BigMac I will need to dig out the details which are all at home, so I will do that when I am back next week (I will not tell you how long I have had the materials.....which is why I cannot recall the prices!). As to accuracy, I think they specify that they work to toleramce of +/- 1mm, but on...

Severn Ply have a reasonable range (26mm veneered) including Ash veneered both sides A/B, which I assume means one is better than the other. See here http://www.severnply.com/products/vb03.php You may be interested in my post earlier in the projects section which refers to their cutting...

Once they are set up here they work a dream; however, I have to agree that they were a real faff to fit and adjust properly. These are Blum runners and my first experience of fitting them. I thought they would have much better adjustability than they do. In particular, there is no front to...

I thought I should post some details of some units I am building in our conversion project. This is a conversion of an old chapel hall where we have put in a new floor - the bedrooms have rooflights and to satisfy fire regulations there has to be a means of escape no more than 1100mm from the...

That looks very nicely finished. I would be interested to know what finishing materials and methods you used - I am just about to ask for some advice on water based spray paint finish for some MDF bedroom units. On a related point, I have been alarmed at some swelling on a MR MDF panel I have...

Nope, that was the wrong picture Hopefully this is the correct one - sorry for my inexperience

That probably would have been a better idea for my drawers, where I only did this on the back. Thank you for that. I will try uploading a picture as an experiment (please bear with me if it fails) (Yes there is a rogue 6mm hole where I drilled the rear retaining hole on the wrong side! It...

I have just made a bunch of drawers very similar to what you describe. In my case, front and back joints were through dovetailed on the Woodrat with the spacing set out to put the rebate through a tail (this leaves a visible end of the rebate at the front, but in this case I am adding a painted...

I have been following this with interest. I like the substantial design of the box. It is not clear to me how you are fitting the parting slip/wagtail. Given the wide pocket you have cut, could you have a fixed parting slip which would seem superior to the usual flappy one that in my...

Cardboard, or preferably hardboard, or better still thin plywood, in two or more pieces as suggested earlier. You only need thin strips to run round the edges. But don't screw the pieces together; use a hot melt glue gun (joining the pieces with small offcuts, rather than overlapping the...

Do you have Norton 360 or something silimar? With Norton you have to turn off "Tamper Protection" whilst the system restore process runs. This drove me nuts for a while, but is really simple once you know.

Dan I would be tempted to go for the old style one you have on offer. I have one and it is a joy to use - I imagine the plastic paddle version will be quite satisfactory, but you will not go wrong with the metal pins (I recall there is some offset adjustment to the pins but I have never needed...
