Hi that’s nice to hear! This one is Compacmel with a dark grey melamine face. This is an old video that has been unlisted for some time, linked to from a QR code sent out with jigs. I decided to make it public to coincide with Makers Central where I am selling cut price jigs in various experimental materials.

I just got a new kitchen in my rental home. The installer used soft-close on all doors. However, since they designed it without handles they added pish-to-open. Perhaps im wrong, vut isn't that a waste of the soft closing ng mechanism. All the doors look clean without handles, but I think I prefer a small latch or grip so it makes actually use of the soft close. Now I need to push each door to close it. I feel like I'm a camper again hahaha

My chimney breast is mixture of dot and dab wall and stud wall. Do you think I will need corefix or concrete screw to secure it?

21:12 to be honest.... this looks like a its not an issue with friction on the track to me, the blade is dull and the saw has way too much play in the track. in combination of both you cant push the saw smoothly as shown

@Heinz76Harald 9 күн бұрын
as someone else mentioned, use the festool track on the makita saw, best combination. we have both in company for years and i prefer the makita over the festool you will get a very good saw with the festool, but its just not worth the upcost in my opinion as a dayli user for 15y

Hi, the truth is that for years my main audience online has been trade. Or at least a mix of trade and DIY, more than people who might actually want to buy Freebird Fitted Furniture. And the foundation of any successful business is marketing, which continues to be an uphill battle for mid to high end fitted furniture. So since I’ve already invested so much time building this platform, and I understand my audience’s needs pretty well, it just made sense to tilt this way - CNC shaker doors, training, CNC manufactured work aids. Definitely not giving up the main business, but I do see the trade side of things being more delegatable in future 👍

Thanks so much for sharing the video, I finally found the one I was looking for! We're excitedly waiting for our council house, and we've been told it will be fully adapted for our needs. I was wondering if you'd be willing to share your experience with adapting your home for your children's needs. Specifically, it would be really helpful to know: What types of adaptations did the council allow or provide? Were there any additional adaptations you found helpful to add yourself? Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Im new to the channel and an enthusiastic DIYer, and loving seeing your eye for detail in scribing and fitting. I do wonder, on the TV cabinet, its a shame the plug is above, did the client, or you, consider moving the plug into the unit to make the look even smarter? Appreciate that would be another set of skills and tasks but could help show off your smooth fits. Am getting lots of ideas for a similar angled unit to fit a larger TV in a similar fashion

Yes thin finishes only I think, and slow. So that Qtech is a more professional grade turbine system? I remember looking a little into turbines but then went to air assisted airless, and that is the technology I hear most talked about lately for spray booth work

You have just revolutionised my thinking! Am building a kitchen from scratch (first time, but have done wardrobes and closets) and definitely want the face-frame/inset shaker door look. This method of fitting painted-up doors with a step-out and post-fitting the "face-frame" is absolute gold!

@@Alastair_Freebird The build is a way off and I don't have social media. The house is 100 years old so insets seemed appropriate. I was dreading the prospect of hand trimming every door for perfect fit in the frame and then removing for painting but your method is a ray of light! Even the tiny butt joins in the face won't be out of place once painted. I don't want it to look computer-made. Thanks again!

Mo for mohamad ..is it true they need 3bhours a day to pray many times ?? How do you find that works with a mohamad employee
@Alastair_Freebird
@Alastair_Freebird Ай бұрын
Hi David yes observant Muslims do have the religious obligation to pray 5 times a day, but when you consider that it is done at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and late evening, then it doesn’t necessarily have to disrupt the work day much at all: if noon coincides with lunch break, and mid afternoon could even be just after the end of an 8 hour working day if the work day begins early. I think Mo probably wasn’t that strict about things, since I honestly can’t remember the subject even coming up with him and he certainly wasn’t getting a prayer mat out at lunch times or anything.

Coming to this so many years later is bittersweet. We did everything the government asked us, while they were partying it up. Four years later, Covid is no longer “a thing”, and it turned out most of the precautions we were forced to take ended up decimating small businesses whilst having zero impact on infections and death. Lovely work. No caulking is a great result

Thanks for watching! I think I waffled a bit at the start and can’t remember everything I said at that time. But it did shock me at the time that despite a large petition, the government continued to leave small company owners out in the cold. While awarding PPE contracts to their mates and dishing out loans with minimal accountability. It is one of many significant reasons why I am desperate to see the back of this government, despite being in many ways a likely conservative voter.
