We make a lot of windows and have gradually worked our way through a lot of timber options and gradually cast each one aside due to various annoyances. Best stuff we used was either woodex laminated FJ softwood, woodex eucalyptus (hardwood) or Accoya. Everything else was simply crap or too...

Not on a tricoya panel you wouldn’t. And if you would then your not using my plane :P it’s a resounding no, I get it. Big hole in ply it is (hammer)

Nyers I was considering this. If over the top is a no go - and it seems like it is, then this is the next least tedious task :lol:

an experienced one..... so i binned it and got a spindle moulder... :lol: ,,,its just that the spindle moulder is currently set up for another task :roll:

Same, Just cut the brace to the correct shape by eye, trace onto the ledge and ferrrrtle it out

Everywhere online is saying it must be used in a router table. Has anyone used one over the top though. Only got two panels to router. I understand the dangers but is it an absolute no go? Router bits look to be around 75mm in diameter so a nice slow speed and steady hand I guess?

having now done my sketch setting out, my ratio calculation falls at 669 and my pitch is bang on 42 degrees so I think im good to go.

Just been this morning to measure up. The floor to floor rise is 2580mm I calc the rise to be 215mm, Tread (minus the overhang) to be 239mm)

900 is wide, its what the current staircase is. I may try and sneak it down to 800mm wide just to save a bit of weight... Thank you very much for the input. That has almost answered all of my queries. My usual George Ellis source was starting to make my head spin and was becoming, in true Ellis...

Thanks for the input, a great help. There's no issue with me making 25mm treads, I just wanted it to not look standard or off the shelf as usual. It is a trenched staircase in Oak 275/300mm x 32mm stringers approx 900mm wide

Hello gents (and possibly ladies), Got a straight flight of oak stairs to build soon and looking for some pointers as i haven't set a staircase out before. I know the rise is 2600mm and the available Going is no issue. I'm basically trying to work out if there are upper and lower limits to...

Ironmongery direct usually have what one desires

Or just sod it all off and use square edge timber worktops. BOSH!!

Horticultural glass is what I have always known it as also

As someone who works professionally as opposed to hobby, I can’t really fault Lathams. Their response and delivery speeds are exceptional IMO and this value (as a pro) far exceeds the price difference.

Without even reading any replies..... I vote yes, include trickle vents

As others have said. Producing your own bifold doors is nothing but a PITA. We stopped doing them last year after multiple call backs to a set of oak ones we made. Constant shrinking and expanding. Never again. Get aluminium.

I thought they had stopped all the nonsense full window Uvalue and normal glass rating was enough. I also do a lot of windows for old buildings and when a some fresh out of college jobsworth starts whimpering about things like that I tell them to stop being so ridiculous and go hassle Jelsons :D

Wait - did you just say 7k and you only need 5 sheets..? Whhaaaaaatt?

Yes. It’s just like MDF. It does what it says it will do.
