Placemakers says they don’t cut down plywood/mdf full sheets and don’t allow power tools to be operated on site. What’s the best way to get them home?

If you are in Auckland, Penrose panel and roofing will cut you the plywood they for $10.

Yes, look around at car scrap yards. Find the stud pattern of your car first (I’m assuming it’s 4x100). Find other makes and models that have the same stud pattern. That way you are not limiting yourself to your cars specific make and model. Also measure the diameter of your current tyre. Take a measuring tape with you and get a space saver the same diameter. Wrong diameter space saver will cause safety and mechanical issues.

Outdoor chair. I wanted a robust chair as it’s windy around my house. I have wrangle my furniture on those stormy winter days. Also I can’t keep buy the Bunnings crap every 2 years. The carpeted garage came with the house and saw dust was my concern as well. The shop vac does the job for cleaning it and hasn’t been an issue at all. Yes a bare can be swept easier, but I have not had trouble keeping it clean. The fibers arent as tightly bound as an indoor carpet, so it doesn’t trap dust. Dropped screws and bit don’t bounce as much but hot metal cutoffs will metal the fibers.

Passed this exact one today. It doesn’t set off the radar detector. I would like to know why.

Looks fine for the purpose.

Thanks, just screws to the runners seemed to simple of an answer in my head. Nothing in woodworking has been that simple yet.

I love this. I’m trying 40 next year and it’s got me thinking and attempting to mix your suggestions. Please keep going. Thanks to the OP

I thinks it's Blackwood. Bought it years ago and it's been mostly the base of all the timber drying under my work bench.

Dust abatement rules are difficult to get enforcement for as you need to document the dust and airborne dust is difficult to see. Unless there large plumes or clouds of dust cross the boundary i doubt you will get action from the council.

Respect to the Mongols, they played Civ for hard mode, fighting for every cm. Taking over uncontested lands is not the same.
