Boiled or raw? Or does it not matter?

The front pieces are 399 and 69mm deep, the rear pieces are 44 and 149 deep. All 855 wide (make them as wide as you want though) and 18mm MDF. Between the front and rear sections is the fence which is 18mm MDF again and mine seems to be 64mm high but that seems excessive ( may not be...

As far as shadow gaps go you just use the adjustment screws on the hinge itself, however with those style mounting plates I think you may be lacking in vertical adjustment. Can you not use the cruciform style mount which would allow this? The tech drawing appears to be for overlay use, should...

Dd you Have your headlights on when you tried putting your full beams on? If not they will not stay on... Also your guage lights will not be lit without at least your sidelights on

I have a Magnusson hammer that I found about 15 years ago. It's brilliant. Lad that I work with bought one a couple of months ago and it is complete tat. I'm just waiting for the grip to fall off.... We have a few of their sash clamps, most of which are ok but one the thread jams part way...

Paint the bench with woodworm killer https://www.screwfix.com/p/sika-sikagard-woodworm-killer-clear-5ltr/56214 It is clear and contains permethrin which is an insecticide. Not sure how long it will last, but possibly longer than soapy water. Hope this helps, Mike

This is my dream.

You could use a pva/water mix to seal everything, then deep base self leveling compound to bring the low areas up, pva again then regular thin set self leveling compound all over to finish?

I have used the square drive screws from both kreg and Triton, there doesn't appear to be any difference in quality. We now get our pocket hole screws from Hafële - perfectly fine and POZI DRIVE! 😀

Yes you need to pack out from the bench with some scrap. If a panel length is slightly longer than the bench is high, I have packed up the bench surface to suit, however at 1.5 meters I would be asking the boss to do a redesign for practical purposes...

There is a method of cutting this angle with the tracksaw. Difficult to explain without photos, but basically you clamp the board vertically to the side of your bench and use the saw to cut the opposing angle on the end of the board (rather than the required angle on the face). In your case...

I have the original rubber adapter, non-use whatsoever for attaching to an extractor hose, more for directing the dust away from your face...

Awesome idea, I may have to pinch this!

When using an sds drill you sometimes need to go half to 1mm smaller in drill size than if just using a hammer drill. Example For a brown plug use 7mm bit for hammer drill - 6mm bit for sds. Also if your screw isn't getting a good grip in your plug, it is often possible to put a plug that...

You apply the finish before using the wax filler. Much easier to get a good colour match
