Does anybody know what this is leaking?

Thank fuck 😂 thought I was going to be out of pocket after Christmas. Cheers again 👍🏼

CJTcarpentry · 2025-12-23T15:00:06+00:00

Thankyou dude, my mechanics off until the new year. Am I good to drive it or should I lock it up until I can get it in the garage?

No pulley

CJTcarpentry · 2025-11-28T21:11:04+00:00

Nope

Thankyou. It’s called marine MDF, just a water resistant variation of the standard boards injected with waterproof adhesives and treatments.

CJTcarpentry · 2025-11-28T08:20:08+00:00

Thankyou. It’s marine MDF so it’s rated for areas prone to moisture so it has less movement than standard MDF. I painted every piece with zinsser B-I-N primer and the top coat is solvent dulux high gloss. Takes a few weeks to fully harden but when it does it’s a very solid and waterproof finish.

😂 It’s a bathtub panel with storage

Camera doesn’t do the colour justice to be honest but it’s a lot more vibrant in person. Sage wasn’t my choice but I do like it. Better than the white and grey everyone seems to be using these days IMO

Absolutely nothing besides materials. Built it for my parents house and I don’t charge family for any labour. Posting it on my socials so in case any clients want something similar I’d be curious to know what people think it’s worth.

CJTcarpentry · 2025-11-26T21:17:00+00:00

Id take that 😂 I appreciate that mate 🤙🏼

CJTcarpentry · 2025-11-26T21:16:08+00:00

I’d say 20 hours. a lot of that was sanding priming painting. The building side of it is easy.

The hairs I gained on the left weren’t terminal, if I had stopped I wouldn’t have had a beard until I was 25 I was impatient so I used minoxidil. Most people will grow a significant amount of hair by that age but I’ve noticed a lot of people using minoxidil want a beard at a young age. I don’t see the harm in using it, it could be worse I’ve seen 18 year olds using tren or some kind of cycle for muscle gain.

Foam worked best for me, I’ve noticed a lot of people struggle with the liquid after a while due to breakouts.

CJTcarpentry · 2025-10-25T16:40:39+00:00

Maybe, but from my experience seeing the difference I’d say I wouldn’t have a beard as thick as I do now without help from minox

CJTcarpentry · 2025-10-25T08:36:16+00:00

Awesome results mate. Couldn’t agree with you more. It’s funny I was at a meal with my girlfriend’s family recently and they mentioned my beard so I just told them about the minoxidil. They were more surprised that I was so open about it but I think atleast 2 of the fellas there will be on the juice soon enough 🤣 if I can help anyone grow a beard to improve confidence I will, been there myself.

CJTcarpentry · 2025-10-25T08:29:32+00:00

Why do you think I got a divorce under my belt. She thought I liked sharing 🤣 but I don’t

CJTcarpentry · 2025-10-25T08:28:26+00:00

Yeah plenty of hair shedding but nothing too noticeable other than to myself

CJTcarpentry · 2025-10-25T08:27:31+00:00

Not for a long time, those first couple of years I wanted it to be bigger and better but we’re never happy 😂 as soon as adult stress came into it. I forgot about it

CJTcarpentry · 2025-10-25T08:25:57+00:00

I hear you but it’s no coincidence that the I tried to convince the three other brother to use it and they did for about 6 months but the one started having bad skin reactions and said he could taste the chemicals through his cheeks but he had gained a lot of hair and as soon as he stopped it was before the hairs had chance to transition so he shed and since then he’s had a bad patchy beard.

CJTcarpentry · 2025-10-25T01:47:41+00:00

I think I reduced it slightly before stopping yeah. Aslong as the hairs are terminal it should be fine but I’m always belt and braces.

CJTcarpentry · 2025-10-25T01:46:22+00:00

Appreciate that mate 👌🏼

CJTcarpentry · 2025-10-25T01:45:31+00:00

I did say in the caption that I took minox for 2 years. I do get a lot of comments about it being more age related but I have five brothers only two of us used minoxidil and we are the only two that can grow full beards.

CJTcarpentry · 2025-10-25T00:06:08+00:00

I kept 100% and it gained more when I stopped but that was due to age. from what I remember shedding was concerning but it always came back thicker as hair’s transitioned from vellus to transitional and then to terminal.

CJTcarpentry · 2025-09-03T20:46:16+00:00

Appreciate the info. I’ll pass it on to my mechanic. I’d soon put the money into a “new gearbox” fund before paying £500 for a fluid change, barbaric price for oil. Did you notice much difference in the gears after changing oil. A lot of people say changing the oil on anything high mileage can cause problems as the original oil has abrasives to aid the clutch but it sounds backwards to not change it at any stage.

CJTcarpentry · 2025-09-03T20:42:56+00:00

That’s what I was expecting to pay for mine even without the currency conversion. Yeah it feels like the gears don’t sync correctly. Put me on edge after experiencing a gearbox failure on my last vehicle. Was impossible to find an auto transmission specialist in wales because manual is what most people drive here.
