Haha, I might just do that, too. :)

All good now. After googling every web site and forum in the known world I discovered that nobody has ever had this problem before, thus there are no diagrams or tutes on how to fix it. I finally...

Yep, they're like the tabs on beer cans. Meant to be torn off.

Dunno, Wozza, it was on the house when I bought it. Why?

Good idea, I'll do that.

That's very true about the Locksmiths, or any tradie for that matter. Most locksmiths that I've noticed are one-man businesses. The one at Carindale is, at least.
...

Yep, and it's a steel door, not a standard aluminium one. I don't know what they're worth to buy, but I'd say it'd be big bucks to replace.

I'd have to drill out the rivets to take the whole...

Yeah, I might have to drill the rivets out. Hope I can find where I stored my rivet gun now so I can put it back!

All Tradies are supposed to know what to do, but we amateurs have to google it,...

Yes, that's very likely my problem too. Unfortunately, I don't know how to go about fixing it. I can't find any diagrams online that show exactly how to put that block and spring back where it...

Didn't take a photo of the door handle mechanism, because you just see a hollow where the cylinder goes. But these two pix show the removed cylinder and the unidentified small metal piece with its...

I'll do that.

Hi,

Well suddenly the cylinder lock on my screen/security door won't lock. The key just turns way to the left, then way to the right, but nothing goes click and the lock doesn't engage.

I...

I've decided to make a "Rounding" rig by cutting a 12 inch piece of PVC 50mm pipe lengthways and lining the inside with sandpaper, and gluing on a bit of wood as a handle. I'll let you all know how I...

Fascinating to watch, Lance. Especially the part where he makes the groove with a screw head. Ingenious.

Thanks for those photos, Jack. I can now see how it's supposed to turn out. :)

Wow, thanks for all those very helpful posts, Gents! They've given me plenty to think about and to check out. Very much appreciated.:2tsup:

Next time I log on I hope to have some pix to show. If I...

Last time I tried to plane a piece of pine the result was like a plane crash, RW. Just don't have the knack.

I was hoping there was some chippies trick that I could try. I don't need it to be...

Good idea, Jack, but I don't want to buy a new tool just because I've got one job for it to do......... or do I? :roll:

Just had a thought. My cuz probably has one that he might lend me.

I'm currently getting the materials together to make a Breakfast Bar to be attached to a wall in the kitchen. I've got the pine board, and other bits for legs and foot-rail.

Being dressed pine,...

UPDATE: Well I went ahead and tackled it with my little chainsaw, and managed to fell it without any trouble. I cut at a higher part of the trunk, where it was about 18 inches thick. No probs....

Uh-oh, just what I didn't want to hear...

But thanks for the tips, gents. That's very helpful, and gives me something to think about.

Cheers.

OK guys, I just joined up and the first thing I want to do is ask a question. Hope this is the right sub-forum.

I have a paperbark tree in my front yard which has got pretty big, and is also...

I used to be on here but I lost my password and no longer have the email address I first used, so couldn't retrieve my Pw, and so I thought it best to join up again.

I've done a bit of woodwork in...
