very well done!
Thank you! Cheers! I really hope you find other videos on my channel you find as useful. Cheers Sion
You must be retired, who has time for that???😂
I am trying to retire but that was filmed on a day off and the whole process was a morning. Well worth the effort i would say
Great tip for sanding the knob!
Really glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks Sion
Hi Sion would you caulk along the seems at all?
Certainly if needed. I don’t remember doing it on this one. I think it was just filler all the way up and paint.
@@sionhughes5543 thanks, I think I’ll will as I’m fitting a white board with white walls and white window frame
Thanks Simon cowell
Simon Cowell ………. Really!
This stuff has completely destroyed the lawn. The entire patch where used is now black. There was a lot of moss, so I know a lot of the black is the dead moss. But one week later, moss raked out and grass still black. I used this to just improve the grass before I left the tenancy. Now I’m likely to be billed for an entire new lawn 🙁
I too have had big black strips down the lawn but I did put on extra which was a very bad idea . Re seed the bald ares and it will end up looking sweet .
Fantastic work as always Sion! I absolutely love all your restoration videos.
Oh how i wish everybody enjoyed my videos like yourself. Thanks for the encouragement and the kind words . Really appreciated. Cheers Sion
Wow! looks like new now, beautiful 🤩
Yes, thank you
Stihl- just stick to chainsaws
Hmmm
Just made myself dumber by effing with it
They are difficult until you know how they work
This is the biggest pile of shit head that there ever was from any company. Probably made in China now
What to do if you dont own a pressure washer?
I suppose a wire brush and a hose pipe would work, but just take longer
Other videos that I’ve watched use a slab of Granite (like a large Granite Tile) or a large sheet of glass, then they put the sandpaper on that so they get an even sanding of the plate.
That system will certainly work. However, I used a diamond plate because it was a small plain got a wonderful result and haven’t seen anybody else do it.
How about treating the outside first to stop penetrating damp, you did not state if external issues were evident and if issues were rectified. You’re tanking system/instructions are not the best, possibly rubbish, you do not tank on top of a crack or fill to the surface internal render/plaster crack, bollocks. External render/pointing repair required 1st including seals to door/window frames to elimanate water penetration/ingress, an external water seal would also be advised if possible. The internal plaster would be advised to be rmoved if issues persist and a tanking slurry salt retarding render/skim coat applied to the affected areas.
Thanks for the comment. Lots to think about
Thanks for that concise and helpful film, regards John from sunny Devon UK
Thanks for the nice comment John in sunny Devon. I look forward to living there one day soon.
@@sionhughes5543 my comment was meant for your film on how to adjust the DeWalt saw but thanks for this one too, roll on your relocation to Devon, regards John 🙂
Well if you’re not prepared to tell us if you think it is or isn’t worth the money why put it in the title. I clicked on here to hear your opinion. You’re the person with the expertise and we’re looking for your opinion so, is it or isn’t it worth the money?
Yes . It’s worth extra money . Way faster . Sorry for not making that point clearly. Sorry . Cheers sion
Thanks Sion. I am considering purchasing one myself.
BLISS! That's what life's all about right there
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the lovely comment. Cheers Sion
Absolutely brilliant. You've inspired me to have a crack at one myself. However, if you think getting good quality supplies is difficult in the UK, spare a thought for those of us in the Antipodes. It's nigh on impossible unless you get it shipped from overseas.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and pleased to hear you feel inspired to go in restore one of your own hand planes. Are you in Australia or New Zealand?
Nice video Sion. I’m not in the market for a new mower just yet, but I have been quite curious about the capabilities of an electric one. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the lovely comment. That video was filmed in Poland where my partner was getting this Lawnmower for her mother who doesn’t have the strength to start a petrol lawn. I was quite shocked by its capabilities and can easily see myself getting one in the next 10 years.
@@sionhughes5543I wondered where you filmed, it was the backyard I was used to seeing you work on. Cheers!
Nooice!
Cheers, bless you
Well i didnt need to take all those things off and mine does not turn counter clockwise only clockwise to spool string on.
If you’ve got the same model and it must be the same system. But most trimmers have got a similar weight of loading cord.
Hi, I recently hand applied and got dark patches, how long before it turns green?
I presume you’re talking about lawn seed. It depends at the time of the year but generally speaking you should see something after a week.
Refreshing to not see any trims or caulking/silicone 😊
I’m very grateful that you noticed these details thank you. Please consider supporting if you haven’t already.
Can you create a bullnose effect without owning a router such as using an orbital sander using 40 grit paper??
The simple answer is yes you could use a hand plane and just keep shaping the profile until it was round or 40 grit sandpaper as you suggested although as I’m sure you will imagine the uniformity of the bullnose will be directly proportional to the consistency of your sanding
Awesome job !!!! New to your channel and just subscribed as well !!! Looking forward to your work and videos !!!
Thank you for the lovely comment and I really appreciate your subscription
Thanks! Very informative 😎👍🏻
Glad it was helpful! . Cheers Sion
Thanks for sharing Sion! I desperately need to do this to mine.
You’re more than welcome. It makes such a difference
I found it a pain to pull hose through the front then pulling it back to roll it back up any suggestions
I don’t use that function at all as you found out it’s too fiddly .
@@sionhughes5543 not just me then
Brilliant video. So clear and extremely helpful. Thanks Sion.
Glad you enjoyed it
Simple and effective, excellent video 😁
Glad you liked it!
If there is no offset on the blade tip, then this will work. I personally have never seen a blade of that nature. For those that have carbide (or othe), raise the blade all the way up and use a dial gage and purchase a freud 10" calbration and sand disk combination. (Item number CD010)
I have a dial gauge now, but I actually wanted to show a video not using specialist equipment so that the average person could set their tablesaw up.
You left it natural? So, you'll have to do it again next season.
I did this at the request of the person who owned it
I just got the K5 but think slightly swindled by the description "K5 Power Control" as they now do one with a cheaper lance which just shows the pressure and does not control the output pressure, you need to use a tool with variable flow rate to adjust the pressure. It even looks like it has four buttons. To get the one now with the LCD control on the lance you need the "Premium" version which now includes the hose on a reel.
I did not know that . Still its way quicker than the K4
Just bought the K5 classic from homebase £179 Same spec as the more expensive k5. Really pleased with it
Nicely described. I find that this is necessary every year or two. After cleaning it is also a good idea to 'feed the wood' with teak oil. This enhances the look. If you do it every year, and don't mind the roughness too much, it is not necessary to sand it. Pressure washing alone is enough unless you want a 'like new' look. After all, it is GARDEN furniture, not living room furniture!
Wise words and good advice. I did this for a neighbour who is quite specific about not wanting to finish, only natural. It’s a wonderful transformation just after jet hosing the key is all sand. Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already I’ve got 70 other videos, that you might find useful. Cheers Sion.
Bad quality. Mine stopped working after few years. With little use. I have cared for it all the right ways. Very expensive.
I wonder if like me, you live in a hard water area because I’m pretty sure that helps to kill it early
I am using pressure washer for 10 years now, just serviced it once. Soft water all the way.
Great presentation, thx,
Really glad you enjoyed the video. Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already and check out the other 70 videos on my channel once again thanks for the comment cheers Sion.
Nice! Come do mine? 😊
Great video,really enjoyed it, great choice of background music.
Why thank you Gareth . Really appreciate the kind words . Cheers Sion
do you need to add sand.
Not really . The last stone fitted needed a little soil to back fill and it has remained flush .
Just bought one of these and your video was very helpful. Thank you. Subscribed
Thanks for the lovely comment and the subscription. It really means a lot to me. Please consider looking at my channel and all the other videos on there as you might find something useful. Once again much appreciation. Cheers Sion
Why not applying a sealing coat to keep it safe more time?
Because the customer requested that the teak remained natural
Nice video and beautiful end result. I noticed the front knob was spinning on the spindle at the start? How did you fit it so that it didnt spin anymore? Im considering filing down a couple of threads off the spindle. Cheers.
Thank you so much for the lovely comment. I think at the very beginning of the video the knob was simply loose. I just tightened it up. It remains a cherish possession and perform masterly. Please consider subscribing if you already haven’t please investigate my channel as there are about 70 other videos that you might find useful. Sion.
Would it be worth putting a weed proof membrane underneath the slabs before laying?
No need to. The stone does that job perfectly
@@sionhughes5543 Thank you!
Oil it up a couple of coats
The person who i renovated it for didn’t want any finish
@@sionhughes5543 pointless exercise then
Don't pressure wash. It's to aggressive
I understand your point of view but most people want quick easy results and that particular wood is so hard it will forgive this process at least twice
Just bought a 225 yr old house in wales the whole place had been painted on outside with masonry paint so had the whole place sandblasted back to the stone. Even though there are many areas pointed with cement after opening all the windows say an inch & putting the heating on the difference after 4 wks is amazing. Plenty of lime mortar & pointing required but these buildings need to breath & need to be cared for
Sounds like you have a lovely old place
Holy Moses what are you doing ? Lime lime lime is the answer it’s an old house so don’t use new products. Check out Peter ward or any lime specialists The walls inside & out need to breath
As I said in the video I am just repairing the tanking. I don’t disagree with what you’ve said. Sadly my whole house has been painted and the downstairs of the front has all been tanked. My main problem is the fact I have no overhang and that when it rains water literally pours down that wall, upstairs I have exposed brick and that’s just as damp
Do you need to apply flux still if youre using yorkshire fittings?
Absolutely. Yorkshire joints are pre tinned but NOT pre fluxed
@@sionhughes5543 never knew that, thanks. Which flux would be good - normal or tinning flux and what are the benefits?
@@raj080288 I just used flux for plumbers. I’m not aware of any particular special type
Very instructional video. Thank you!

I'm afraid I couldn't use it. I've been using table saws since 1974 and still have all my fingers. I try to use the fence every chance I get and unless I'm not making a through cut like a dado i always have the riving knife installed. I had a kickback once that was so strong it went into the wall and knocked a piece of the outside siding off. And after I got married my wife would kill me if she knew I didn't use something on it. However, I might just adapt it for the miter saw.
Oh well that’s for your input . Cheers Sion
