I personally think its pretty good. Very similar to a fishing forum i go on.. The adverts dont bother me. I can still read posts and view pictures so i dont see what the problem is with the ads.

Looks really nice john. I like the blue finish inside the cabinates.. Did you fit the corian?

are you getting rid of your old site alan?

Thought it was a long shot, All his woodworking photos were left behind at his ex wifes house over 5 years ago. Anyhow he did explain it to me. He is a blacksmith (and welder) by trade so it was mainly constructed from 50x50x5mm steel angle. The base was a steel pedestal with a 3'x3' frame on...

I,m popping to his tomorrow so i,l ask him. Theres a strong chance he wont have any as he,s moved twice since then. It was a pretty simple design, I,l see if he still has any drawings for it to.

My dad used to make sheds in his workshop before he retired. I think his jig was (off the top of my head) 12'x6' as that was kind of the biggest he did as a standardish Wall panel size. Anything bigger he used to build without a jig. For anything smaller he had inserts that he could put in place...

I know its out your way alan but viking hardware or future fixings both in hull do all kinds of small brass screws. Best to ring to double check tho as they might not stock them and have to order them in.

The amount of supports would depend on the length of the shelves. Maybe tempted to put a lipping on the front to aid the risk of sagging if your not putting to many supports up.

That diy extra link uses 600mm centres for the uprights. This could be just self prefrence but i do my uprights 400mm centres. I always pink grip the two intermediate uprights too.

yes i posted then read an earlier post which already answered my question so i deleted it. You dont miss much, It was only there for about 30 seconds :D

That could mean alot of time glueing new edgings between the face sides of hollow doors.

Be a shame if they have stopped because there a good accurate saw.
