I'm really bad at getting a neat finish on silicone when I'm sealing something up onto brickwork/stone like windows and door frames. I'm also really bad to get stuck in working and forget to clean up as I'm going along, before I know it in surrounded by crap and it takes twice as long to clear...

Put a pic up of the damage mate it'll help a lot. You could probably fill it with silicone sealant and smooth if off. It'll look a lot better but still be visible

Either try an sds drill or first it's worth trying the blue bosch multi construction drill bits in a normal drill. They're loads better than cheap bits. Also worth starting with a small bit before the bigger one to make your life easier.

Looks like the timber is wet? Extraction And sharp knives makes a massive difference to the finish.

Good idea! I'll try that!

Haha! Actually no I'm not, yet! :lol:

I know it's down to personal taste nut I prefer the stairs without the roses. You've done a cracking job of the stairs but with the roses I feel it takes away from the cleaness of it all. If you like them though that's what matters :D

I've got a boxer dog and he hated me doing his with snips, bought a wahl pet nail grinder, first time I used it on him he fell asleep as I was doing it :lol: I use mine without the guard though it seems easier.

Nice job! Bet the cat sits on top of it though 8) :lol:

Thanks for explaining it, it makes more sense now. I suppose what ever floats your boat :D .

I don't get it.

What is it?

Plinth clips are rubbish at the best of times. I normally use clips in the middle of a run of cabinets and then these at the ends... https://www.toolstation.com/plinth-lock ... pNEALw_wcB They work really well and stop you getting gaps in the plinth too.

What about a long cabin hook off the wall?

Could you put some kind of trim around the front and stain it to match the cabinet? assuming the worst damage is on that front edge? Something like an l shaped trim?

Any bulb.

If it keeps happening, unplug everything and plug it all back in one at a time. It's likely something that's plugged in that's at fault rather than your house electrics, assuming they're not donkeys years old.

While on the subject of grinding wheels, what's the best stoen to get for rough sharpening chisels? Are the pink ones best?

Glad I could be of help. Good luck!

I'd split it into two doors, if you want it simple two flat slabs of mdf for the doors will be fine, 3 hinges of each will be ample. I'd make the shelving out of 2x1 battens.
