    Walk-in wardrobe

    Think I've found a few like you're referring to. Didn't even know this part existed, very interesting. I'm thinking as I'm just slotting in 9mm MDF sheets for the "panel" part of the doors I only need a profile cutter (and not a scribe cutter) but one where the groove matches the 9mm MDF...

    Basic router questions

    Not sure I'm picturing the issue/resolution but suspect because I've got zero experience with router tables. Are you saying the shims are used to shift the outfeed fence towards the bit by a mm to account for what it removes from the piece (i.e. keeping it level with the infeed)?

    Ha...the great adage "measure twice.." etc. Went back to check my measurements and I had taken the depth from where the wall light bracket is on the wall.... but I should have taken it from outside edge of lamp shade... I have 1060mm max depth to play with. Think as discussed will look at a...

    Basic router questions

    Sounds like a beast of a machine! With arthritis in my knee I know exactly what you mean, I couldn't walk for a week after laying herringbone in the bedroom last month. Getting old is fun!

    Basic router questions

    This will be todays fun. Will try the table saw and also a very very DIY basic router table. Starting the day with 10 fingers but will see how it goes!

    Moulding and cutting in one set sounds great. Not sure if it's my phone playing up but I can't click on your product link. 6mm definitely seems popular, I've just opted for 9mm in this instance due to the full height of the doors but definitely cabinets etc will all be in 6mm👍

    Basic router questions

    I've got the 1/4” DeWalt palm router and successfully made grooves in the stiles/rails for a shaker panel door but felt free hand there was both safety and accuracy elements at play. I'm going to try another mock up today but this time using the table saw for the grooves. If that works then my...

    Walk-in wardrobe

    Ah that's good to know as think it would look better that way rather than chunky wide panels on each end. I'm fairly new to Hafele brand but liking them too. Use Hafele levelling feet for the plinths, then once level add a few 18mm blocks pocket hole screw into floor, and horizontal screw into...

    Basic router questions

    It's definitely taken a few design tips from Fisher Price but I suspect very intentional, for the amateur/DIYer the router table seems to come with a bit of trepidation so I do understand trying to make it look more welcoming (plus the ABS plastic will certainly keep the costs down). Thank you...

    Walk-in wardrobe

    Looking for some advice here .... I am building wardrobes on either side of a fireplace. The left hand unit will be fairly close to a bedside light, 1105mm from the wall at the back of the wardrobe to be precise. The alcove widths are 1170mm (LHS) and 1125mm (RHS). If I was to make the...

    Basic router questions

    Thanks both. I rarely do the "buy cheap" option, in fact with tools I did that with a plunge saw and ended up paying up for a decent one within 12 months so definitely get the merit of getting something that does the job. However with a full DIY renovation, my tool arsenal is rather substantial...

    Basic router questions

    Hello I am starting to do more work with the router and am making my way through a "Woodworking with the Router" book by Bill Hylton. I've got a DeWalt palm router which is absolutely fine (and useful) but I've decided to purchase a table top router. I only do carpentry for myself, part of a...

    Walk-in wardrobe

    Whilst I wait for wood delivery to make the next carcases thought I'd have a crack at making my first door (using a very helpful video from Peter Millard) Very easy overall although cutting the grooves with freeheld palm router + clamp didn't feel great. Can really see benefit of a router table...

    Goodies have arrived and I know I've hit core middle aged dad territory when I'm genuinely excited about a dust extractor and anti vibration gloves

    Walk-in wardrobe

    Forgot to add these pics earlier of the little gadget for the dressing room. It's a wireless charger but when the Mrs needs to plug in hairdryer etc it's got multiple sockets plus 2x USB ports. An upgrade from watching her bang her head a 100 times reaching under the table to plug/unplug...

    Walk-in wardrobe

    I'm thinking if I go down the redwood instead of MDF route, I can place a butt hinge like below which would theoretically act as an auto stop as well?

    Walk-in wardrobe

    I was being daft on the router...I just kept thinking of the biscuit router bit I have and thinking how on earth would I turn that to hit the floor...but obviously for the floor cut I would just be using a straight bit the width of the biscuit etc Given I will be ordering more 20mm redwood for...
