discobob Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 19 hours ago, Old farrier said: I’m sure someone will talk you through the process first you need a first aid kit 😊 big hammer lots of sharp woodworking stuff a pencil a big rubber measuring stick and some nails that should cover equipment probably a method statement and a risk assessment 😗 oh and before and after picture 👌👍 all the best of I have purchased a Track saw (titan - 2nd hand), a Makita Track, a decent blade with a thin kerf(?), a Trend router, and an RYOBI Hinge Jig (from the US as UK prices were stupid). I am trying to source some thinish MDF around 8mm to make some templates as well so I can route out the door frame as well as I am not very good with chisels - mainly due to them not being sharp enough I think. I will be practicing on some sacrificial wood and a door that I am replacing first. The part that is really causing me issues is the drilling in of the latch. I can see me going off and breaking out the face of the door!! I also have a nice Bosch Sliding Miter Saw and stand. What I would like to do is to get to a level where I can replace components of our staircase which isn't straight forward as it is a closed string with a stupid bottom half landing step. The Newel posts need replacing as they are a bit loose. The handrail needs replacing as this was broke when some spindles got broken. The spindles for some reason I can only find on Irish sites and the postage for them are astronomical and would be as cheap to replace all of them with nice straight ones or ones with minimal chamfering (?) Sadly though, I know what I need to do, just don't have the skills to do it at this time!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing is that I can't do anything in the garage as stuff is also stored in there on shelves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
