    How To Edge Joint

    Great post Custard; it's always good to be reminded how things should be done! Personally, I just joint my boards on the table saw. A sharp blade with plenty of teeth and the finish is perfectly good enough. I've got a decent saw, though. I'm retiring soon though, and giving up my Norm-style...

    Contemporary Display Unit in MR MDF and Walnut

    Here's a photo I took of the unit in course of being fitted; The carcasses are simply a load of painted MDF boxes which fit neatly together on site with overlapping facia stiles to to hide any gaps. Battens are screwed in place to support the shelves. The 50mm thick shelves are made from two...
