    Rattan Garden Furniture

    Looking for some ideas on how to repair / patch up my rattan furniture. Some of the rattan on the arms and back rail has started to split with the sun exposure. Its too far gone to try to repair the rattan weave. I was thinking of using epoxy rein to cover the whole arm and try and smooth it...

    Rattan repairs

    Looking for some ideas on how to repair / patch up my rattan furniture. Some of the rattan on the arms has started to split with the sun exposure. I was thinking of using epoxy rein to cover the whole arm and try and smooth it off. Anyone tried anything else. It’s a pain because the rest of the...

    UPVc Window Seals

    I have just measured a bit of the old one, most of its so deteriorated its hard to find a bit intact. It is smaller than the Stormguard seal which I thought was generic. The stormguard is 5mm at the fixing point wheras the old bit I salvaged is only 4mm. But it is hard to find any that size and...

    UPVc Window Seals

    Has anyone tried to replace the rubber gaskets (bubble gasket) in a UPVc window. I noticed the rubber in a few of my windows were really deteriorated and needed renewing. They are Rehau windows 25 years old. I bought some Stormguard buble seal and started to fit it. I really struggled to get...

    Coronet Major lathe headstock Insert

    Hi I did advertise it on the Forum but no one took me up on the offer of getting a few made. Its hard to find anyone with a 7/8" x 16TPI thread tap but the one I found is Brown Engineering in Stockport. He made my insert on his CTC lathe so would have it in its memory to make another I'm sure...

    Round Lidded Garlic Box

    I was always taught that if you couldnt hide something try and make a feature of it so I thought if I drilled holes around the box in a line and then made a small groove with a parting tool the same width as the diameter of the holes that might look Ok. Could make the groove first and then...

    Round Lidded Garlic Box

    Hi Folks looking for ideas please. I want to make a garlic storage box out of a round lidded box. It has to have ventilation so was hoping someone may have made one of these or have suggestions on how to provide ventilation without looking like I've just drilled some holes in the side.

    Candle cups.

    Does anyone know where I can get some large diameter candle cups. I want to make some candle holders to take candles about 2” in diameter or 50mm. I’ve searched the internet but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

    Coronet Major lathe headstock Insert

    Well eventually got my insert made and it turned out I knew the guy at the engineers I had been emailing for prices so got a good deal on that. My insert gave me a M33 3.5 thread so I went looking for a chuck and I found a Record Power SC3 at Elmers hardware for £99 delivered. Its a nice feeling...
