added poignancy was the prev owner's reason for selling was he had cancer and his wife was bedridden, so travelling days were over.on the wall above the bed is a map of Europe with all the places they'd visited marked with a small star-and blimey there were hundreds of them. my friend can't...

woman i know bought this old Transit ambo for £2500, and asked me what i thought of the interior, have to say, one of the few fitouts that seriously impressed me ! looking a little tired and not my choice of decor , but great layout and use of space, and great workmanship !

done similar, but instead of trying to suspend the whole weight, of bed plus bod, i found it better to put a couple of supports on the wall to take the weight of the bed when lowered. that way the weight of the person[s] is only on the bed when it's supported. the same effect can be achieved...

i find a good scouring with sand and wire wool keeps me fragrant

have a look at this , it could be copied quite easily , to fit any van. it seems to have a bit of tube that fits across the top of the doors to keep them open and stop the roof sagging. Fiamma Ducato Rear Door Cover Awning | Leisure Outlet

finding room in a small tranny for one person over 6 foot , his wife and 2 kids 9 and 13. so that meant a full length double for the adults , a window ledge bed across the front for the smaller kid, and a stretcher type bed supported on the parcel shelf at on end , the other suspended from the...

i use a reverse [downward]cutting jigsaw blade with zero pendulum and support the sheet with 6mm ply so i cut through both. for straight lines i use a plunge saw

i too first used one as a tyre inflator in the 70s,got the idea from a Yank hippy mag called Mother Earth News, that was a goldmine of practical knowledge and ideas

son's been in my shed most of the day re-building his [almost] silent compressor. he made it from an old busted compressor and 2 fridge pumps off a couple of scrap freezers. these pumps can deliver over 200 psi, and enough air to spray paint- he use his mainly for airbrushing these pumps blow a...

so have you fell out with the river you fell in ? i'm surprised more people don't fall in the silly dithery things, meandering about all over the place like a - well, like a drunk !

i'm surprised that my preference for side hung doors surprises you ! after all, the majority of doors throughout my life have been hung this way, and they all worked great ! why would you need to leave a door open? and on double cranked hinges, the door opens 180 degrees ,so no danger of nasty...

i generally make top lockers 250mm deep at the bottom and 400mm high i have an aversion to top hung doors, i feel you have to duck up and under to see what's inside, plus there's the added faff of fixing a stay, which holds the door up while not allowing it to open fully so i either make more...

my 17 yr old builder's van

i agree about the lay on doors making more sense, but some builders have a strong urge to have all the grain matching up and running the same way. each to their own, i don't like the lightweight board, too easily damaged, irreparable and far too expensive , and boring to look at ,mostly. but if...

exactly what i meant Rob re- the corners. if you draw the rectangle of the door on the panel's reverse side, 12mm added to height and width for the template guide, then you could tape ,pin or clamp the corners in place and you would then be able to see what length the straight bits need to be

i'd use the latter if you're feeling clever- every door has the same radius corner, so you have to cut 4,which can be cut perfectly with a circle cutter once you've cut these out they can be used for all the doors and all the straight edges can be cut from straight strips if these templates are...

just in case anyone thought i was suggesting using a jigsaw for cutting a 6mm wide gap in Vohringer board. i wasn't in fact i was suggesting cutting the template with a jigsaw
