Nice job, especially using someone elses bunyan tube, they are a pain in the ar5e to store as the tube must be kept straight, nice flat bays though.
Shame about the penny pinching on the dowels, even gash steel chopped in lengths is better than nothing!

I have always liked the bunyon tube, better to hire one in tho'. Remember the old design when the clip holding the handle used to fly off and everyone dive for cover

I own a 6.3m tube and my mate has full selection up to 10m....what a tube.he has a trailer with special tray to carry them looks like a scud missile,so they keep dead straight, a bent tube is nooooo good....

Just one question. Are you going to seal the joints, if so wouldn't it of been beneficial to you to rip some 20 ml rebate for ease of striking? If not, tell me to f*** off and mind my own business :laugh:

Zactly!
One that always gets me is when you put in a crack inducer in bays like these, faff about with mesh, dowel bars etc etc and then faff with the crack inducer strip...and then one year down the line the top part is cracked and peeling out the joint, the groove is full of dust and no mastic in sight!!
sean, what do you think of the kerb thing for the bunyan tube, runs along the top of the kerb when doing roads. Used one last year was such a pain we resorted to 2 bits of timber as a "chopper" :;):

If you use the "kerb crawler" made by spedecrete they work great,fully adjustable the one i saw them making in the factory last week was 8" wide so it sits flat, MSH

Sean, your the man on this sorta stuff, when you say "rebate" do you mean a rip of timber that sits on top of the fibre board....if so, how do you get it stay put and how do you get it out after? I take it you can run the bullnose trowel up against/along the edge of the timber, leaving a nice clean gap for sealer?
