We had someone here abouts wanting to date a vice last week, is it to much sun or something?

Knock loads of 6" nails into it, it probably won't stop it splitting but will make you careful with your axe.

Sorry no help at all to the OP but CNC router every time, 10 minute job, oh I do love that machine sometimes.

I would be very surprised if the rails do as they look and go right through the legs without shoulders, it would be a very difficult thing to do neatly and would take almost all the strength from the legs, instead I think the rails would be mortise and tenons as per normal with decorative ends...

If I'm on route I have this on my desk you can have , I think it's an old valve /tappet link thingy from a F1 engine encapsulated in a plastic block.

For what it's worth, the problem with salt is in small quantities it's also a soil conditioner and makes things grow better!

Boxed heart just means that it has been cut around the centre of the tree in a balanced way, in practice the saw Mill has cut off the good clear outer wood to produce good grade boards and left the early growth with all its knots to be used as construction timber.

Not so hot on softwoods but would hazard to say Douglas fir with a nice creosote finish ie sleeper.

Yep that's Sapele, crown cut you get the stripe when quarter cut.

By all means make a table the size of your garden but why? As has already been said all you need is four trestles or saw horses one in each corner then when you've done put them in your shed. .

Looks very neat and tidy Scott.

If it helps I have a load of dexian angle that I used to make a timber rack to sell, seems only right somehow. LOL.

30 boards a week is the best part of a pallet, for those amounts i would investigate having your supplier cut it up on a beam saw, it should be able to cut 5 or 6 sheets at a time very accurately and cleanly restack them back onto the pallet and deliver to you ready to use, spend your money on a...

I've no experience with Axminster but I think the delivery driver will have a pump truck so if you are ready with the planks you would be fine. Ask them about it before you order.

Just swipe the edges with a sharp plane and then a hot iron I find there's no need for the edging, the heat and pressure on it's own seals the mdf

Have you tried Wealdens maybe in the cnc section.

Yes you can use under mount soft close runners such as Blum or Grass but you really need a 1.5 / 2mm gap all round your draw as they tend to be quite bouncy in use, and they do take up quite a lot of space under the draw. .

Is there any sign as to where that loose bolt fits? Also I have difficulty in seeing how this could be held for use, so feel it's part of something automatic, operating in a trap or case of emergency release cutting a cord or strap, but it's also quite decorative so it's been made to be seen...

Thank you Custard that's very much the way I see it too, and by the time fashion changes and mahogany comes back in the market will be flooded with plantation grown timber.

That's a very kind offer Adidat, but I couldn't possibly put you to such trouble.
