Hi Mark, I did exactly the same with two built in cupboards in a bedroom, stripped off the architrave and used lining paper over the join and it has work fine if a bit vulnerable to wear and tear. The doors like yours did not fit flush to the bare frame so I remade them, hollow doors with 6mm...

Looks like an aluminium Billy can to me, we used them to cook in over the camp fire while in the scouts.

I think it is something to do with signing a loan agreement probably using the property as security would need both owners agreement.

Fantastic film, every morning going to work (workshop is on an old WW11 bomber air field) as I drive round what was part of the perimeter taxi way past the end of the main runway I can't but help thinking of the men and machines that left from here at all hours and in all weathers not knowing if...

No, no not that sort! With all the sensible knowledgeable and worldly experienced people, willing to share and get on in harmony for the benefit of others in the general search for perfection that exist on this forum I definitely think this is the best and most qualified group of people that I...

Why not ply for a worktop? it's going to have a plastic laminate on it any way isn't it, and it's not exactly an heavy industrial kitchen your building.

Do I dare sugugest that this thread has a name change, this is not Steve's shed it's clearly Ray's shed. Sorry workshop.

Ripples in cheep ply and uneven glue spreading will show through the laminate especially with plain colours or shiny finishes.

Then swear and cuss and start again with another sheet!

Best to do both sides as well.

I call my thicknesser the mangle that's what it does, especially if you get a sleeve caught.

=D> Bingo! It's the bit left after they have sliced off as much as they could, the marks along the edges are where it was held for cutting, they then use these bits for making pallets for shipping the veneer on.

No your not listening, it's not a product or part of anything, it was tossed out, no good, no further use, it then became just packaging for the manufacturers product! come on you must get it now.

I may be way out but I think it is a set of extrusion heads for making plastic netting, if I'm right you would use two of the large discs rotating in opposite directions extruding a plastic thread out of each nozzle forming a net tube that would then be stretched to size. Well it's my notion...

Looks like your all stumped? Well new clue:- the two edges are sawn with saw marks still there but it's not parallel, the two faces are NOT sawn NOR planed but smooth. although it is now not straight (due to uncontrolled drying) it would have been beautifully flat and straight as a die with...

Time for a Coffee break clue, I think I may have mislead you a bit by saying it's not an off cut, by this you have to read it wasn't cut off anything! Keep thinking.

It's very much to do with furniture and cabinet making, how's that for a clue?

I think I'd be safe in saying technically not an off cut and definitely not construction although that title is sometimes used to describe the product.

That's just wishfull thinking, no. :D

Definitely, either steam but more likely boiling!
