Seeing an new video from you just brightened up my whole day 😁🌞😁 It's good to see how far you've come with this project, it's looking great. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@23:00 doing 45 degrees and then cutting flat to cut off the end up against the wall to effectively cut of the piece that would have been touch the strip you cut off the long length would have worked, man this is hard to explain in text. I had to do the same thing in my place.

@DavidWatts 3 месяца назад

A few similar suggestions, Brian ended up sending me a diagram and it all clicked. Sadly I have already bodged it, but it looks good to my eyes.

You've been busy. Good to hear from you again.

Hey David ! Good to see another video from you.

@jerril42 3 месяца назад

Thanks David. I was thinking about you the other day and wondering how it was going. I all looks fantastic. You will have to show us how the architrave turns out on the next update. Take care.

@DavidWatts 3 месяца назад

Will do, the next update will probably be the last of them. I won't be able to do the kitchen for a while. Once that bedroom is carpeted I can set up my nerd room. I have some electronics projects I am looking forward to attempting.

@jerril42 3 месяца назад

@@DavidWatts Great stuff, I'm sure it will be nice to feel more settled. Defintely looking forward to the nerdy stuff.

DIY always goes wrong for me when I have any kind of deadline. The catch 22 of it is that without any kind of deadline, the work will never happen. I'd spend my whole life thinking out the perfect plan and never introduce the plan to reality.

@zoidbergVII 3 месяца назад

You just needed to make the 45 on both pieces then cut the top piece again to take off the tip. As you cut down the architrave then you need to "reduce the length" or trim the tip off of it to make the pattern align. I imagine it is done now, but the changes you need to make can still be done if you have a bit more length on that extra piece you planned to add.

@DavidWatts 3 месяца назад

I really should have reached out for advice before I went all in 🤣it is nailed and glued to the wall now. I'll know for next time, now you have explained it, I don't know how I didn't realise it.

@ChunkySteveo 3 месяца назад

He's back!! Huzzah! Good to see you still at it! When do you need to bring in reinforcements again?!

@DavidWatts 3 месяца назад

Ha ha, maybe when I need to figure out how to install a kitchen. Or when people fancy a weekend of BBQs and some gardening. Hope you are well.

The PET should be quite easy to fix, it got an old school linear power supply with a nice big transformer. I'd reseat any chips in their sockets, making sure you take ESD precautions. these old chips will die very easy to any sort of static discharge and are getting harder to get.

@DavidWatts 3 месяца назад

I'll start with checking voltages and caps. The inside might need a clean. Can't recall if it has external video but I can certainly reseat the chips. I have some contact cleaner too and a fibre glass pen if it needs it. Unfortunately it wasn't well protected during the dustiest parts of the renovation.

@TheEmbeddedHobbyist 3 месяца назад

@@DavidWatts just take esd precautions, give it a good clean and reseating of chips in sockets. There are plenty of circuits on the web. I don't think it has external video. I'll have to check to see what goes out to the outside. Good luck and it would be nice to see a repair series.

If it goes wrong, it's called a "caulk up" in the UK

@jonathanInLondonUK 3 месяца назад

Cut all angles at 45 degrees, and then shorten the left hand side of the top piece by the same amount as you trimmed off the LH architrave. Of course the top piece will need to be longer to allow for it to be trimmed. At least that's the way I've seen it done.

@DavidWatts 3 месяца назад

🤣 it went up as is today, it doesn't look bad. Let's called it my signature on the house.

@garthhowe297 3 месяца назад

That's going to be embarrassing when guests get down on hands and knees, and look at that fireplace tile with a magnifying glass. Ooooh, these tiles are off by at least 0.25mm. Otherwise, really looking great now.

@twotone3070 3 месяца назад

Yes, cut the right hand architrave to the same width as the left and the top of course. Anyone looking at it would realise the reason why it had to be done.

@DavidWatts 3 месяца назад

Caulk caulk caulk :) I've bodged it.
