The only slight problem with the brute force is the internal walls are thermolite blocks. You can scoop it out with a tea spoon. Would probably burst out the pin. Think I'll go with the flat welded bar idea. Will take the wood into the joiners shop for nice straight drilling. cheers
-
Thanks for the help folks. I see the problem with keeping the pins 90 degrees square with the wall and the shelf so the brackets that Chippy used or the welded up flat bar method seems the best. Will report back once it's done. thanks again. Brian

Cheers folks. Mike the 'accurate marking out and drilling' could be my downfall. Rustic is more in keeping with my joinery. Might have to take my time!! Had thought about the wall bar with welded studs going into the shelf. Might try a bit silicone in the holes to stop it moving.

Hi folks. Will be is possession of some nice waney edge oak soon which will be used for 2 shelves 36" long by 8" to 10" deep and maybe about 2" thick. Was looking at these shelf brackets and wondered if anyone had experience of them. Floating Shelf Brackets Straight type Trying to keep to the floating shelf idea to show off the wood. Any other ideas if the above wont work. Many thanks.

Just donated. All the best. Brian

Just get another customer to fill his place. More money/ less effort/ less hassle. Sounds like a win win situation!

Well done Woodworks. Thats the stuff. Now get a wee bit fillet steak on the bbq. It gets a little bit addictive and some times I have 3 or 4 tins filled ready to cook. I get off cuts from a local joiners and had a run of good luck with oak off cuts which made great charcoal.
-
You get lots of white vapour/gasses coming out the holes. As the burn gets hotter the gasses ignite. The flames settle from roaring yellow to steady blue. Once the blue flame drops off take out and cover holes with damp cloth. Just need to keep the temp up. Worth a go.
-
Cheers Catweazel. Yes tins dont last well but a do enjoy watching that wee blue flame going down to nothing. Always had a good batch every time. Something satisfying cooking your venison steak on the BBQ with your own charcoal. If my good lady doesn't object I'll try some in the local shop but as said before everyone wants Asda Price!!!

I'm even smaller scale than csservices! I make my charcoal in the livingroom. One metal sweetie tin (Quality Street etc) filled with wood and half a dozen screwdriver holes in the top. Cook in the woodburner and remove. Put damp cloth over the holes. Takes about 30 mins to cook up Definately not for commercial use!!!!!

Come on guys! Stop dissing the Scots. There not many places more honest than Fife!!!!

I just can't believe all of the problems you've had. Surely the man in the wee van will just float down from the sky at a minutes notice and fix everything! Or is that a different TV advert! I think a well written detailed letter and stick it out all the way for compensation. Best of luck. Hope you get as much as you can. Oh, have you paid for the loft insulation?

Has this been covered before? Was going to ask the same thing!!!!!!!

I keep getting calls for the previous occupier of 7 years ago, Mr Fergusson. I tell them he's dead (which he is) and when they ask for Mrs Fergusson I tell them it's a bit delicate and she can't come to the phone as she's in Prison........for killing Mr Fergusson. They usually hang up!

Cheers Rob. Got one a few weeks ago and it's great. Just what I needed to see! Now to do the rakers by machine.

Nice spoons. Love the kuksa. I have a strange fondness for kuksa. Think I've seen your web site/blog whilst looking for kuksa inspiration. 610 mile round trip is a bit mych for me I'm afriad. All the best. Brian
-
Ah, yes. A 'Night Wachman' works a treat.
-
If it's for free...........................then surely it's perfect for kindling! Might be a bit tight for splitting by hand but I'm presuming (talking artic loads) that a machine might be involved.
-
3 for the careless driving and at least 3 for the fail to stop and report! That seems to make 6 at least.

There's a couple of good charges there. About 9 points I recon. Be nice if he's got a speeding ticket already and might get a bann. Be extra nice if you're able to ID him for court purposes.

Absolutely glorious sunshine (really) but also blowing a blizzard at the same time!

I've done that but that's not where the problems lies. The thinner blade doesn't seem to push the 2 halves of the wood apart very quickly. Some of the wood seems to grip and you have to run the blade to the bottom of the log. I'd say it's about 15mm thick and sharpened. I thought a thicker blade would push the 2 bits apart quicker.
-
Mmmmm. Cheers Skyhuck I had a look on google images and it reminded me I have the 4 way splitter attachment. It fits over the blade and looks much wider. I never use the 4 way so I could remove the extra blades and give that a go. All is not lost. Thanks guys.
