Looking good Rob. What make is the saw?

I stupidly got rid of all my tools thinking we were going full timing, well we ain't now so I am having to buy all the tools again.
Tools have moved on in leaps and bounds so it ain't so bad but it's costing a packet. Bought a Festool multi last Saturday now I'm after a Milwaukee drill next.

Sorry Ral, only just seen your question!

It is an Evolution from Screwfix.

Evolution R210CMS 210mm Single-Bevel Compound Mitre Saw 240V | Mitre Saws | Screwfix.com

Only a budget saw but works well.

The stand is very good quality;

Evolution Mitre Saw Stand with Extension Arms | Stands | Screwfix.com

£100 for the saw and stand which I thought was pretty good!

Yeah it's a one blade does all job.

Great for cutting wooden framing as well though.

Done a bit more today.

Removed 3 of the windows, and put a strip of mastic behind the frames of each one. We then cut 5.5mm WBP plywood sheets to go into the recesses where the windows sit. We then cut out a hole for the window in the board and offered it up.

Satisfied with that, the ply was then screwed/glued to the wooden framework. We then cut exactly the same board/hole in 3mm Wallboard which was then glued to the ply with Stixall. (Insulation was added to each metal panel beforehand).

The windows and inner frames were then put back in, sandwiching the outer skin of the van and the ply/wallboard. Each window recess is now lined so we can now carry on with the rest of the van lining around these recesses.



What has annoyed me is that my rooflight/vent which should have arrived yesterday, still hasn't arrived today! :mad1:

Looking good Rob, you using for wheel meet and, with you now retired, why are you dragging your feet? :lol-053:

I used it at the weekend Terry!

Big step tomorrow getting all the wiring in place. I can get the line-out finished then. Trouble is, I've got to do it twice. Once in 5.5mm ply, then again in 3mm wallboard glued to the ply.
