    Removing hardboard backing

    Thanks all, the cause was a version of measure twice cut once 🙈🤣, chisel it will be.

    Removing hardboard backing

    Many thanks, the intention was to just glue the blocks together face to face but school boy error was forgetting squeeze out 🙈, in hindsight if I had coated the background with m as masking tape I would be ok. I think I will try chisel and sander. Every day's a school day in the shed 🤣🤣

    Removing hardboard backing

    I have made a board using 130+ wood block and used a hardboard backer. Question is how to remove it. Can I put it through my thicknesser or could this be a problem. Otherwise I guess chisel and sander is the only solution.

    Removing cup from chessboard

    Thanks, that is helpful. My current plan is to route a 5mm trench across the back, place in a stainless steel bar in resin and then place a lot of weight on the top and 🤞🤞🤞, fortunately I have some bar from another project so if all goes wrong I am no worse off. This is my first post I have been...

    A good option but I have already cut the box sides to hold the pieces so won't fit 😭

    Removing cup from chessboard

    Thanks for that, are you suggesting cutting shallow trench or. Table saw kerf, then fill with hardwood strips, they could only be about 5mm deep. Also what centres would they be. Sorry so many questions.

    Removing cup from chessboard

    I have made a hardwood chessboard which is just under 10mm thick, it has cupped by about 2mm in the middle. I have tried just putting weight on and it flattened it but as soon as removing it the cup returned. Don't really want to glue mdf backing board. Any suggestions as to whether gluing...
