Crown race fitting tool - £3 from B&Q!!

(1/5) > >>

Jaan:
So I was in B&Q buying some wet and dry paper and having a general browse when I walked past the kitchen / bedroom unit furniture legs and had an idea...

Heres the leg



I pulled out the adjuster...



Wrapped some masking tape to soften the edge...



It fits perfectly... But a tad long - they did sell shorter ones but I wanted to be safe (a little too safe)



A couple of taps with the mallet and hey presto!!!



Not bad for a few quid  ;)

Please don't all queue up and tell me this is the 112th time someone has posted this idea  ;D

Thats a pretty cool little contraption youve found there Chris!  :daumenhoch:

James Nada:
Good find.  I have a short length of scaffolding for the job.

Jaan:
The shorter leg was about £2.50 and would fit in my toolkit better but it did the job and the fit is perfect.

pickle:
great buy!  will get one of those at the weekend  :daumenhoch:
