Yeah sorry the corners can be rounded I'm not fussed about the being perfect 90 degree corners. To be fair rounded corners will go with the rest of the bed.

When you say sacrificial block I assume you mean that attaches to my router to keep it steady? Thank you for your info.

Yeah I was thinking the same problem is then building a template that gives a perfect rectangle. Plus I used a template I made earlier but found that my router rocked too much. It wasn't stable enough on the template so the cuts got all messed up.

I'm trying to cut out a specific sized rectangle repeated along some mdf as part of a handrail for a bunk bed. Problem is I have attempted today to cut some of the rectangles out today using a jig saw. Let's just saw they are not square in the slightest. I then thought maybe I should be using...

Thanks for all the advice guys. Atm i dont have the capital to buy a more exoensive saw. Honestly if i did i would. My table saw is kept at my workshop at all times. Never had any need for a portable one. Have seen alot of people building some fences on youtube but dont want to build one for...

So i have got myself a evolution table saw. Yes i know they arent great but for now whilst im starting up with my business it hopefully will serve me well. So my question is the only problem i have found with it is this. Where can i find a replacement RIP fence. The one provided is garbage and...

I want to build a a t.v cabinet where the actual t.v appears from the cabinet. A bit like all of these T.V beds. Now from what i have looked into using electric linear actuators will be my best bet, i have found some kits on ebay for less than £100 but none of them seem to come with a power...

I just used a Kreg pocket hole jig, litterally the whole of this wardrobe apart from the doors is pocket holes, most hidden on the outside of the carcass so they cannot be seen. The door tracks where Ares Sliding Door System. And i tell you they really are silent even with the wardrobe being...

So here is the final piece finished, used pocket holes for most of the joinery and has worked a treat. Added some mood changing LED lights above it.

Also any chance someone can point me in the direction of a cross dowel jig? Many Thanks all. Btw Marku that castle bed looks amazing.

Thank you for all the information, i thought 4x2's would be kinda overkill also. So im better off with cross dowelling with some added dowels included for extra support? Also can anyone recommend a good primer to spray through spray gun ideally a LOW VOC primer. I will certainly need to be...

Also i have seen some builds being made using T-Nuts and bolts but i wouldnt of thought Mdf would be strong enough to hold T-Nuts in the end grain of MDF.

Hi, im building a 3 tier bunk bed with the bottom bunk pulling out. My question is im building it out of 3/4" MDF and want advice about how to connect the pieces of MDF together. I have seen plenty of MDF beds built and was wondering what sort of method they are using to connect the pieces...

Another question one thing im new to is the whole pocket hole assembly. For 18mm board what size pocket hole screws should i use? Many Thanks

Thanks for the information guys, much appreciated. How much would you expect i can pick up sheets of MRMDF for? I have seen the wickes sell it for £24 for 8x4 sheets. Do you think i will be able to get it cheaper from anywhere else? Many Thanks

Hi i have designed this built in wardbrobe for a friend, and i am looking to build it as cheap as possible for them but at the same time i want it to be structually sound. I was thinking of using MDF for everything due to its smooth finish after painting. Didnt want to use plywood as they want...
