Does anyone know much about self levelling screeds & their strength?
Basically I'm considering using it on a portion of a workshop floor, to give me a level area to lay out large jobs on / draw on etc.
I asked the landlord about potentially digging up a portion of the floor to relay a concrete...
Thanks all. Assuming the towing capacity is circa 2 tonnes, that includes trailer weight, right? So assuming a trailer weighs approx 1 tonne, I can load the trailer to approx 1 tonne?
Never going to buy a big Ifor Williams etc, just trying to get my head around the maths. Got some railing panels...
Hi, can anyone help me understand these numbers as they don't seem to tally with what I see on the web when I Google the answer...
These are the specs off my 2015 1.6L Vivaro. Top down it is:
Permissable gross vehicle weight rating
Permissable combination weight
Max front axle load
Max rear axle...
Good question. Ultimately I want to make my process of sketching by hand, quicker.
I often do things like take a picture of a client's wall where a gate's going to go, then I print it out & draw multiple versions of gate ideas on the print-out, then scan it & send it back to them.
If I could...
Hi all, can anyone recommend easy to use designing/sketching programmes that may be useful for designing gates/forged details/sculptures etc?
As much as I'd love the time to learn a full CAD programme, that just ain't happening.
My Dad gifted me his iPad as he didn't know how to use it, (me...
Hi folks, can anyone help direct me to a supplier of very small winches? Ideally in a nice material like brass, for aesthetics.
I want to make some window blinds that raise from the bottom & I was thinking that if there was a small wall mounted winch, it could drive a chain that runs vertically...
Cheers for all the help folks. I think what I'm going to do in the end is buy via a local hire & sales company who service all their forklifts they hire out, then give them a full service before they're sold.
There's a 1.8ton 2018 machine they've got for £6.5k + VAT which I think I'll probably...
I'm confused, do you mean you have seen the exact same one I have been told about, or you generically know of the same machine? The one I've been told about is £7500+VAT, which is seemingly quite cheap.
I think on the farm it'd just be me and the cows. For the most part I can handball off the types of steel I buy, but every so often I need something heavy.
Also, gates & railings get heavy when they all start getting riveted together, so something to carry them around the workshop for me would...
Hi all, I'm looking at a new unit on a farm that'll be a big improvement on my current unit, but there's still some lumps & bumps to the yard.
I've been considering buying a forklift but haven't ruled out a manual forklift/stacker for sake of unloading steel lorries etc.
What sort of lifting...
I've just remembered that a bit of a walk away on the farm site there is a toilet (and shower block from memory?) but I'd still prefer to have a toilet within my workshop.
Is there a typical system where the contents of one toilet can be transferred to a mains toilet? I'd never heard of an IBC...
I have my eye on a large farm barn, 17m x 9m, to relocate my workshop to.
It's just a large no frills barn, but I'd like some form of office & toilet within it. There is a tap & water supply but I'm told a soil pipe couldn't be plumbed in, which is a shame.
I imagine an old Portacabin or a...
