[@slbleadworks]

Thank you

[@Simon__Davies]

Hi Stuart. Great vid. Have you made any vids on the health and safety of leadworking? A fb vid was suggested to me by the algorithym and the leadworker was getting an annual lead test? Just thought. Thanks 😊

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. No I havn’t but it’s a great idea. Thank you. Ps, there’s a new vid going live on Sunday hopefully. But it’s over an hour long 🤦🏻‍♂️😂.

@@slbleadworks over an hour? No problem. Im there 😅

[@multirole240]

Great video Stu,. You didn't appear to put building paper under the lead capping, was there a reason for that please.

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. It is under there. I put it on as I go.

[@samwang4854]

very nice

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you

[@jeffers2923]

Another great video stu ,can I ask what the building paper is for please regards Jeff

[@slbleadworks]

Thanks Jeff. The building paper is used to protect the underside of the lead from alkalis in the stone.

Nice house. Nice work.

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. Yes it’s a lovely property. I love working on houses like this.

Hi Stuart I just brought a victorian property a which has a bay it has a gully/ flat roof with stone copping and draining off to one side. Could you lead the whole thing or would you use another material for the gully flat then cap the copping?? Hope I explained it right cheers Justin

[@slbleadworks]

Hi Justin. It sounds like the whole thing could be done in lead. But I would have to see a picture to know for sure. Your could send one to my Instagram account.

Hi Stuart do you do flat roofs in the Wembley area?

[@slbleadworks]

Yes I do work around that area.

Beautiful work

Thank you and thanks for watching.

Glad it's not just me that keeps rags till they're beyond absorption and looses the oil lids haha, I've started pouring it in to a spray bottle 👍 top work Stu mate.

[@rhysyboy1]

Is the spray bottle any good?

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. Yes I’m always on the look out for new oiling rags. It’s usually my socks once they get holes in 😳😂

[@grantconnor2664]

@@slbleadworks I used my exs old dressing gown been cutting chucks out of it for months haha

[@patrickmcconnell9725]

Can you put a few welding videos on when you get time please?

[@slbleadworks]

Yes I’m thinking about making another vid solely on welding. All the different cuts etc. I think it’s my welding vid that’s the most popular so far.

[@bat197]

Though I really enjoy the videos, I don't know why England still allows lead in exposed construction.

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. And thanks for watching.

[@Pj-yy2my]

hi stu i have been looking at model o castolin portable welding kit its on ebay do you think it would be ok to learn with or oxy turbo 200 would appreciate your advice thanks paul

[@slbleadworks]

I would say out of the two that the model o Castolin would be easier. The oxy turbo 200 gun is quite difficult to use as it heats up a large area. But ideally I wouldn’t get either one. You can get the little kits like this with a genuine model o torch. That’s the one to go for.

[@johnmooney5693]

Great video. What fixings are you using in the copper clips. I normally use stainless steel screws

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. I’m using stainless steel ring shanked nails.

Hi Stuart how’s you back going ? Are you back at work? Ian.

[@slbleadworks]

Hi Ian I’m currently on holiday. My back has a few better days occasionally. But still along way to go. When I do try going back to work I’m going to have to be really sensible moving the rolls of lead. I’ll try and cut everything into smaller sizes first. I’ll try and make everything as light as possible.

[@ianstevens9655]

@@slbleadworks hi Stuart. Hope your taking it easy on holiday and your back is feeling better..I go for the smaller rolls. 390 and above 3 m. So easy to move about no stress. Code 5 and above cut on the ground. A little bit of leg work and very little back work. Your skill is working with lead. 6m 450. That’s a lot on the back. 3m 450 not so bad. It works for me. Do let me no how your getting on. Ian

[@slbleadworks]

@@ianstevens9655 Hi Ian yes I’ve been taking it easy. I fly home tomorrow. My back is probably pretty similar to be honest. Maybe slightly better. I think when I get home I’m going to try and do a few days with my mate. It will be Slightly easier as he will probably help with all the lifting. And a good test for me to try and ease back into things.
