Dust extraction question. I've started working inside my garage as opposed to in the back garden to save me the hassle of setting up and packing away every day. Problem is dust is going everywhere. Main culprit's are my table and mitre saws. I connect up my cheapo Titan wet/dry vac which does a good job of catching a lot of the dust, but I want to try and improve things further. Is a more expensive extractor going to help? For example a Festol CTL is £350, what does that get you that a cheaper vacuum doesn't?

I'm wearing a dust mask so my lungs should be okay, but I'd like to do something about the fine layer of mdf dust that is accumulating on absolutely everything.

I would like it to be:

Carbon
Eyelets for mudguard
Clearence for 28c + mudguard
1 1/8th steerer
Black

If anyone has anything give me a shout.

Was just looking at that one. PM incoming

Can someone tell me what kind of pedal hook I need to buy that will be compatible with Look Keo Carbon pedals? These:

Thanks @Airhead and @user69121 - You've given me plenty to think about.

We have this window in our house which I think is original to its build. I quite like the stained glass and want to keep as is, however the whole thing is single pane and the beading for the bottom pane is rotten on the outside beyond repair. So I'll need to replace that but am contemplating whether it would be worth swapping the glass for a double glazed unit. Can anyone suggest if it would be at all meaningful in terms of heat retention? Or is it forever doomed because of the stained glass upper section?

Also how DIY able is it? Would the top half fall off if I remove the lower section? I suspect I'd need to make a new frame for the inside too to account for the extra thickness of the double glazed pane.

Such a lovely looking cat.

We've been on our honeymoon and haven't seen our cats for 10 days now - but we're flying back tonight. Can't wait be begged to and then ignored.

So cute. Do you have any pictures of when she was a kitten?

Washing machines like to shimmy around when in operation. If its super tight it might start banging into the sides of the cupboard. Vibration foam may make it worse but it effectively will mean it it always touching and vibrate your whole house up. How much clearance have you got?

I made some drawers inside some wardrobes not so long ago and forgot to account for the door hinges. But I'm not a professional and am supposed to make these kind of stupid mistakes.

I'd just double check with him that you're worried it won't fit and can he double check before it goes any further.

Hard to tell from your photos. What are the two dimensions exactly?

Darn, you might be right. I'll start investigating oak veneer mdf or plywood a bi for more seriously. What are my options aside from iron on veneer? Need something that will survive the test of x2 cat.

I have a plunge saw so should be easy enough to cut out the squares cleanly. Just was wondering if there isn't some obvious reason why the youtube lot are all doing it with glue joints. Think I'll just do it one piece and save a lot of faff.

@stevo_com No worries. Was planning on exactly that. It's called screening I believe.

Radiator covers. I want to make one as my radiator is larger than all the ready made ones. I'm planning on using 18mm mdf for the main body, and then either a solid oak or oak veneered mdf for the top.

For the main body, is there any reason I shouldn't make it out of one piece of mdf, cutting out the squares, rather than piece by piece and joining them together? All the ones I've seen are joined with biscuits and glue but just seems like a lot of extra effort?

Yeah what @anthonyj said. I didn't want to find their insides later :/

Close, it's poo poo head.

Haha yes. They like to smear it on the sides

Oh don't mention diarrhoea to me. Came home last night to discover a strange dried up matting on the kittens head. I didn't realise what it was until I got close to sniff it. Poo on her head. Turns out they had managed to get a sugary biscuit for humans out of its wrapper from our kitchen counter and consume it. Obviously this meant a nice big pile of diarrohea for us, not in the litter tray, but next to it. Nothing like capping off a long day than bathing a poo head cat that doesn't want to be bathed.

Took my cat's in to get a vaccination this morning. Some of you may recall I had a rather traumatic time getting them into the carrier's last time around. This time I just put their breakfast in the carriers, they ran in and I closed the the doors on them. Suckers.

What kind of floor is it? For our floorboards, we had success scrubbing them with vinegar and warm water.

I don't have anything helpful to say, but I am interested to know what you eventually find as the solution. I have a very similar situation around the door frame of our side entrance.

I am afraid to tackle it as I worry it will end up being a can of worms when I start to chip away - that the small patch that is visibly damaged now becomes a huge area that falls off.
