I don't know why I didn't think of it before but there's quite a bit of info. on the www
I found http://thingsaboutstuff.com/wp/?p=169 quite useful as there's photos detailing the steps but there are numerous other sites - good and not so good.

Most impressive. The "finishing touches"- like the detailing on the corner braces make all the difference.
How'd you do the roof and ridge cap?
It looks too neat for closeboard.
It's a shame Ratty never returned to the original thread. I was following it with interest when it...
Ah, a professional!
First of all welcome to the forum Cobbs.
As you can see from my post count I'm hardly a "regular" but in my - admittedly limited - experience this is an extremely well run and well moderated friendly, helpful forum, and the breadth of knowledge and willingness to help is...
Hi guys
Thanks for all the advice. The key point that I'm taking on board is the need to get some moisture into the wood. I noticed that the handle that broke seemed very dry, and not "stringy" in the grain as I believe ash usually is. (the handle wasn't bought as ash specifically but I assumed...
A request for advice if you please.
I'm sure that someone on the forum will have the answer to this but it isn't something that I've come across before.
I have a 7lb sledgehammer head. I did have a complete sledge but, unfortunately, the handle that had been on it at least 50 years to my...
Thanks
Hi guys
Great advice! It's better to come on here and get answers from people who know, rather than a lot of contradictory info. from people with (financial or otherwise) axes to grind.
Dev - the info. in the link is great - it's what I was looking for; and as for all things computer...
Hi guys
I'm thinking of installing a CCTV system at home and I've been looking at the CCTV threads on the forum.
I'm fortunate to be in a low crime area but when we were burgled some years ago there were issues with some of the evidence the police collected being "inadmissable as evidence"...
What's the make/Model No? May be able to come up with more info. from the Web.
If it is a square wave output it can be used for signal tracing - square wave being rich in harmonics.
In broad terms, if you had a multi stage audio amplifier with no output you inject the square wave signal into...
Thanks for the response guys.
I've come across Kroil gun oil and that really stinks; and Young’s 303 (.303??)
I'll certainly have a look in the pound shop next time I'm in there, I hadn't thought of them as a source.
I might try some "home formulation" too.
For penetrating oil, for freeing...
Hi
I wonder how many forum users have come across Everyman oil?
It was made by Castrol, and I for one used it in preference to the ubiquitous 3in1
I understand that, although it's still listed on the Castrol website, it was discontinued by Castrol about seven years ago.
My question is...
Hi Delta
What a good idea; I hadn't considered the possibility of sub-contracting to Uri Geller! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uri_Geller)
astro_al I looked up Samson bender and miracle bender and found a post from Astro_al (I presume you) on Pirate 4x4 The original post in the thread from...
Hi guys; some advice if you please.
I'm looking at a project which requires an approximate 15 degree bend being put in a piece of 25 x 12mm or thereabouts flat stainless (316) bar about 300 mm long and I've little experience of working with stainlss.
One of the problems is that the bend needs...
Oh, and I meant to add, don't be deceived by their appearance. They should look a bit like (light coloured) toffee which may be the reason that you said that you thought they might be burnt.

Phew!
That was a struggle! I eventually managed to find some data for the PMR series http://www.pikpower.com/new%20site/evoxrifa_b/pdfs_b/datasheets/pmr.pdf
It seems that the Evox-Rifa PMR series was replaced by the PHE426 series, probably about 10 years ago.
I suspect that the part may be a...
Hi all
I thought that was the way to do it; only I've got some gates that I need to make for the end of the drive (sounds posh doesn't it - but it's only a few yards long) and I didn't want to get them wrong. Nothing worse than sagging gates.
I will proceed with confidence renewed - thanks...
Hi
I thought that it was normal to have the brace in comprssion - that is from the top "open" edge to the bottom hinge edge - or have I missed something?

Thanks Omniata Paul G & Weldequip. I think it’s percolated through to my brain now what I have to do. They say one picture is worth a thousand words and your photo (Paul G) certainly helped. As you say I’m only running small bottles with the outlet horizontal rather than the vertical one shown...
Hi Omniata
Yes the fill pressure of the bottle that expired quickly was supposed to be 137 Bar and that’s about what the bottle gauge on the reg. said (approx 2000 psig). When first connected. My suspicion was that I had the flow rate way too high; hence the rapid expiry of the cylinder and...
Thanks for the replies guys. I've learnt something as I didn't realise that regulators had a (relatively) short life. This one was on the machine when I bought it a couple of years ago and it seems to do what it should, although as I said I did get through 10 litres of argon very quickly.
I...
Hi, I wonder if someone can help.
After consuming a 10 litre cylinder of argon rather quickly I thought that I'd better get a flow meter to check that my gas flow was around the correct value (10 litres per minute I believe)
My problem is how do I connect this into the existing "plumbing"?
I...
