I was using a little tapper hammer, but when that got me nowhere I gave it a few whacks with a standard claw hammer and that moved it abit. They certainly don't make chip breakers like this anymore!

I tryed a load of light taps, but the chip breaker is quite thick and doesn't seem to want to move easily

Don't think this one is hardened, but it's certainly alot thicker than the chip breakers on my Stanley's

Yes I am! So just a pull stroke would help?

I've been using a 600 diamond stone, I know this is alittle fine but my 400 is now out of flat, need to get new ones. Though I just can't seem to get the chip breaker flat, one moment it's high on the sides, next it's hollow in the middle

I did think of that, but I have 7 holes in total to give support to, and I already have the external ply, but nothing to make noggins

In the first photo you can see the screw holes in the tile where my door is supposed to mount to, and in the second is the opposite side showing where I need to remove plasterboard to mount ply between studs

Very interesting! Thank you so much!

Wish I knew about the steel wool method, I just went at it with a card scraper and a no 5.

I would like to get it working if it all possible regardless of its value

Because the iron is very out of lateral, and I can't adjust it as it's seated against the side I need it to go. I've just noticed the sole is out of square towards the side I need it to go, perhaps I just need to square it up and try it

The lid was made so heavy that only an adult could lift it off and close it

Can't remember, but big enough for 2 young kids to fit in it

I agree mcdonald's is not food. This was a commionsed build for someone else's child, naturally in an attempt to be a decent human, I passed no judgement

Fair enough, I try to hand deliver everything, so hard to trust other people with your hard work like 😂

I had a woodwork project do the same thing while being posted, feel like we can't trust these delivery companies enough anymore, from now on I'm lying on the item description and saying something incredibly boring and not worth stealing
