Many years ago when installing plaster board you would soak what i think was called sisalation (white hair like material) in plaster and put it on the board and over a rafter to help secure the...

Thank you for proving the link.
I did do a search - one on this forum but got posts to do with gardening etc. and also on the internet and found some U.S. suppliers. Thanks Spin.

Hi, I have "Grass" make catches/hinges on my 90's kitchen cupboards. One has broken and I am trying to find suppliers of "Grass" hinges or equivalents. Ideally the replacement will not need...

The Rayburn is connected to the shower and the kitchen hot tap hence the need for potable treatment. Sometimes we fill the kettle with hot water at the sink. A heater exchanger would work of course...

I have a beautiful old Rayburn no 3 Wood stove but the boiler has sprung a leak. The boiler unit is cast iron and can no longer be purchased. I have had a plate steel one made but I am worried rust...

Thanks steamboatbob, I am not far from Midland so will give him a call.:2tsup:

Hi, Yeah I have countersunk the heads.
I have put some boards on the walls now with some cardboard at the back as a packer and seems ok.
I have a feeling that the sample piece I was using as a...

Hi, I am installing skirting boards to brick walls in my home. I bought some Durian Colonial pattern boards from Bunnings. I have stained / varnished them and they have come up looking excellent,...

Hi TP1, At the price of $152 its not worth taking it to a repairer really. And it also means I can have a go at lubricating it myself without fear of not being able to get another movement. If you...

There is also a number which looks like a model: 141 041 Spin.

TP1, just had a look at the back of the clock upside down with a mirror and it looks like Franz Hermle. Looks complicated to me. Behind where you wind the time and the chimer there are two barrel...

Thanks TP1 those sites are great with a lot of good info. I appreciate your help. thanks Spin.:2tsup:

OK thanks I will try that. Use machine oil? The clock is a wind up pendulum clock.Spin

Yes it is a mechanical pendulum style wall clock. Just stopped working. I just thought there may be someone on the forum from Perth who does repairs. I will check the back to see what make and model...

Thanks Pellcorp, you have given me some confidence in them. Ideally I would like a portable gas operated gun but they are expensive, but as someone else said, could buy one, do the job and get most...

Thanks for clarifying that. I have seen the Trade Mate / Spear and Jackson finishing guns going quite cheap so hopefully they are reliable. Thanks Spin :)

Hi, Can a framing nail gun be used OK for pine lining boards or will it drive the nails too far? thanks Spin

Hi, Can anyone recommend a reliable person who can repair clock movements in Perth? Thanks Spin

OK thanks Ian I will look into those. Appreciate your help. Spin

Thanks Ian, I know nothing about these :C so when you say airless do you mean electric? Are there any particular models or makes you could recommend?

Thanks Fritz, I reckoned a nail gun would be quicker. I see Bunnings do have an air nail gun but not knowing anything about it makes me a bit nervous about buying one, thats why I was hoping for some...

Hi, I have a lot of ceiling lining to do and need to get a nail gun and compressor. The boards will be pine 133x12. What gun, compressor and nail size is recommended? I am not a tradie or...
