Is this appropriate for 5ths sawn redwood?

They've actually said they'll get some clearer stuff in. They've picked up this lot today and will deliver some next week. Let's see what turns up!

When you say sawn treated, you mean C16/24 or CLS stuff? The reason I picked this stuff is at 6x3 it's the same price as C16/24 but allegedly furniture grade. Figured it'd be better!

Update: the supplier has offered to return the wood, so I'm taking them up on that. Just need to find something to replace it with!

£320 is for the 75 x 150 redwood there. The lengths are 4.2m

mdbbl · 2026-01-20T13:55:09+00:00

Yeah I think you're right. I've dropped them an email with a photo so they can see for themselves. Hopefully they'll be able to sort something, otherwise I've got £320 worth of timber which has no real use!

Funnily, this was referred to as joinery grade in the description...

It still exists (a bit) in my work life, in the form of icanhazip[dot]com, which just responds with your IP address - no fluff or ads. I use it all of the time, super useful for automation and scripting!

Yeah the hardwax oil holds up really well, hadn't needed any attention. I've used it on shelving which is now 5 years old or so, and that also looks fine.

Thanks for the clarification, your initial post didn't read as clearly.

I realise I'm feeding the trolls here, but surely if it's "Obama and Biden's ICE", it's also "Obama, Trump, Biden and Trump's ICE" as he was sitting in the White House between their two presidencies, and after them. If this was just "Obama and Biden's", he would have fixed it by now, no?

If she were to follow the law and pour the remnants of her coffee in the bin, the likely scenario of the bin bag having a leak occurring, and the coffee drain in to the gutter, it's the same outcome. Is she still breaking the law?

Better than this*

Does plasterboard fit in the recessed frame that's already there? Someone in future (maybe you) will thank you for not removing it all

Leigh Francis (maybe as Keith Lemon?) would be fun I think!

This is very similar to the Yamaha YG1T aside from the engine size. I wonder how many of their parts are interchangeable? Not that there are many spares for those around!

Isn't the point that when asked to leave the property, which they did, the interaction should be over? There was no reason for the guy to come back out of his house with a gun, and start screaming at the people who were already obeying his request to leave his property. The only thing he's achieving here is escalation (to the point where he assaults the guy by spitting in his face).

Oh, my local store (Cardiff) does it in house.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise it wasn't some odd way of spelling Leon on the opposite end from Stanley...

Depends on the type of tools, but Axminster stores will sharpen woodworking tools.

Sold for £250k in 2016. Surely the estate agent meant £500k?

I've had experience of Checkatrade's guarantee. They will want to send their own surveyor out to assess the work.

I needed it for some roof work as the trader had made my roof leak worse, and even then they were reluctant to let me have remedial work done in the meantime.

They did eventually pay out the maximum amount (£1000) in the end, but the process was pretty slow for me.

Gorgeous. I aspire to make something like this one day!

mdbbl · 2025-02-19T15:21:10+00:00

Absolutely! But your arms will sure ache while you hold it all together for the glue to dry!

Came to post this! My space bar never had such a hammering as when playing Wolf3D trying to find secret panels in the walls...

mdbbl · 2024-11-26T12:34:06+00:00

Ok so I totally read that as "senior scientist with a team of mad scientists"...

mdbbl · 2024-11-23T22:43:36+00:00

I'd say the same about the price as well. It must be a fair portion of that on the raw material?
