    MDF Wardrobes

    These are custom build non-standard sizes, the unfinished part is to reduce cost. But I understand your point. It would be nice to consider buying pre-finished plywood, I am currently researching this, melamine faced. https://www.spp.co.uk/melamine-plywood

    MDF Wardrobes

    Materials for these cost about £150 ish, I recently priced up to make one two door and a single door wardrobes, just the materials worked out at £250, so you did get a good price. With Labour and workshop costs both units worked out at £650 build supply and fit.

    My next project

    Having a full size workbench is a luxury in a small workshop, I generally cut up board material outside first, using some portable plastic trestles. They work ok but I need something more substantial. I started to consider a design in my head that would not take up much room fold down and be on...

    Yes, leaf drop come autumn is an issue, fortunately my neighbour who has a fully mature sycamore tree has had it cut back this year, although I would have preferred it cut right back to the ground :ROFLMAO: I take what I can get.

    Hello from the West Midlands

    Welcome, and remember we all started somewhere, as an old joiner friend once said, you only ever see the good work, if you look under my bench you will see all the failed attempts. Keep it simple, and practice I am sure you will do fine.

    Current shed project

    You have certainly put a lot of thought into your carport and shed. Squeezing the shed in at the back, very efficient use of space. My only thoughts is with putting timber posts in the ground, even treated they will rot eventually, so the choice is concrete pad with treaded bar nut large washer...

    Thoughts on this furniture repair

    What a mess they made of that repair, looks like they gave it to the wood butcher. Clearly a specialists job, should look great once done correctly

    Garage Project

    I replaced the doors 3 years ago not long after we moved into our new home, as the up and over was more like a guillotine than a door. Last year I managed to pain out the area just temp for now. The garage workshop needs a new roof so I will insulate it, board the walls, level and create a...
