Always worth remembering it is cheap and possible to cable at frame stage. For the distances in a house copper, cat 6 cable and coax, won't be replaced by fibre for quite a while. Cat 6 can just be coiled up behind a wall plate until needed and very simple to punch down into a connector. Trick...

All the data points from the house run back to the cabinet, they are then patched into a network switch, with short cables. The switch is the traffic manager, sending the right packet of data to the right device. The internet is patched into the network switch making it available at all points...

Cheap non stick uses spray coatings none of which I would expose food to, quality products uses processes similar to plasma nitriding. German brands like woll, lasts years. Best is vintage cast iron like lodge, you then polymerise a high smoking point oil like rice bran oil into the surface to...

Wrong continent to help with hardware, but those doors are fantastic. Tons of character. I would consider a sandwich construction single sheet of ply on the inside for strength with timber laminated to the outside. If the wood in the existing doors is reasonable would consider re using. I have...

Thousands of us, out there silently watching.... Good looking shed :)

Thanks for that had it backwards silver has a high melting point, not low. Not sure why they braze domestic plumbing around here. Steel35 - world's oldest profession, the production of alcohol, more enjoyable when its tax free lol

Confused I would have thought at 50% silver it would be a soldering process . Have seen silver brazing rods as high as 15%. Wouldn't the heat required to braze discolour the joint regardless. In theses parts plumbers claim to solder copper when they are really silver brazing. Locally commweld...

Re: Our 6.6mx9.3m (~22'x31') attached garage/workshop build (renovation?) in Australi Re LED in our part of the world check out Brightgreen LED, lumen output, cri, driver circuit is all spot on. Too much product on the market that has just been sourced from whoever as opposed to designed for...

Best surge and filter power boards are from Thor technologies in WA been using them for years. Clean sine wave make electronics very happy. However you do need to be willing to invest in a product engineered to do the job. Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Inox mx3 is my general workshop do it all. Rusty bolts, cutting fluid, cleaning plastic etc. Waterproof , doesn't dry out and protects steel against rust.

A globe tube led whatever with a CRI of 85 will give your photos better saturation.

that is just a classic black lab expression have had it used on me many times lol

Our 3 1/2 year old mastador, a rescue dog, picked him up from animal aid about 12 weeks ago. Lost our last labradaor at the grand old age of 13. lasted about a week without a dog in our lives. Just realizes I don't have any good photos of him, currently asleep at my feet.

Would bolting a 2x to the web of the beam on both sides add tot he stiffness of the beam ? Would then adding noggins to the floor joists along the length of the beam also spread any point load from the trolley further into the floor structure ?

yes good japenese brand along with gedore stahlwille all good stuff. The other wrinkle in the market is trade suppliers with their own import program, if the product is Taiwan sourced and well specced it will be equivalent to products 10 times the price. The issue is not so much country of...
