what is this CYA "Stuff"?

Barrentine is on the expensive side...

Creocote is the accepted replacement for domestic use. Comes in at least two shades - light or dark(er) brown. The darker shade is closer to the original creosote; the lighter isn't that dark. Perhaps get a tank and try it on the shed where it won't be seen to determine if the final colour is...

If the door isn't at least 18mm then you what you could do is "frame" the door on the inside with something like 15x12mm, as that will provide the additional thickness needed to successfully mount Blum hinges. And then presuming the frame work forming the door reveal/opening is wide enough (and...

Looks like there is a pine wood frame behind/alongside the MDF edge where the MDF itself has split? And the way you've mounted the door with that hinge means the screws don't appear to have gone into the pine frame work for the MDF; but into the MDF edge only? Did you drill pilot holes for the...

Ever wondered why screws etc. have a clockwise thread when driving them in/home? RH pholks find it easier to deal with them than if they were counter clockwise hand threads. Easier to rotate the right hand wrist clockwise that counter clockwise; and for LH it's the other way round. Since RH is...

Booking a train ticket online via Anglian trains... and then contacting phone support; the line I got (presumably an all singing/dancing vunderbar VOIP system) was appalling...

How's the weather in Saskatoon? Haven't been there for aeons - and then it was summer time. Down town the main streets are so wide one either needs to run like "H..." to make it to 'tother side, or take refuge on the central island and wait for another lights change. They made that way in the...

Agree that there are times when hand saw is the better option. One ought to have hand saws various "handy"... at all times.

I haven't seen a bench hook since I left 6th form Grammer Skool way back in the middle of the last century. It had been a public (private in the US/Canada) school until the education act of '44 came into force and was transformed into a Grammar School. We were fortunate to have both woodwork...

pleeze Sir: wot duz SGL stand for? I missed that class...

now that one "is" rather good - to put it mildly...

Thanks for the above... I realised after re-reading my initial post and then your response that I ought to have said "plunge saws". I'm inclined to agree that a plunge saw (with decent track lengths is likely more use and more convenientthan is a table saw; and possibly a little or lot safer...

I have Worx (Pro) model plunge saw, but it doesn't have a track system with it nor is there one about that's compatible; also it doesn't allow angle cuts... There are times when a track would be useful, especially having gone the route of angle metal strips and so on as substitute for one, with...

my 2cents worth... Have a wee box inwhich to keep them and any other similar looking keys/devices... For sure if you dump them then not long afterwards you'll find you need whatever it is you dumped and need it. There are all manner of "windows security lock keys" about; and invariably one gets...

Snap-on are very much targeted at the motoring trade - amongst others of course; and they don't come cheap. But at least you usually get what you pay for in terms of quality.

I have a Worx plunge saw (their Pro model). It's OK but lacks the option to cut at an angle; and also no suitable track system for it. Also have an Evolution circular saw which does a good job; but again no designated or apparently compatible tracks for it. So looking to replace one or both of...

Whilst in earlier times of the film industry (and theatre too) it was considered a no-no to do commercials; almost sign that all wasn't going well..., times change and now it's a recognised part of an actors income - should they so wish. And more than few have go on to promote worth causes too...

how expensive is the type of panel - per single panel/sheet?

Some things just pass one by I guess...?
