    Oak Floating Shelves - drilling holes

    Hi Phil, Yes ... the brackets are a bit strange. They are 250mm long and with the ‘plate’ being 4mm thick, that’s where I’m getting my 255mm from, allowing 5mm for the recess that the plate will sit in.

    Bosch GCM 12 GDL

    This was my first mitre saw of any kind when purchased 12 months ago (with the gravity rise trolley) - and I’ve found using it great. It’s fairly heavy, so perfect for a fixed station (or on the trolley). Dust collection isn’t perfect but there are various hacks to improve that (Dan Pattison on...
