As Dave said the veneers are from capital crispin in London very good quality of veneers and service. The curved one is finished but are waiting for some tiling and blinds to be fitted before I can get bak to photograph it. Cheers Jon

Yes toilet roll is purely for emergencies Cheers Jon

Been doing some small jobs this week to get caught up a bit. This is going to be a panel for a WC and cupboard for a cloakroom. Veneers have been prepared to about 100mm wide and the veneers chosen from a few different places from the pack so that the panel looks more like solid walnut pieces...

I fitted the Island unit a few weeks ago but have to wait until the blinds have been fitted before getting some photographs done. This is the unit in the workshop Been making a drawer liner for the island unit this week in maple as it was thought this would wear better than walnut and...

I would just buy a sheet of 18mm ply Cheers Jon

Had a good day out and was good to meet up with folks and thanks to Doug for driving. Just to prove Paul was there Cheers Jon

The 8mm will bend quite tight I would think about 100mm radius or so Cheers Jon

Hi yes I have used a fair bit of it mainly for curved doors and furniture. I imagine the 8mm stuff will be fine once glued into the rims. You might have to create a half lap where the ends meet and glue it together. Another option would be to laminate 2 bits of 3mm together and glue them...

Looking good. This may help In the future if you make more of them it's a plywood which is bendy and will bend easily into that shape with no kerfing or having no end of filling and sanding to do http://www.lathamtimber.co.uk/ProductDetail.418.html Cheers Jon

I just hang mine on the wall . These were made with 4mm bolts so you can hang the profiles on them theres enough room for the cutters and limiters The blocks hang on adjustable plastic feet screwed onto the wall Cheers Jon

Hi Tim the mortar groove is the one I use either a trend or a Wealden one. The Wealden one is just as good as the trend but cheaper. Kreg do a wider one seen here as a system but dont know if it's available here yet http://www.kregtool.com/Precision-Beade ... dview.html Cheers Jon

Seems cheap but the guns are nearly £200 Cheers Jon

Yes it's always a bit nerve wrecking doing it. My procedure for doing it was to get the shape close with the jigsaw about 2-3mm from the line . Cut forwards on the curve bit that's going with the grain and carefully climb cut the edges and curve that's against the grain then a full sweep round...

The top glued up fine and first job today was to shape it Brand new 63mm trimmer in the router The edges are trimmed to the template After much sanding it was heaved up to the spraybooth upstairs which was quite an effort. Is been sprayed with a 30% sheen 2pack Lacquer Its probably a...

The dry run was perfect so hopefully the finished thing will be ok it's still cramped up in the workshop at the moment. Regards the weight it's heavy ish but I'll make sure I have my weetabix Only reason Paul is that I generally use uf for making up panels and ive never had a problem and...

Thanks for the comments :D So on with the top Some expensive 3inch walnut The top is going to end up at 60mm thick so I decided to do the top glue up in 2 hits firstly the stock was joined into smaller sections the thickness at the moment is 65mm These sections are then resurfaced and...

Cheers guys They only needed a light tap :D I don't actually know what it's doing there the doors are assembled using a counterbored screw as its pretty much impossible to clamp them up without a lot of jigging about. Cheers Jon

There's loads of new ones on eBay for around £6 ish Cheers Jon

So onto the curved doors mostly in the past we have made shaker doors but these ones have a mould so a bit more tricky. First job was to make the former for the curved panels about 30 pieces of 25mm mdf were cut to the same size and some 10mm holes were put in using a router and guide bush...
