Hello to everyone, just got some quick questions i hope you can help me with. :oops: The first question is, when scribeing frames to a wall do you use a jigsaw to remove the scribed material? When leveling a frame of the floor do you use wedges, offcuts, etc? When routering the edges of...

Hi to everyone, i am anewbie so i am hoping you can offer me some advice. I got some plans from a woodwork book to make some storage units, the plans state to use 4" by 1.5" for all the end and centre panels, and to use 2" by 1.5" for the front and back rails (all PAR softwood). All i could get...

Cheers Mdotflorida and Pecker, i will try both the merchants you suggested, probally timberman first as i think it is closer and i do a bit of work down camarthen. The internet is a good idea as well although i assume you have to get quite a big order when using the internet. A mate of mine...
