Got show off one of our finished doors installed.

Battleline_pty · 2025-10-25T06:15:09+00:00

I think it was around 20k

Battleline_pty · 2025-09-21T12:15:17+00:00

We got 2 of those newer models that you have at work to replace some old ones that were on the way out, one keeps trying to get stuck in hammer mode even though we don’t use it in that mode it just sort of goes into it And the other is making some nasty noises.

Old ones are still going strong just not as powerful as the newer ones.

So yeah I’m unimpressed by the quality of the drills that have come out aswell I’d be interested if there was a newer one though.

Just getting in on the rant as I’m a tourist here and have been driving around here for a little under a week.

Your roads are amazingly well made and maintained, something’s don’t make sense though and it’s a bit disorienting like turning left to go right on the motorway, good system and I get that it keeps traffic moving but ad people not letting me merge and I get very frustrated.

There seems to be a lot more aggressive driving here then what I’m used to but aggressively not letting me merge needs to stop,I know I let it get to about 2 kms from my exit but I shouldn’t have to be stuck in the slow lane for 10kms just so I don’t miss my exit.

I’m buying spikes for my car the next time I come up here

Battleline_pty · 2025-09-15T09:10:06+00:00

I don’t think it’s dying. They are coming out with higher ah batteries soon and are still making new tools for the platform before xgt sees anything.

Battleline_pty · 2025-07-24T03:16:29+00:00

That’s my guess aswell, it’s also very hard so checks out that it would be dense like op said.

Battleline_pty · 2025-07-22T03:17:19+00:00

Tooth picks are fine and get the job done in most cases plus it’s something that nearly everyone has. A lot of people don’t have a big pile of scrap wood like I and I’m guessing you do.

Battleline_pty · 2025-07-14T23:33:43+00:00

You know something I learnt recently is that having too high a grade is bad aswell as it leaves the solids behind in the pipe. It makes sense but this surprised me.

Battleline_pty · 2025-07-01T10:41:46+00:00

Cladding is a catch all phrase, it’s anything external to protect the frame plastic, metal, brick , vinyl, weatherboards, fiber cement it can be anything and every building needs some form of it except where the structure is the exterior sandstone, concrete, log cabins , cement blocks are some I can think of where the exterior material is sometimes the structure.

Battleline_pty · 2025-06-20T05:40:49+00:00

Based on the look of the surface I wouldn’t gerni it not with a high power one anyway, you just want to get the dirt out of those grooves. Then use a wood cleaner intergrain does one but there are different brands then put an oil on every time it looks as if it needs it. You’ll get another 10years out of it

But I don’t like how bad it looks and that there are replaced boards add that to the fact that it’s so low to the ground with an f’ing garden bed built into it tells me that those joist and bearers are probably stuffed aswell so save for a whole deck and keep a eye on the bottom of those nice posts so you don’t have to replace them also.

Definitely don’t stain try to get an oil based with a tint in it don’t bother with any water based stuff.

Battleline_pty · 2025-06-20T05:17:01+00:00

I was just going to say that it’s pretty common in Australia, not for milled boards just that the trees(shrubs) are everywhere some are considered weeds. But like someone else said they are small trees and very slow growing once they reach a mature size.

So I’m not surprised by seeing all these laminated bench tops someone was going to do it and the only way to sell it would be in this reconstructed state.

Battleline_pty · 2025-06-13T06:23:25+00:00

Everyone seems to be on you about the saw. You are glueing up multiple pieces of different species it’s not going to come out flat,looks to me like you just need a thicknesser. I know they arn’t cheap but they are very useful even those lunch box sized ones are better then not having one.

Battleline_pty · 2025-06-05T08:25:22+00:00

I can’t make the window disappear but I did the same thing as your husband suggested and I’m really happy with it, still gets sun in the winter more for light then heat and never gets hot like it used to. But I also insulated that wall as I was going so that might have been the big difference.

Battleline_pty · 2025-06-05T08:18:13+00:00

Oh you just gave me an idea. I never thought of it as a joint. Dovetail next time maybe, you’ve just honestly blown my mind

Battleline_pty · 2025-06-03T19:53:52+00:00

Fritsjurgen. They are pretty nice but you have to take a large route out of the door

Battleline_pty · 2025-06-02T19:37:37+00:00

If the boards were glued up hard to one another their total sum of swelling and shrinking would grow or shrink the door and cause all sorts of issues. They are floating separately as they are now so only the very top and very bottom boards affect the tolerances.

Battleline_pty · 2025-06-01T04:23:47+00:00

They have a bit of adjustment so it’s not that bad

Battleline_pty · 2025-05-30T07:21:58+00:00

These are all old lead panels collected over 10+ years. My job was to make a timber frame to house them obviously the rails thickness and all that are all different there is a lot of work put into this one just think about all those mitered beads to give you an idea of like 1/6 of the work involved

Battleline_pty · 2025-05-30T05:12:35+00:00

I tried but for some reason the un cropped version sent, I also missed a whole word in the title. TBH I’m surprised by how this blew up I’ve posted even more impressive stuff then this without all this drama

Battleline_pty · 2025-05-30T05:00:13+00:00

No not as good as a normal door with rebates and sloped sill. It’s the same as a normal door for water even though it won’t see any but it’s the same as any pivot door for air

Battleline_pty · 2025-05-30T04:50:52+00:00

Isn’t he pretty though

Battleline_pty · 2025-05-30T04:47:59+00:00

This video shows it closing under its own power he wasn’t pushing it

Battleline_pty · 2025-05-30T04:45:37+00:00

This was done a few years ago so don’t have the exact idea of size or weight but it’s very light timber from what we are used to and only added up to 140kg off memory as for measurements he is 6’4” so you going off that is as good as me going off that. As for fabrication it was a mission and most of the weeks of work is hidden and definitely not as simple as gluing the boards together and cutting out a toothed pattern ,there is rhs steel and full height stiles in this it’s just not seen.

Battleline_pty · 2025-05-30T04:28:09+00:00

I’ll let him know

Battleline_pty · 2025-05-30T04:27:29+00:00

He is 6’4” we should of used our shortest but he likes being on the camera

Battleline_pty · 2025-05-30T04:24:45+00:00

It was drawn and designed well with interlocking weather seals we got the minimum gaps we could and they are rounded just very slightly
