I'm having trouble finding birch ply I live in North Derbyshire, nearest towns are Stockport, Buxton Any ideas where I can find it?

First effort, gas meter cabinet, almost finished when i plug the screw holes

thanks everyone seems the straight cutter is easier to get at a decent price, although more of a buggeration factor in actually using it

It's my brothers router, I'm not paying him :D He has got a set of cheap bits, none of which will do the job I'm struggling to find a slotted bit for much under £30 :?

I've borrowed a router but I need a different bit for it I want to cut an 8mm groove along the narrow side of some 20mm x 44mm timber so I can insert some panels I don't know the name of the bits to cut grooves, and where to get one from I don't want to spend much as I will only be using it a...

I'm thinking of putting up some floating shelves in the alcoves next to my fireplace Underneath on one side I was going to build a built in cupboard I've not done anything like that before I'll have access to a router, but will mostly be using hand tools and a workmate Should I just use 2x2...

It's the jointing that I am not sure about I can't work out how the box in the pic is constructed Doesn't look like dovetail, and I can't see any dowels etc If using lap joints would they be glued and dowelled? the French cleat sounds like the way to go many thanks

I've not really thought about what timber to use, open to suggestions

Hi The shelf is 440 x 410 x 130 high I don't have a way of weighing my bike, but it's a light race bike from the 80's, using the lightest tubing around at the time I might shorten the distance the shelf sits away from the wall to reduce leverage slightly, I just need to make sure my bike...
