Its a 352S. The motors were on the outside on these..

I've laid two floors in my house - Solid Walnut Parquet on a chipboard subfloor and Oak engineered with birch ply back and 6mm of oak onto a concrete screeded floor with wet UFH. Both times i used Lecol 5500. So far so good been down a few years and doesn't worry me at all. Incidentally the...

Hi, I have a set of these I purchased in 2009. I don't use often but wouldn't be without them, I am not sure they would be a high volume sales product, but I would love to see them for sale again! Good luck with your venture if you go ahead =D>

Two years ago i bought my house and there is a detached garage built in 1988. The garage was on a PP granted that also included a large 3 storey extension. I enquired with the Local Authority, and the said that I 'could just get on and build the extension'. The drawings were 30 years old, and i...

Hi Farmer Giles, My two penneth... I built full birch ply cabinets last year on standard dimensions and purchased all of my hardware from Hafele. I am very happy with it all but there is something to be aware of, especially if you like a really good quality 'thing' - I purchased my drawer...

That model may be one of the Italian ones made by ACM, can you post a picture?

I looked at the WA6 last year, size being one of the reasons (plus Altendorf quality) and thought of the converter option... I went with the Felder K500S machine in the end and couldn't be happier. I don't think the WA6 is anything like 'normal' Altendorf quality, possibly manufactured by...

Skipdriver, The 'laying off' brush that i bought was a Hamilton, it just left long brush strokes in the paint however i used it. The picasso wont leave lines when used side by side. I haven't used any other hamilton brushes on this project though. I guess its about expectation - the finish i...

Thanks for the positive comments- to answer a few questions- First of all - the colour. My wife purchased every grey colour from the Mylands range one at a time at £4.50 a pop and still could not decide. I was desperate to get some paint on, so went with Mylands light grey primer. She looked at...

OK, a pile of wood for the doors: The doors are 25mm thick, with 75mm rails and stiles. I have grooved the panels in approx 20mm and used 6mm ply for some of the doors and 6mm mdf for others as that's what i had spare at the time. I have run the 20mm groove around the ends of the rails and...

Steve F - Re socket - I am pretty confident that this wont get wet, but time will tell. No fused spur on this one i'm afraid, i can get access behind via the dishwasher if need be to add one. Thanks for your comments :)

Face frames were made from Poplar/Tulip wood. This is the first time I have used this timber and it machines and works beautifully although as many others have previously said, it is very soft. Drawer face frame - I routed an 8mm cock bead onto the frame. The frame was 27mm deep and 40mm wide...

This is my first, and possibly last kitchen build, and I researched a great deal on this forum, taking tips from numerous other kitchen build threads. Unfortunately, i am a little light on pictures in the early stages but if anyone has any specific questions about how I went about a certain task...

Been on this project at weekends/evenings since July!! Although i didn't start building the actual kitchen until October. To give it a little context, it started with a 1980's hand built kitchen (very nicely made) that i removed from a kitchen that was a little starved of natural light...

I will start a WIP separately as there seems to be some interest in Painted kitchens at the moment..
