A mate that works in local fabricators got it for me. €250 which I thought was alright. Yeah I checked out about the bottle on the side controversy before mounting and the general consensus was argon/co2 was okay on its side. I'm quite happy with castors actually. Room is quite tight so I can...
I did think of this too but one, I'd have to recess a concrete floor for the bearing (can't be visible!) And two, correct me if I'm wrong but because the pivot point is now in the centre of the box section a wider gap is needed between the sections to allow the radius (of front left corner) to...
Hello all. I'm looking for some help to a what is probably a very simple problem but that is causing me some problems. I need to hinge a door formed from 40mm box but where the hinge mechanism is completely hidden from the 'front'. The two faces must meet perfectly flush when closed so don't...
I'm going to try and keep it looking as it is for as long as possible as I'm not a huge fan of the silver look. I've used tung oil both before and since they've been hung so we'll see how long that preserved them for. Yes I've used standard bolts, never heard of that before but thanks for the...
I did spend a while debating that and read many opinions some on this forum. My view was that by using 30x5mm (in keeping with rest of the gate) it wouldn't be stiff enough to benefit pushing from the lower hinged corner so opted for pulling from top corner instead
Ah come on mate, you're well able for something like that. It's basically a rectangular with a bit of wood bolted in the centre. I have next to zero welding experience, just whatever I learned myself. Look at the squalid conditions I even have to endure! (I have to laugh at some of the American...
That's the thing about rsj's isn't it. They are only stiff in one direction. Mine are probably just under 150kg and do bounce when closing but rests on a stand when fully open. The post between the pedestrian gate and wide gate is removable to allow wide loads around the back but it was a right...
Thanks! I'll admit, I was lazy. I didnt have a pillar drill and no way was I drilling 160 (from memory) holes with a battery drill so I came up with the solution above. It works very well too be honest. It meant I didn't have to align 3 holes perfectly and the bolt heads are equally spaced...
Thanks guys:ashamed:. Cheers for the suggestion about the wok. Had a look at the one in the kitchen and while it's looks "too domed" for the tank ends, I'm sure I could modify one for the cleaning hatch located on the rear. I think the pressed dish is the way forward, I'm just afraid to price one!
Cheers, I'll have a look at the preformed one you mentioned. Any idea what technical search term to put in Google? I've no idea what the scaled size would be but I'd hazard a guess at around 500-600mm. Don't hold your breath for the finished article..there's usually quite a while between...
