I use the paper abrasive belts sold for use on big pad sanding machines, its the most rigid paper backed sandpaper i have found and it doesnt work out very expensive... I should add i use this mainly for removing sharp edges....

I bought two packs of four t-bar clamps from rutlands when they introduced them, ther were £60 for four. quality is good. some of them have a slight sideways bend in them...... to make them better. i had to replace the chains with some heavier guage to tether the pins (kept falling off) and also...

ive seen MDF skirting mitred on the internals very effectively....still looking good 5 years on. I think scribing is only necessary on timber boards, or areas/substrates subject to movement.

It looks like whitewood, i take it that its inside!

i left school halfway through my alevels as i found a apprenticeship at a local joinery firm went straight there, didnt even think twice. i now know of 2 young guys hoping to find the same thing. And have helped another get an apprenticeship with a friend this year. so there seems to be some...

cheers lads, Asked for a quote and not heard anything back yet :) very unusual skirting, and quite simple compared to some ive been brought.. 3 rebates and a stepped roundover. :D Phil, it didnt smell like douglas fir when we cut it, and the grain is very sappy (for want of a better word)

Hi Guys and gals, Need to source some timber to match sone existing skirting boards, anybody help me out? My guess is pitch pine, but being a youngun, have never worked with or physically handled any myself. Olly.

The goldscrews from screwfix do snap at the heads, the goldscrew plus are alot better! But they do leave alot of metal depost in the hole should you unscrew them. I have used allsorts and get on well with wurth wupo fast they dont snap as easily as they have a soft core. So decent driver bit...

Accoya is radiata pine, a real wood. Still takes on free water and will discolour exatctly the same as any other timber. Try it and find out. Its very appealing to me. Only downside is the acidity level is near the level of oak so stainless fixings/ ironmongery and a stain blocking primer...

What finish is on the table mailee? Looks great overall. However dont think i woulld have the grooves in the top for practicality reasons. Might be firing you a pm re ac spraying soon if thats ok?

if i have time to leave the piece overnight i usually smear peanut butter on the sections i need removing upto the lines and then leave on the workshop floor, when i come back in the morning the tenon is made.... think it might beand agressive rat problem but i honestly couldnt say. why is...

Why not use butyl tape? The black look is smart compared to clear silicone once its cone a little bit grubby. Plus butyl tape is the proper way to do it. Look at hodgson sealants methods in their technical library. B5 iirc.

How did you guys get on? Hoping to pop along tomorrow.

I Just today had a meeting with Mike Lewis from accys regarding accoya, he is a technical support manager and ex joinery, very enthusiastic about timber/joinery and a joy to share an hour with going over the timber properties, workablity and advantages. left me with a few samples and a lot of...

Is that already pn the website prices automatically? I Might aswell get a domino now!

Surely hanging one door off the other will not solve the problem of having a full door open into the room when you open both? unless it can fold around the wall or something?

That lot adds up to roughly .62 of a cubic metre. if you take the cut list as finish sizes, so roughly, £600 inc VAT, obviously there will be a fair bit of waste with some of the sizes you require so i would expect to get that lot as ex timber for roughly £670. Are they finished sizes, and do...

I personally would use a rollerball catch in the top of each door, pita to open a bolt each time, especiallly if its a flick over flush bolt. And unless you have one top and bottom having a latch into a door only secured at the top will be a little wobbly.

cant see a problem with the thin top, could use thicker section for breadboard ends and edges to appear thicker than it is? then brace well underneath.

i have just done this using 4-6-4 units on a 44mm sash. i rebated out to 14x28 and used a 12mm bead set in with soveriegn silacryl (an acrylic sealant) then used vhb tape and bonded on timber sections with matching mould to make the gb. customer couldnt tell the difference apart from the spacer...
