    Anybody own a holiday let?

    I'd go into this VERY carefully. The chancellor has announced that the favourable tax treatment furnished holiday lettings currently benifit from will be abolished with effect April 2025! This includes offsetting your mortgage interest against the income to reduce tax liability. I'd be...

    Workshop design suggestions - L Shaped garden room

    Really appreciate the responses so far. The drawing is not to scale, it was rushed last night after my Mrs gave me an agreement in principal. She really doesn't want me to extend the garage! I'll update it later this week when work allows. The use of the workshop is purely as a hobby, who...

    Workshop design suggestions - L Shaped garden room

    Hi all, I've asked on this forum in the past about garage extension ideas. Well my lovely wife has put paid to that idea, she really really doesn't want to spoil the look of our house. It would look very one sides with a garage extension on a garage extension. So, tonight we sat and talked...

    A Little JK Something....

    That is so good. Well done that man. I don't want to detract from the design and execution, which really is flawless. I do however wonder, is it a project for yourself, a gift or is it something you will sell? What is the value of something like that - The hours alone not to mention the...

    Which Router?

    @Michael Conifer where are you based? If you are local to Oxford I'd be happy to spend an hour or 2 going through my router collection and pro's con's in person. It was because of this forum i met a guy in Didcot who introduced me to a Domino Joiner!! Since there is has been a downhill decline

    Cartlodge - SE for foundation design in Essex?

    I can't comment on your area however on the few builds I've done in the Oxford area the way is usually works is SE advises on foundation requirements. This is captured into a technical drawing and then when it comes to building it the BC officer checks it meets that spec. However on the last...

    Attaching a top to a unit?!?!?!

    Thanks all. Understood. The cranked table top brackets look ideal. If i'd have thought about the buttons before assembly I would have been about to route some slots into the MDF sides. Although typing this, i guess i still could of i had a decent enough base for the router to sit on. Thank You

    Attaching a top to a unit?!?!?!

    I'm not sure i've explained the design properly. The oak is going to stay oak, to match a desk within that room and some shelves. Sort of like that.... This kind of style: Thanks again.

    Attaching a top to a unit?!?!?!

    Just had another thought... I could, if i was good enough route a 18mm channel in the underside of the oak top and that way the MDF would sitinto it a bit, i could then get a LOT of glue covered to hopefully stop the oak top cupping and moving? Thank You

    Attaching a top to a unit?!?!?!

    Thanks for the replies so far. I think what your saying is to fit an MDF top and then screw threw this into the oak? I wasn't planning on having an MDF top at all. I thought the oak would just clue to the end grain of the MDF (3 sides as its open on the front). Maybe a veneered oak top...
