Arrived today. Nice chap in a van, family run business based in Sheffield (fair way from Bedfordshire). He had dropped off something local and had 4 other drops in west London for the day. This was £250 delivered, with base painted any F&B colour we wanted. It happened to be perfect size for...

A few items I had my eye on had sold and been taken off, and given I was only looking at a tiny amount I would say things sell well on there.

Love to see how these things are made, looks amazing. Must be very satisfying to see the whole place come together. Are you living in the house whilst doing all this work? Do you have a before pic of the whole place?

I have just bought a coffee table off Etsy, it gets delivered Wednesday. It was £250, customer size and paint colour of my choice (base, legs) and natural wood finish. This was a delivered by a man in a van. I can't fathom how it makes money. Interested to see what it is like!

haha. Facebook recently set up it's latest AI testing between two different sets of Robots in which they had to exchange things between them looking for the best possible result, effectively testing negotiation intelligence. They had to stop the test, as extremely quickly the robots had created...

I sell robots for a living (sadly software robots nothing physical) and the technology is moving at such a rapid pace. Anyone doing manual unskilled labor is very much at risk in the next 10 years. What happens with grass collection with a robot mower?

Hi Peter, thanks for your help. 18mm sides and 6mm base it is :occasion5: Have taken a look at your video's most helpful! And yes there will be draw fronts, the plan is to make a chest box, use soft close side runners and space the draws out evenly and flush to the face. Then add the fronts...

I have seen warnings about MDF splitting under pressure of the pocket screws etc, so was thinking I would rather spend the money and make something that will last. IKEA PAX system for the size we need was around £1200 (It is 4 meters of wardrobe) so as long as I come in under that I am happy. I...

Hi, For my wardrobe, I am going to be making 16 drawers with a fairly simple construction. I will be cutting the front and back slightly shorter so that I can screw the draw bottom up into them. The sides will have a recess about 2cm up for the draw bottom to slide into. The front and back will...

Updated drawings. I was having a think about which parts I can build in my garage, and which would need to be done in situ given it is a bit of a narrow space. I came to the conclusion I could build a tall bookcase and a chest in the garage, then connect in situ and simply add a top section...

Thanks for the kind words, I was a painter by trade many years ago but the decorative bits and leather replacement were all new to me. F&B Railings is the colour, looks really good. Doesn't half cover well too, I bought a 2.5ltr tub and still have 90% of it left!

I do want it! And I agree, it can really make it. The slight issue I have, is I was going to ask an electrician to help wire me in something off the switch inside, but the lights in there are 4 spots. It is quite a narrow space at 1.4m, so once the spots are on it will be pretty well lit! I need...

So I have tweaked the design slight to accommodate some better features, and utilise the ceiling height a bit more. Firstly, each side will have a divide in the centre of 8 drawers, meaning the draw width is only 80cm (taking away any strength issues with the drawers). The bottom two sets will...

They look awesome, top top job.

Ah man, sorry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKVo-rLv-W8

I'm thinking ply might be better material. If I am understanding your post correctly, I think you mean this attachment technique (I know he cut a groove on 3 sides) so I think you mean copy the technique he used on the back also on the front. I am comfortable I can make sturdy drawers this way.

Thanks for the reply. Would making them narrower help? What is your thoughts on the base material/thickness? The plan was to make a complete 18mm MDF box, with the base inset into a cut out etc and then put a front facia on the draw for aesthetics.

So putting aside what is used to cut the wood for a minute :) This is the initial design using Ikea's handy software. There is a couple of adaptions that I will make purely as I can't change much. First big question, is I would like the bottom 3 drawers to go right across. I have the...

Here you go. http://gidnews.com/page/scheppach-hms-2 ... er-manual/

horrible horrible feeling, hope the missus is ok about it (if there is a missus!) as it tends to effect them more.
