    Best Paint Sprayer - Reasonable Cost

    Hi geoff I’m not too sure on spraying but I wonder if an alternative option might also be to outsource the spraying to someone else? Would save you investing in something that you plan to use once unless you would think about selling after use? Cheers Pete

    Blum hinges

    Thanks Clive, I think I’ve just been thinking about it the wrong way round. I’ll make the carcass and the frame first and then worry about the doors rather than the other way round! Cheers Peter

    Blum hinges

    Thanks for that Doug. I guess I’m just not 100% sure on face frames. So for example I’ve got a run of built in wardrobes all with inset doors sitting flush within the carcass. How do I then add a face frame which also sits flush with the doors and the carcass and doesn’t show the end grain of...

    Corner wardrobe build

    Hi all Thanks for all the suggestions some really good advice. And on the back of this I’ll be heading to ikea tomorrow to see if I can get any inspiration. I’ll try not to buy too many dime bars 😂. Cheers Pete

    Blum hinges

    Hi everyone I’ve generally used butt hinges on most of my projects and don’t have much experience of the kitchen cabinet/blum style hinges. I’m sure I read somewhere on this forum that inset hinges aren’t designed to be flush with the carcass, is that right or have I misunderstood? Also for...

    Recommend drawer runners

    Morning everyone I’m about to embark on my first set of drawers. Can anyone recommend drawer runners? The choice is bewildering! Something sturdy and with soft close? They are just for clothes in a wardrobe so won’t be holding a huge amount of weight. Cheers Pete

    Sold Startrite TA 145 saw (Refurbished)

    Hi Tim What a magnificent restoration!! Looks absolutely tremendous. Is it right that it’s only 90kg? If I had room I’d bite your hand off for this. Cheers Pete

    Block plane wanted

    Hi Adam Did you ever manage to offload the block plane that was looking for a new home? Would be happy to buy it off you if it’s still surplus to requirements. Cheers Pete

    How much would you charge?

    Evening everyone I’ve done a few jobs like this now, but roughly how much would you charge/do you charge to build a cabinet around this pipework? Double shaker doors (probably 6mm panel and 18mm stiles and rails), 22mm countertop with ovolo detail, all primed and double top coat (white...

    Types of MDF for bookcases and kitchen cabinets

    Hi jon I’m in the Newcastle area too. You could try Ashley timber in South Shields, they are very reasonable. Arbor timber in meadow field/Durham is also great, with an old fashioned machine shop but they are a bit more expensive. Another alternative is nordstroms in Sunderland (they’ve...

    Startrite 352

    Thanks for all the responses everyone. My workshop is fairly small and access isn’t great so I think I’d struggle to get anything bigger than the Startrite in there. And yes it’s mainly shorter lengths I’d be ripping. I sometimes feel burning the logs that I can kindly get from a local tree...
