Hi, charadam-thanks for that link, one of those would maybe work, will go down the pub and see if anyone can get one.. Don't have taper attachment, one day will make one but for a one off seems a lot of work. Pitch I,m guessing at 2 or 3 per inch but this is the experimental bit.
 
   Gordon,
 
Strange story -  i was mowing the lawn a few days after the Post Office had renewed a telephone pole in my garden. Nearly ran over a 1/14" sample of the coach screw (it apparently is, or was used on the past,  to secure footsteps to large diameter poles) that they had discarded on my patch.
I didn't know such beasts existed until then - and if I can find the item in my scrap pile, your are very welcome to it!
 
ATB,
 
Charles

Could one of these in the 1 1/2" diameter form the basis?

Thread: Humidty

5 years back, I was faced with the necessity of replacing an ancient eyesore, 12 foot x 7 foot creosoted tongue & groove shed that had apparently seen service as a cowshed.
 
At the same time, I happened upon a load of free breeze blocks and so the construction method was decided.
 
I won't go into the digging of foundations, the concrete mixer allowed to harden off when full, the Building Inspector who was (eventually) persuaded that his presence was superfluous and all the other happy memories.
 
The shed - for so it must be called - or the H&S will descend - ended up at 19' x 8' externally, cement rendered and divided internally by an insulated block wall to provide garden storage in 6' at the end.
 
The ridged roof was insulated with 6" of fibreglass mat and the walls with 30mm Kingspan sheathed in 5mm ply. The floor was quarry tiled on 125mm of concrete with rebar at strategic locations beneath the Chipmaster lathe and Boxford mill.
 
A 150 Watt dehumidifier with its own humidistat was installed as well as a 200 Watt oil-filled radiator for trace heating. A fan heater is present but is very infrequently used.
 
A rough and ready record was kept of the humidistat setting and after around 2 years, things settled down to where the 2 litre container is emptied 3-weekly in reasonable conditions and weekly in British weather.
 
The control was simply observation of any tendency for rust to begin and happily it is well-controlled at (I believe) reasonable cost.
 
Incidentally, 18 x 13 amp sockets are not enough in a 12' x 7' 6"  "shed".
