Any carpet fitter or carpet shop will gift you a small piece like that

Thanks, it‘s been too hot to work outside yesterday and today, so made the last seven drawers and fitted them in the shelved units on the left. The angled one was a bit trickier to work out, but finally got it. The drawer fronts for these are also made, just waiting for the varnish to dry so I...

I too have been using a lot of 8x4 sheet ply and do the initial rips on the workbench with the t55 track saw. After which they are manageable on the table saw. If you don’t have a table saw, you Have little option of making repeatable cuts. When I was constructing the fifty drawers, I would lay...

Hang in there Mike, :D they’re planned for above the drawer storage for lengths of timber stock and a sheet material rack to the right of the lathe. Under the lathe will be a rack for turning blanks. I’ve ‘acquired’ a good few 12” discs of exotics for turning along with some square stock...

Thanks, it’s been a bit longer than I had planned in making them, but it looks half decent and will give an enormous storage capacity, so all in all worth the extra effort.

Going to be a guessing game for a while I think. :?

Well, Thursday was wet again :( so I had the opportunity to finish the right side :D Coming together nicely.

800mm drawers made and fitted along with a keyboard slide out shelf for the CNC, and then on to the drawer fronts, Twelve more fronts already made and ready to fit on the next wet day. Unfortunately, garden takes precedence for another week or two and I can only get work detail signed off if...

Excellent work digging out that lot. Why are you raising the rafters? Looks like you have loads of headroom already. Just curious.

Except it has been revived by a person with the same problem as the OP. Kinda saves going through all the same advice again.

Time to weld the head of a hex head bolt to what is left and take it off that way.

Then sauté for five minutes a side till crispy?

35 and counting! 800mm ones and seven on the left side to do

:D :D Yes, but even ‘stuff’ like finishes, abrasives, all hand tools, tool accessories (they go walking for a past time, spare blades, special size Allen keys etc ) will be suuuper organised. Probably find half will be empty and I’ve gone way over the top, but at least everything will have a...

Still slogging away with the drawers. Now up to twenty three fitted and working well. Twelve more kits made Assembled ready for sanding and fitting tomorrow.

I am now into fitting my 50 drawer setup. The first forty four have three quarter extension runners, the last six have full extension (they ran out of the 3/4). The cost was £1.80 for 500mm 3/4 and £5.90 for the full. I just didn’t want to run the extra £200 on the runners. The 3/4 ones do hide...

That would explain how they nailed through a hole and had a suitable nail, I could only get within 5mm of accurate, sometimes 10mm using the Paslode.

The first ones were Stanley from B&M on special, when they wore out (and B&M had sold out) I bought 10 pairs of these from Toolstation Not quite as robust as the Stanley, but still very good and I use them for anything rough and ready construction wise.

Thanks, condition of my workshop was an extended width full length patio. I was never going to get away with it not happening. The patio is done, back to the workshop soon, after building the planters :( . Bit of a hicup with the door, I forgot to add glazing bars to the timber order, so...

Rained off for the patio and garden walling project :) , so another eight drawers assembled for the first four cabinets. :) Struggled to keep a straight face when apologising for delaying Mrs S’s project. Did manage a third of the work but I think the garden looking like a building site is...
