Aligish, Put down that meranti and put the kettle on - Because im just about to save you a fair few hours of machining. So long as it's going to be painted, get yourself a sheet of 18mm Tricoya and router grooves into it, trim to size and bosch it in. Fully waterproof and no expansion. That...

The point is, that if you're trying to recreate VT&G boarding then having the "flat" will actually give it a more genuine appearance regardless. The thought of cutting grooves with a circular saw / table saw Vs using a router and bit are day and night to me. It would take an eternity to skills...

Ok - furniture wax it is. I shall test on the underside first however.... Brilliant thanks! Louis

Here I have installed a maple desk for my office. As demonstrated by my boy. For speed I have coated it with 3 coats of quick dry Rustins top oil (waterbased) Do you think I can apply a final coat of beeswax at the very end a? Just to give it a nice smooth finish. The wax should just sit...

All very very helpful and likely to save my skin! Thanx all!

Haha I was being serious!

Lathams will do you a cut list also but you’ll pay for it

Glue the osb together? Then you have 18mm osb!

Hales in drybrook?

Wouldn’t even look out of place in the FoD, everyone’s nuts

Now that’s just my stone wall fortress protecting my inner city and it’s people

Well yes I can understand the confusion. LBC workshop is based in Leicester. My roll has now for some time been running the business as opposed to working for it. CAD drawings / job sheets, quotations, invoicing, advertising, measure ups, customer communications, wages, stock orders blah blah...

It’s a quick change shaft system. I’ll post some pix when it’s up and running Louis

Well it’s a bit further than Leicester now! We’ve moved to the Forest of Dean for better life with strange Forest people and funny accents
