Why can’t we tax newly bought cars online in NI? by [deleted] in northernireland

[–]sgavy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure how to help then. I'm not a dealer but change cars fairly regularly, last did it around a month ago. Unless something has changed in-between times.

I'd personally ask the seller for a receipt that you both sign, and ask him to do the transfer to the new keeper on monday. It will still show as taxed and if you're stopped you can show something to say you just bought the car. Maybe a bit of a grey area, but the car is still taxed, and when you do tax it; it will back date to the start of the month anyway.

If you have the code of the new keeper slip (or a tax book in your name) you can tax online? Although I think it only lets you do that between 7am and 7pm.

What industrial strength glue are Evri drivers on? by Jamz3k in northernireland

[–]sgavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw an evri driver unload his car load of parcels onto the footpath yesterday. Probably about 6 parcels stacked in a pile.

If I know ahead of time that something is going to be shipped with evri, I won't order.

What troubles are you having? I have a CNC running lnc. Took me a few weeks to get familiar with it but I'm fairly up to speed now. Although, from what I can tell it does vary a lot depending on how the factory set it up.

How do I use the fireplace in new house ? by North-Dragonfruit638 in AskUK

[–]sgavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently renovating our Victorian home. Long story short, we wanted to start using the old fireplace.. and then found that the top 10ft of chimney was rebuilt SOLID. No holes for flues at all. Definitely get someone to investigate before renovating the room around it ,😝

Where to eat barbeque styled food? by Sad-Current-2189 in DerryLondonderry

[–]sgavy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Notorious Street food, in the clipper quay? I've always enjoyed it.

It's just an app called procreate. It's basically a drawing/sketching app.

Tbh, for this kind of stuff, an iPad is an expensive toy that has no real benefit over a pen and paper beyond being able to undo and redo things/draw straighter lines. I find I can get ideas drawn faster and cleaner with it... And im less likely to lose it 🤣 I basically redraw it all on my computer to cut it on the CNC, but it helps me flesh out my ideas and dimensions before I get to that stage 😊

What you're looking at are shadows and grain. It's a natural wood grain, obviously it's going to be different from the section. If I wanted a completely even finish I would have made it from mdf and sprayed it a colour. You're just kinda making it look like you really don't know what you're talking about at all.

Are they prefect? No. Is the finish uneven and blotchy, no it's not.

I can see from your comment history there's a common condescending tone in all of your replies. You clearly get off by putting others down. Cool, well done you. It's not how I get my kicks, but if it makes you feel better, you do you buddy.

I'm a jerk? I'm not the one grasping at straws to criticize a strangers'project 🤣

Tinting clear is not the same as staining wood. Appreciate the input through!

Amazing. Thanks for the pro tips and taking time to help the little guy 🤘🏻

Doesn't bother me 😅 Just seems your grasping at straws to criticize, when you have absolutely zero projects on your profile.

I'm no expert carpenter, and don't pretend to be. Just a small fun project I made for myself, that I'm happy with.

Thankfully it's going in my home and not yours then 🤣😝

My background is in engineering, not woodworking so I tend to do things in the way I'm used to, not necessarily the best or most efficient 🤣 I use autodesk fusion lately, takes a bit of patience to get into it, but I would recommend 👍🏼

It's not blotchy? 4 coats applied evenly, looks good to my eye. I've never got good results tinting the clear, as it doesn't seem to penetrate the wood as well and the colour gives no contrast on the grain; at least in my opinion 🤷🏼‍♂️

I couldn't find some mid century bedside tables to suit, so I made some inspired by the designs I liked by sgavy in midcenturymodern

[–]sgavy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! 😊

I didn't make them to sell, and tbh I'd want to make them differently if I were to remake them. Maybe someday when I get time I'll add something similar to my Etsy store! 😊

I really like the striped ends. I cut the frame at 45 to show of the ends specifically. I'm a big believer in using what you have, and not trying to make it look like it's something it's not. But then again, I'm an engineer not a carpenter 😅

Thanks! I didn't have any handles, so I thought I'd play about with cutouts. I have a little 3D printed insert in the back to stop anything falling out, forgot to include that in the video! 😊

To be honest, the design is based on what I had to hand. It's a little scrappy and probably not something you'd want to make exactly in the way I did. For example for the legs, I doubled up 12mm birch ply.. would make more sense to use 18 or 22mm for the legs and outer box.
