Glad it has come of use thanks . All I can suggest is googling your local door and window specialist. Or take a photo of it and do a Google picture search an online product. Don’t know how to check out my video on finding materials.
I haven’t heard back from the tafe yet. And yes the set up was really easy. But if u get stuck the instructions they provide are well illustrated and the website has amazing videos from start to finish
i just found out about your channel and I really like your thorough approach to fixing things. Other people would probably have just left the damaged waterproofing and installed the soap holder on top. It is good to see that you take your time to do the right thing by waterproofing over it. Subscribed!
Another option is drill holes out to similar size of wooden or plastic dowell ,glue it in and cut back flush. Drill another pilot hole and screw hinge on. It will look like no repair was done. If the damage was a little bit too muck then those plates are good.
Did you spray some WD40 or similar in the hinge to loosen up any rust and stop restricting opened and closed. Even better,knock that pin out and clean up with grinder b4 welding back into position. Thanks for sharing
Tried to spray wd40 up into it but looking back probably should have just knocked the pin out and greased her up. Lesson learned with on the job experiences 🙃
@@Hibrahimandco sounds like a good price considering you didn't have to add anything and the pre setup would tick most of what is needed without the headache of doing it.
Not yet been super busy with work to have the opportunity to play. I had to buy a neck for the wire feed separately, it finally arrived but haven’t had the pleasure in of practicing just yet. Will pop a video up when I do of my experience 😅
@@Hibrahimandco sounds good mate. I'm having massive dramas with the machine trying to weld aluminium. I went into total tools yesterday and they said a rep will be in contact with me. ill let you know how I go.
You have so many great tips thank you. Do you know how to remove glass door from aluminium frame? Ours won’t come out just by lifting to top & pulling bottom out🤯 we need to check why it’s so hard to slide.
Thank you for the kind words and tuning in. I find if I’m having real trouble trying to getting it out, you obviously turn the roller screws all the way anticlockwise on both sides and bring the sliding door to the middle of the frame it’s sitting in as sometimes there can be a bit more play and the bottom rail will bow down with pressure may require a crowbar to pop the sliding door frame out from its channel from the bottom if that makes sense.
thanks for the video. If it struggles with little branches like that it will not handle anything bigger. Wish you showed us a 100mm branch. (I don't think ill be getting one)
Hi Alex, yeah no issues. I just used my adapter plugged it in and she started charging straight away as shown in the video and it is by far the most utilised tool used in the job orders that I get.
Thanks for the reply and good pick up. As mentioned in previous comment I worded it wrong during the video as I have been practicing welding with my new gas welder lately. Correct set up is MIG/MAG WELDING: CONNECT THE TORCH LEAD TO THE POSITIVE TERMINAL (+) AND THE CLAMP LEAD (C) TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL (-GASLESS WELDING: (WITH FLUX CORED WIRE): CONNECT THE TORCH LEAD TO THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL (-) AND THE CLAMP LEAD (E) TO THE POSITIVE TERMINAL (+)
I Was at the property again today, other trades were using it and was functioning as it should, if any issues the property agents know I’ll come back to mend.
That weld is good enough. It only orignally was holding 15 to 20 mil so you put a nice thick weld on there. In situations like these dressing it up is not the goal, its practicality which you achieved. Good work ! She'll be right !
I had multiple jobs at the one property this being one of them. I just took the opportunity to get the welder out to be honest. If you were to head out to do this job what what u think would be a reasonable charge? Remember travel time equipment consumables all add up. Quoting and invoicing are my hardest dilemmas 😅
@@viktorreznov1548 bro a price is opinionated, you can't get rich of 280 bucks bro. But we all have bills to pay and nothing in life is free. You not paying just for someone's time, you paying for his knowledge that he can do that the customer cannot.
I feel $150 is a little light personally. Equipment alone welder, wire, tip, grinder ppe is quite the expense. If I was to price this up as a stand alone job I would think $200-250 is reasonable for equipment hire consumables time travel and labour. Remember we still have to pay tax on these so we don’t actually take home the total invoice cost, we have expenses to pay ( tax, insurance, travel, running cost, maintenance ), all these expenses I never knew about until being a new business owner 🥵 but thanks for the feed back good know what people would quote cheers
Funny u mention that. When I was leaving the job it sprung to mind could of try and use my heavy duty suction cup handles I use for carrying heavy tiles 🧐 a massive part of daily jobs is problem solving and usually on the cheap side 😅
Here a full run down on how to work all the settings if you need it!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3JwrqnRXnyw.htmlsi=FFH8k9SUdTwpX3ko
3M hooks with double sided tape, you’ll have the hook to pull from and tape will come out without destroying paint work. 3 second glue to glue the panel and bobs your uncle. If you don’t know 3 second glue, it will open up loads of opportunities as a handyman!!
I did forgot to show the original grate. However I did have the original grate changed for this reason and totally forgot to show it on this video but i totally understand the frustration
Wow looks awesome mate, I have a damaged brake/indicator housing on the back of the caravan, $1000 bucks a set (L/R pair) to replace, I’ll give this kit a go for shore 👍🏻
Wowza, yep you will definitely save hundreds with this product. It’s a little messy. Just make sure you wear PPE gear and cover surrounding areas that you don’t want to mess up all the best mate
great work man. i want to work in handi mam, i also had aexperiences in construction diiferent fiels. but i dont have any certifications. so what things to do for becoame a handy man
Good on you buddy obviously having qualifications and certificates look favourable on paper. However, you do not require a license if the work completed is under a certain amount for example. New South Wales if I was to invoice someone less than $5000, I don’t require a license. if I was to work in Victoria and The greater than $10,000, I will need a license. Each state is slightly different. Below is a reference point for your starting point to get started.
