Folks I’m building a cupboard to go against the slopes ceiling in my chalet bungalow. 18mm material. I have settled on some dimensions but can’t work out the knock on sizes. Drawing is a cross section from front to back. Angles are 45 degrees. Can anyone tell me what the distances are A-D...

Bob I feel your pain. I had to make the same decision 2 years ago to the lad in my profile pic. Its painful for a long time. I just try and remember the good times we had. Best wishes Mark

I need to buy a laminate kitchen worktop for a semi temporary/medium term solution . I'm after the chipboard type with plastic laminate on the top and front edge. Needs to be at least 3.6 m long. I would like 650mm wide if that exists but if not 600 will do. Looking for an oak effect. What...

Bob Looks like a really superb job. As an avid amateur who would like to build his own (simpler) built in wardrobe can I ask how thick the backs are to your carcasses and also the front to back depth of them. Many thanks Mark

Thanks for the replies guys, both very useful Mark

Hi all Does any one have any experience of using Probox to make solid wood dovetail drawers? Wondering what the service and quality are like. Also any other similar company, Drawer Solutions Ltd seem to be no longer trading and I'm not aware of any other similar companies. Cheers Mark

Here's my version, built when the cyclones were hard to come by, much cheaper now I believe. Still going strong and was in use today. topic74625.html?forum_uri=dust-mite-and-systainer-drop-box&hilit=dust%20mite Mark

So I rang trend. The guy in technical said he had fixed this before with contact adhesive. I had discounted this and epoxy both for being too thick and was previously thinking of something like superglue. I have some contact adhesive already (so no you're not the only one Mike), my other...

Evening The phenolic (or at least I think phenolic) base fell off the bottom of my router today, 15ish year old trend t5 Any idea on best glue to stick it back to the metal base? Doesn’t slide well without it Cheers Mark

Just been to restack a couple of log piles that blew over last week. In one I’ve found a few pieces that look like they’re getting eaten by something. At first I thought something was nawing on the bark but there are also some small holes. I have got it on about 10 logs as far as I can see...

Thanks everyone Mark

Any idea what this insect is? About 20mm long any pale green in the flesh. Got quite a few of them indoors. House is a building site at the mo so lots of places for them to get in. Mrs bear is concerned they may be the carpet or clothing eating type so am keen to identify Cheers Mark

My next question is then how much gripfill/alternative. I'm thinking a horizontal line every 4 to 6 inches, then a few pins driven in until it goes off. Does that sound about right? Mark

Yes these are not full height they go to dado height. There's no pipe runs to box out and hide so straight on the wall it is then. Which is good to know is ok as this is quite a small WC so not losing any width is good. Many thanks. Mark

I'm talking this stuff to simulate tongue and groove boards http://www.championtimber.com/sheet-mat ... fsc-mix-70 All the major supplier near me seem to only stock 9mm, so I guess thats what I'll use. It helps anyway as its going in quite a small wc. My question is how best to fix to the...

sounds like triggers broom mike Mark

I agree with the others who say to leave them bare. Ihave a green oak extension on my house and definitely wont be oiling them. I just accept it looks different to other bits of oak in my house like the doors and window boards which need protection . I have found green frog (which is for bare...

Anyone got any knowledge of the best way to reduce sound between my ground and first floor? I see there are a whole host of rockwool type products out there, anyone recommend whats best and how to install. Are they any good? I have access to the voids between the joists at the moment until I...
