some pics of the inside.. not tidy and work in progress as time permits the uprights serve as nice recesses to put stuff, hose stores away nicely. The cupboard was £10 :D Had two spotlights and made up a track for them This is 4" wide timber I got for free, just run a planer across them...

I got one of these wireless intruder alarms. I'm more than happy with the sound it gives out when the sensor is tripped, Have placed the reciever in the kitchen window and on its loudest setting it is really loud.. loud enough to waken me up

Member here from near Antrim..cant help with the kiln dried wood query, on the tools side have you tried Denis Wilson in Glenavy, He has vans out on the road for delivery as well and is very keen to deal with

I got a box of 50mm ones recently (think they were about £2.50) discovered they are soft when they started shearing off. So only use them now on non structural work in softwood. Still Ok value, just need to be selective on what I use them on

i use photoshop all the time, you need to adjust a lot of settings to produce the picture. Here's one i done but didnt really take a lot of time over tbh

aye it was a pice of vinyl that was caught under the aluminium edge and flipped back inside before closing the doors..sometimes you'd forget and have this yellow bit sticking out like a warning strip

When i bought the berlingo, I insulated it with polyurethene cut down in thickness and put a sound deadening pad on the inside first. 3mm ply with a carpet adhesive fixed and screws to battens fixed to the reinforcing members of the sides. The van was for light use, mostly cardboard boxes. Put a...

ordered mine there on thursday and it came two days later.. great service.. Do you use any lubricant with this or just dry?

was wondering how you guys secure your workshops. I've two good padlocks fitted but was pondering fitting an intruder alarm due to having a low level window. Was thinking about a cheap battery powered PIR with a wireless receiver in the house, maybe positioned in the bedroom. Apparantly the...

got a palm sander for some light sanding work I'm doing.. came with mesh sanding sheets as well which seem to last some time

I was wondering on that too .. these type of plugs used to be fitted to garden strimmers..would they work?

the one in Northern Ireland built with 4 containers. He had a lot of strengthening to do to them to get them to work. I'm not keen on the outside steps with no handrail. One guinness too many and you may well end up in A&E

Is there any tips i could use to straighten out power cables on hand held tools. Reason being, I bought a couple of new tools, a router, planer and circular saw recently and the leads are constantly wanting to go back to how they were when they were in the box. I've already nicked the planar's...

The floor is a timber suspended. A post set into post-crete placed in a grid pattern about every 3 foot apart and the 6x2"s screwed to them. I've put 18mm ply down. Was gonna use the 5x1" boards that I got from the glass company but was gonna take a while and might have been uneven, Ply was...

went and picked up 100x19mm cladding..as you can see in this pic I needed something to show following motorists that I had an overhanging load and not get too close.. The lady in my life obliged by keeping me legal on the road :o :o

As a suggestion, if you hadn't thought of it, you could bevel the 4x1 off and make you're own featherboard, give it a good quality paint finish, should last quite a while! Regards Rodders The plan is to use T&g veed boards horizontally as this will visually help reduce the height. Had...
