Anyone know if bookcase strips are available in white, preferably flat and easy to recess? I've googled and can find plenty, just not in white.

Why am I finding it so difficult to have a door made? I know the dimensions and have a rough design. I don't think it's a difficult design. It will be unglazed so I can source glazing units that will match a sidelight. It will sit between an unheated but weather tight porch and a hallway and...

So I'm out of ideas. SWMBO has her heart set on replacing an entrance door with something more contemporary. She did some browsing and decided upon XL joinery's Lucca, ie asymetric with five sandblasted double glazed panels. Now the problem is that there is a large sidelight in the door frame...

I'm planning to replace the door between my porch (enclosed but unheated) and the hall. It's not exposed to any rain, but the porch leaks air [A project for next year!] The new door will be an exterior one, 44mm thick. I want to draught proof the new door but keep the threshold as flat as...

I was pondering how to joint something and I started to think about a dowel screw. You know the sort of thing I mean; wood screw thread on one end, machine screw thread on the other. Thing is, I'd need it at the perfect angle which might be tricky. My obvious solution to that would be one with...

So what are they called? I've been trying to google them but can't find the right search terms to bring up what I'm looking for. What I'm trying to built is a shelf mounted about half way up on the inside cupboard. The simple solution is just a couple of brackets, but because the cupboard is...

So I've some ogee architrave from ~5 years ago and I want to get some more. First lot was supplied by a local joiner, long since packed up and fled the UK to somewhere warmer. I've had a look about online but not found anything identical yet. I've seen some referred by a pattern number but...

It has served me well but the time had come for me to replace my old utility aka Stanley knife. I've seen retractable ones and fixed ones and and foldable ones and ones with compartments to hold 50 spare blades and ones that stir coffee while staying connected to the wifi, but I just want a...

This might not be the right forum to ask in but .... It has been brought to my attention that our front door is "naff" and is to be replaced. SWMBO has spoken therefore it has been added to the list. Selecting a nice timber door and fitting it really shouldn't be a problem. Existing door frame...

I'm looking for a hinge for a problem kitchen wall cupboard. The problem is the previous owners fitted the cupboard flush into a corner then tiled the wall. So, 500mm wide cupboard carcass with a 496mm wide door, 18mm thick. It looks like the existing hinges have been cranked as far over as...

In my hamfisted way, I want to "make" a door to suit a room. My hair brained scheme is to take a perfectly reasonable 4 panel pine door, slice the middle out, join the parts together with worktop bolts, and pass it off a as 2 panel door. becomes Working in my favour are: it's only really...

Ok, this might be a bit off topic, but please be gentle. We've a room with a blank wall and a need for storage space. Current tentative thinking is around something like a Welsh dresser, well sideboard with a bookcase on top. Problem is it's a big wall. We're looking for something about 3.2m...
