I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for the support.

@@tee2899 absolutely, that will definitely work

@@JoshTheDIYguy thanks Josh

repair the holes or see if you can incorporate it into the placement of the mantle.

yeehaa

Thank you for the support, means a lot to small creators

This was during the lockdowns when you were not allowed to buy any of those things here in South Africa. Also some people don’t even have $20 to spare

Thanks so much for the support

anyone who takes pride in their work would be happy with a level result and if it was out by a little it wouldn't warrant a full fix but it is very rewarding when everything comes together

Think I’ve just realised the answer to my own question: so you don’t drill into the flue?

@@johnkendall4660 thats correct

Yes Ja, Lekker

230mm

@@JoshTheDIYguy is that 115 into wall and 115 mill into timber

@@shaunoconnor1979 pretty much, it also depends if you are going into a wall with a cavity or not, I would probably use threaded wall plugs if the wall is limited with depth

Thanks so much, it worked well for us

It’s plumb, you are welcome to fly to South Africa to come double check 😂

I am a novice at repairing books, I would use a different glue next time around.

That's correct, 12mm thread bar

Awesome, DIY is the way to go when it comes to some of these things as you get to make it the way you want and need it to be

12mm steel threaded bar

@@JoshTheDIYguy you think I could use rebar instead?

@@george5697 yes you could, and then secure it with a 2 part chemical anchor (Gorilla makes a good one)

Awesome, let me know if you tried your own

12mm High Tensile steel or you could use a rebar

We used a 3 part paint Velvaglo, you do not stir it otherwise it will cause it to seperate. holding up great, only thing is I would have done a special primer to make it even better for the long term, little touch ups here and there since we have done it. I would also use a spray gun as it will give a much better finish

thanks so much, I appreciate the support

You're welcome 😊

Hi Jose, the drill bit is a 12mm Auger bit and the threaded bar is a 12mm threaded bar cut to 240mm long each

Glad I could help!

You could try 2 stage chemical anchor, we're the holes snug with no play on the rods?

Epoxy is also a brilliant chemical anchor ⚓️ 👏

@@JoshTheDIYguy what were you using? I also use gorilla glue max (white glue, orange tube) for many projects that require a fast and very secure adhesive. That stuff is actually very impressive

@@dilldowschwagginz2674 I was using a sika product called Sikaflex®-118 Extreme Grab Construction Adhesive

they are nail in anchors

@@JoshTheDIYguy oh.ok. Im replacing mine right now and im doing screws . last time i missed and made a hammer mark :( . screws from here out and gonna class it up with plugs to hide the screw heads ! :) have a good day !

@@swettyspaghtti that is a great idea, if you counter sink them, you can plug the top with a little wooden plug and then it will look really neat

@@JoshTheDIYguy No. Those are drywall anchors. You're supposed to tap those directly into the drywall, then place the item you are hanging, THEN drive a screw into them to spread them open.

Hi @@squirts1 thanks for the comment, however we don't often use drywall in our home building in South Africa. This is a brick-and-mortar Nail In Anchor, you can get an idea of how they work and look like at this link. www.eureka.co.za/eureka-fastener-finder/nailins.php?cat=masonry

Excellent, let me know how it turns out

I stand to be corrected but I think it was blackwood

what about it?

All the best

Thank you so much for the lovely comment and for subscribing.

No need✨✨

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks for your comment and support 👍

Isn’t it both?

thanks for letting me know

that's what I thought

Hi @RoyalGuardianStudios Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like a hands-free phone holder could be a useful tool for you. I am not sure what I would build and would need to look at already available items to get an idea

um...just use a magnifier screen > ?

Thank you! I really appreciate your comment

Thank you for the comment and support

Thank you

Hi King Cuff, I am not sure on the weight, but it definitely was a heavy one, this is why I went with 240mm 12mm thick threaded bar to accommodate the weight.

👍

you are correct, but it was during the lockdowns so I used what I had in my garage :D
