Thanks a ton all :D Will try my luck with Cutwrights or avonplywoods

Thanks @Andy and @mbartlett99 Planning to use Treatex Color Tones or something similar to get the wood grain effect with the desired color, any other method to get the wood grain effect with color (Planning to go for a dark blue or green look) Thanks

Hi All, Quite a newbie in cabinet making. We are in the process of renovating our house, build cabinets for a kitchenette (Using a table saw with sliding table carriage) and came to the conclusion that cutting plywood (Making sure it's square on all for edges) is a bit tricky and time...

Thanks for that :)

Hardwood panelling sounds good, not sure how / where to get a 12 mm board though. Would it warp as it's thin board / presence of moisture in the bathroom?

Thanks for the advice. So if a pick up a 12 mm MR MDF and route, it would work right? Also is there a way to treat it to make it waterproof?

Hi All, Sorry if I am in the wrong forum with this doubt. In the new bathroom that we are building (Freestanding bath kept quite close to the wall since using concealed taps and controls fitted to that wall). I am planning to give the wall a wood panelled look (clean horizontal lines around 2...

I have made some basic stuffs, shelves etc. Also have a scheppach precisa 3.0, hopefully that would give me precise cuts. Glad to know that .8 mm veneered birch would do the trick. Was a bit worried that any sanding may expose the inner veneer. Thanks for the advice :)

Quick doubt, came to know the oak veneer is just .8mm, is that a good candidate for cabinet making?

Hi All, Thanks for all the information on the forum. Finally taking a plunge (Design is all in place, using Sketchup). Will add the design to the thread later. Plan is to buy 1200 x 2400 oak veneered ply (A/B grade) from http://cambridgetimber.co.uk/Oakplywood.html Thought of going with a...

Yeah using pocket screws to secure the edges, also building a frameless one (full acecss) one. It's a kitchenette and trying to use every mm possible. I could use MDF for door front plates and BB / BB grade ply for the rest of the cabinets. Do you have any suggestions of shops to buy B / BB...

Birch Plywood BB Grade 2440mm x 1220mm, and 18mm thickness is the what TP says, could be local to Cambridge, I guess

Can't I sand BB/BB to a smooth finish for painting? Our plan is to buy BB/BB (The one I saw in TP just says "Birch Plywood BB Grade 2440mm x 1220mm x 18mm", guessing it's BB on both faces. Make cabinets out of them, do edge banding (Might use real wood strip cut out using my table saw, worst...

Thanks for the prompt reply and really sorry for delay on my part. I was looking for any responses on the post from the profile page that just shows my post and not any comments, and I thought I was alone in this world :) Thanks a ton for your input. BB is the grade that I saw in TP, The idea is...

Too late for me to turn back. Bought most of the tools necessary to do this, also not much monies left to shop around (In the final process of renovating a 60 year old house, there were lot of curve balls) Also the plan is to start building a kitchenette first and then do the kitchen to get a...
