as much cement involved.

I haven't read all the replies as i don't have time. However i work within education so thought I'd answer. You may find it hard to get funding for yourself but people often overlooked the funding available to your EMPLOYER for having you as an apprentice. The figures may vary from area to...

Last time i looked a cyclone from China can be had for £13 if you're willing to wait on delivery.

He's come up with some interesting and creative ideas, but found him hard to watch at times. And he seems to have pretty much stopped producing anything anyway.
