Thanks for the suggestions, guys... I'll let you know how I get on next week! Cheers!

Jason, thanks for the idea... unfortunately my CNC machine was in the boot of my Ferrari when it was nicked last week :D As for downloading dimensions, that still involves drawing and cutting with a jigsaw - I was hoping to avoid anything that involved making up a template from a drawing only...

Hi all, I've bought an undermount sink for a kitchen I'll be fitting next week - Franke ARX 160 if anyone wants all the details. The template it comes with for cutting is just a bit of flimsy card in the exact shape of the hole you need to cut out - not sturdy enough to guide a router, and even...

Thanks for the replies guys and the photos Jason... the weathered look is expected and fine - I'm not expecting it to match the coffee table ;-) I've only really realised quite how much the garden slopes since looking at it in terms of how much account I have to make of it in the raised beds up...

Thanks for the help & encouragement everyone... if nobody has any definite reasons why it can't work, it time to think about some proper plans, I think... keep the thoughts coming and I'll let you know how I get along. Cheers!

I'm looking to do a number of projects in my garden over the coming months - raised beds, decking and a climbing frame/slide/swing thing for my daughter. We want it all to look right together and like the look of "just wood" rather than stained/treated softwood, so I want to be able to make it...
