    SBS, what happened

    Too late. I ask a legitimate question on a relevant thread and I get accused of hijacking. Utter muppet. Off to cancel my annual subscription.

    SBS, what happened

    How this forum has gone downhill! Had some dick message me for "hijacking the thread" and they then moved my post. Unbelievable. Complete c**t on a power trip.

    RIP Sidewinder

    I just came on to answer your earlier post but found it gone. Why? If the mods don't want the post added to then lock the thread for further replies but again why the messing? It's rather besmirching @Sidewinder 's memory tbh.

    RIP Sidewinder

    Hello there. I've not been on here for a couple of years now (stuff). Thursday I found some old packaging from Paul so thought I'd dip in. He'd helped me with some work stuff and we'd spoken a few times by phone. When I went back to him he was too ill to help again but put me onto another...

    Identify Roof Rail Extrusion

    Tbh I'm going to use galvanised Unistrut affixed to these stainless brackets: https://callidus.shop/products/variosole-stainless-steel-roof-hook-for-pantiles? This from another manual:

    Identify Roof Rail Extrusion

    @binky , is there a rule of thumb for how many mounting brackets I need for solar thermal panels? Rough plan is stainless brackets onto the rafters, then galv Unistrut, then the panels on that. Cheers

    3D Printer Enclosure

    Yes, I'm not even going to attempt to sketch it at this time of the morning and with only one coffee in me but something like this from the top down: 1 - Unadulterated Makita battery top keeping the battery contacts and push button spring arrangement. 2 - Interface plate the Makita battery top...

    3D Printer Enclosure

    Don't butcher the Makita radio. Tbh I've a clone Makita battery that's just died. You're more than welcome to the top of that to play with. Can't post the cells as the Post Office get a bit upset. I think I started to design a universal plate that would take the top off a Makita battery but...

    3D Printer Enclosure

    Looks like the 3D printing will have to stop for a while. Laddo decided to go back to his uni house for a few weeks down in Brighton. Though he's finished uni I'm still paying for the house until August.  So unless I learn Cura I suppose I won't be able to bring my AutoCAD models to life.

    Nephew has a FLIR C2 (he's a self employed server engineer). He likes it. Certainly showed the battens in my bathroom where the Celotex is between them... 😂

    Updating Electrical Drawings

    Yes. I've it in writing too from the makers on the lines of "...when we get problems with X, change to Y". All I was really after with this was confirmation that "we", the ones doing the work have a responsibility to update drawings to reflect work we've done.

    @Geoff1946 & @Sidewinder, the mods are approved and sanctioned by the equipment maker.

    Updating Electrical Drawings

    Morning. What's the legislation that says, if as a contractor you make changes to an electrical system on site, in this case a down shop crane, then you must update and provide new copies of the electrical drawings? Something in CDM, Machinery Directive etc? Pretty sure this is a statutory...

    I get shed snake skins from a mate here in the UK and dot them around the loft in the hope of deterring vermin.  Imagine finding one over in Oz and wondering where the shedder is!

    Silicone Grease

    It's all up 't North to me! As is anything beyond the Dartford crossing.  It was a pleasant trip to get my lathe last weekend. The seller and his missus, nice folk.  It's many years since I've actually worked up North.
