Well our club centenary celebration went ahead, There was some doubt if it would go ahead but the Lord Lieutenant of Essex who was going to attend encouraged us to go ahead in her abscence. Band pulled out night before due to some being ill with covid but some frantic phone calls got another local band to stand in.
It was an amazing day, from midday onwards the club was rammed with hundreds of members old & new plus guests. In the region of 750 people, We had a sail past of yachts dressed overall, ensigns with black ribbons & a minutes silence, races & a fantastic day was had by all with live music & a legendary amount of beer flowed across the bars. The stand in band smashed it & went down a storm. Well done to the organisers!

Cuthy would you be so kind and drop me a PM with pictures of both sides of the threshold?
The people that fitted my £600 tripple glazed door say that a very low or simple rubber bladder strip threshold isn't available. I have to have their 10 mm raised aluminium one which has made the mean height 22 mm. The joystick electric wheelchair I use has difficulty coping with it even with a 5 mm sheet of ply with a rubberized mat stuck to it , inplace on the inside of the hallway as I have to use creep mode on the chair to get along & out the narrow hallway

Sorry to disappoint DAPPH, had a look this morning and mine is a 10mm threshold too

Actually, that is very help full, they sat the threshold on top of the lower part of the UPVC frame which they sat on impregnated MDF so that the top of the door frame was up against the lintel. Just lifted ( Please excuse the muck ,dog & cat hairs etc our house maid hasn't got round to cleaning it this morning) the outside rubber & coir foot wipe mat, the difference from the edge of the block work of the paths and door access to the top of the aluminium from the outside is about 35 mm from the top of the inside rubber mat it's about 15 mm the door lowest edge is not touchingthe inner mat by 15 mmm or so .

They have mismeasured & miscalculated, it looks like they have used the old badly fitted, mismeasured double-glazed door & frame door instead of planning it and drawing it out for
the new tripple glazed one.

Looks like I'll be asking a friend a big favour to let me fold a pair of simple 5 mm or so aluminium wedge-shaped ramps some 150 mm wide & the breath of the frame to fit both different inside & outside measurements as the door was fitted a around 4 years ago.

How did you affix the legs? They look welded but is the grate not cast iron?

 

[DAPPH]

Looks like brazed in from the underside onto a flat surface, you can see where the grids are filled where the legs go .

 

[Mark 2]

They are welded and it is cast iron. There's enough mass of weld and some nickel.

I'm sure you'd have a very receptive lucrative market in some of those old Master debaters where the grid came from .

I do hope nobody of importance falls down the resulting void.

The amount of stuff we carry in the boxes the 1500kg is more of a guideline than actual weight.

Today I mostly made a bucket of holes. Polo got the idea from me

Customer supplied 24 plates with the 4 mounting holes in. My job was to put the ovals in them. Basic jig knocked up on table which is the purpose of this post really.

Just putting the idea out there.
