I’ve got a new slogan for a wood glue “stronger than the wood itself”, gonna trademark and be a millionaire, just you wait…

It’s a council house is a bit of key info missed out really!

If you own what it’s next to, not a boundary. If you don’t, it is. It sounds quite clear in your case

Closed grain most of all Stable is highly useful Dense is nice Hardness, not sure why that’s important

Imagine zig-zagging up a hill instead of going straight up, that’s literally it.

My first decent block plane was a rebate one, for similar reasons I thought it more adaptable. One day I was bringing some inlay down to level and the open edge caught the veneer and wrote off an entire piece. The next block place I bought was a standard low angle one. All the skew does is...

I thought slab was the first cut to flatten a reference plane before plank sawing

I’d say that’s a fair price to slightly high and there’s way more usable material in them as a percentage than nigenry has. Does anyone remember planks of wood, have they gone out of fashion and people only want slabs?

Some useful material there, but not at the overall dimensions. £120-£150 maybe.

Cast brass wood screws… that’d be quite the process

19mm board, you’ll be using 10-12mm of the screw to grip and that’s the pointy bit, in a softwood? I could probably peel that away with my fingers.

For a softwood gate I’d use ring-shank nails, screws are overkill and more visually obtrusive as well as less secure, they won’t break though, the wood will give way long before. If it’s hardwood I’d probably screw and plug.

Ideally, put your wood where the finished piece is going to go

That size is sold many places, like Screwfix etc… gimlet your holes and add wax. If you keep breaking them, you are probably doing it wrong

What a lot of words for the answer… no

Amphenol make what people have already asked for, if you’re doing something new even their catalogue is missing what you need

What accuracy and precision are you people wanting? Seems like something very basic is getting over complicated

Yes, it’s rubbish. Keep an eye on online marketplaces, sometimes people are getting rid of kit for very little

SketchCut Lite

Plugged screws won’t help much. If the break is clean, glue it back together then route a slot down the length, glue a long-grain strip in. The fault is in the design there
