my experience with cheap router blades is they get blunt quicker, but at that price, who cares ! when i first got a router cutters were about £30 or more, when £100 was a good week's dosh , even today, sharpening one is at least £3.

for those who haven't used them, reverse cutting blades cut on the down stroke, so all the dust and splintering is on the back of the wood, this means your view of the pencil line you're cutting along doesn't get obscured by debris,allowing for a much more accurate cut. but you have to bear...

couple of pics of the guide as you can see the guide is, coincidentally 6mm away from the cutter, so to make a door template i would cut out the shape of the door 6mm bigger all round from 9mm MDF. i would use a reverse cutting jig saw blade Bosch T101BR Jigsaw Blades 2608630014 to get as...

i've never used this knock on trim, just the 't' trim, but i seem to remember, like Steve 121 says, a 6mm bit is what's used. i would use a straight bit and a template guide, which for those who don't know, is a metal ring that's screwed to the router base. i don't know if you can get a 6mm...

wildcamping, for me, is about water conservation, and as i don't get very dirty sitting around enjoying the view, i'm happy with a stripdown whore's bath, and save showering for those times when there's an abundance of water

i think it's great ! this is what self-build is all about, if this guy, with no discernible practical skills whatsoever, can cobble together some sort of a camper so his family can get out and about, fair play to him ! seen prettier ,mind

simple cheap lightweight furniture i make the furniture from 6mm ply with a batten frame on the front .

everyone does it different. i make window and vent frames, insulate, totally plyline except for a 3'' gap where roof meets wall, rout out windows etc, make cupboards without backs from 6mm ply , then wiring plumbing and gas last. the services go though the cupboards ,along the ceiling gap , and...

my memory is rubbish, so i may be mixed up with another van, but i'm sure the headrests were adjustable and i found a way of getting them out. in the past i've cut the shafts at seat height so maybe i did that

kids climb over the front seat backs after removing the headrests

glad to hear it went ok ,come along to the Hereford meet- my tatty 17 yr old ex builder's heap will there to make yours look young !

nice job- where's the poptop from , and how did you reinforce the roof cutout ?

a simple method i've used to get rid of minibus windows is to bond metal sheet and ply together to the same thickness as the glass, then use the glass as a template to cut the shape, then pop it back into the rubber surround. insulate and panel over as normal

suffice for what ? the LDV slider on my sliding door is single glazed, you can get one for about £20 in a scrapyard,which suits me fine. if you're worried about condensation then make up a silver bubblewrap cover to put inside at night

i like that- while others plan and over-think, this guy's off and away !

that's them. i fitted one to a transit, it was easy to adjust the length to suit. what surprised me was how cheap very strong metal framed camp beds are in camp shops , and easy to adapt to wall or ceiling hung-lots of possibilities

never put a caravan on a truck. seen plenty, just found it easier to make my own stuff.i like to see that sort of thing though, a good shortcut to a camper
