righog….I was thinking of getting a new one so tabs should be good..

Thanks guys, back on site on Monday for updates. In the meanwhile I’ll put my thinking head on…

Hi Markie,

the finial piece seems to be a bit squished..i mean the angles on the far L & R don’t look like 120 deg.

Think of a regular hexagon, internal angles are 120 deg. then add two pieces opposite each other both 900mm long. 4 of the angles stay at 120 deg.

Great work btw. how long does it take?

Going back to the ridge beam idea what pitch would the roof have to be to run the ridge parallel to the 900mm sides?

Markie..if I build a single finial into the roof it will be easier then. Think of an octagonal ( regular ) piece of timber with sides a minimum of 46mm ( which is the width of the rafters ). Thickness of the timber will be the dimension of the rafter at said pitch..ie. if the roof ( rafters 97 x 46 mm ) has a 30 degree pitch 97mm cut at 30 deg. equals 115mm so the octagonal center piece will be 115mm thick.

Hi Markie, waveydave…

Yep the ridge is/was to run parallel to the 900mm sides..but I’m also toying with the idea that 1 finial might be enough..( Markie a finial would be the decorative spike/ sphere etc that decorates the apex of a roof in this situation..it would be attached to a piece of timber; here it would be an octagon that all the rafters would fix into. It can also protrude down into the summerhouse so that more fanciness can be added.

I have added, at every angle/ junction a length of 6 x 2 ( 46mm wide ) which protrudes outwards enough for the cut edge or end-grain of the cladding to be protected..Don’t know how this affects any calculations.

Thanks for your efforts guys

Piccies

@ Waveydave…the walls will be going up tomorrow half are in place so I’l be able to get some pics up hopefully..

thanks Markie, the roof-bar or ridge is to run R to L to the two 1350mm edges I don’t know if that changes things..So are all the rafterss to be 1604mm @ 30deg?

Sorry Markie, Pitch is the angle of the roof or slope if you were building a stair,,

The idea was to have two high points but it would depend on the length of the ridge..
I’ll be using shingles so I reckon a minimum of a 30 degree pitch. I was planning to have to finnials atop the structure but if the ridge is going to be stupidly short 2 finnials too close together won’t look right..thoughts?

Markie, reckon on a minimum pitch of 30 degrees, if you can work out an equal pitch the ridge length will be given automatically or not?

That’s also a solution Markie. I was thinking of two ‘ high-points ‘ with a ridge-beam connecting them..

Markie does your program spit out the angles and pitch?

it started out as a regular hexagon with all 6 internal angles being 120 degrees and all sides being 1250mm long. This was however too small so I stretched the hexagon by adding two ( opposite ) lengths sides @ 900mm and changing two of the 1250mm sides to 1350mm.

Imagine a square…diagonally cut off the four corners and replace the cuts with a line you now have * sides. The diagonals you just made are 1250mm each, two ( original ) opposite sides are 900mm and the last two original sides are 1350mm…

Call that a knive?…

I have to admit I’ve been looking on eBay for one of those..Protool make one also as do other companies I’m sure. I won’t pay the new price for the protool one and i can imagine the Festool one isn’t cheap..I often cut sleepers and recently had 9″ x 9″ posts which I had to cut with a 9″ circular saw from 2 sides which doesn’t always leave a nice clean cut…I need one of These..viewer discretion advised..not for the faint hearted.. ( no gore )

Takisawa look away now!

Nice….but I hate to see so many teeth on the large ring un-protected..nasty gash material!!

and Bob’s your uncle..

I did like it but…..

400 tons of concrete… Totally Irresponsible!

Could of done it in planks and sprayed it grey!

The mudhugger looks as it’ll clog when the going gets sticky…

How many ballbags do you have?

You wont notice how heavy a fork is when pointing down…I should know I have the worlds heaviest forks..

I have Marzocchi 55 Bombers on my BFe,They have been converted to coil, have a 20mm through axle and I keep them at 160mm. I love them ( point and shoot control ) but Hate, really hate… the 2.7Kgs ( over 6lbs ) that they weigh. I’d love to change them for, say a Revelation or similar that weighs 1.7 kgs ( saving over 2 lb. at the front ) but I’d also hate to end up with a flexy, wallowy front end..

..I can’t afford BOS either..

It’s all about comprimises..price v weight v performance.

What footflaps says..find the source of the problem. It can’t be condensation with the weather we’ve been having…even condensation on UN-lagged cold water pipes shouldn’t ( read wouldn’t ) cause that much damp.

Did anyone camp nearby? if so where etc.

+1 for the bFe.loving mine at 160mm

I think that Nissan only made 1 variation of the 2.7 td engine. First came the 2.4 diesel, then the 2.7 td then the navara D22 with the 2.5td

The numbers on the ebay item are the ones above. The mechanic where i have my pickup hasnt taken the gearbox out yet to check the numbers. He doesn’t want to remove it until he has a replacement.

Bumping up….

Hi benji..unfortunately box & vehicle are approx 120 miles apart atm. I’m trying to source the box from eBay.
The numbers on the transfer box of the terrano are
33107-G2340……………1804

Terrano Gearbox numbers are

32131-G2342…………..1933

Do these help

Just a bFe here at 160.

Bumping up for the evening crowd..

SOAP..mail me re Snowdon..

@ t.i.n.a.s where would you recommend starting/ parking Abergorlech or Brechfa?

My son is there atm. His 18th b.day weekend..

Filler, when dry sand n paint. Are you re-fitting skirting?

@ martinhutch..I’m not a trail-center devotee at all but I love fast, flowey decents and if they happen to be at a trail-center then so be it. It seems most trail-centers build up to a final decent.. I liked the video above and thought I’d like to ride it. I have geared a lot of good things about Nant…

Northwind which one do you have?

^^ do they work?

Are they 9 speed compatible?

…..proper dwarves on mini mountain-bikes… 😀

Oh, and about the goat..I was holding it for a friend.

@ chunky..no worries, thanks though.

@ no_eyed_dear..yes that’s the one I want!

Guten Abend Red star

What warton said.

Ask him for proof that his brakes work. Also ask him to provide evidence that he has 20/20 vision.

I spent the best part of 13 years in Germany and remember hearing a story about a car crash where the person whose fault it should of been asked for the person hit to provide proof of 20/20. It turns out they should of been wearing glasses whilst driving. Positive outcome for the ‘ at fault ‘ driver.

Where abouts are you in Germany?
