I got finished late tonight due to being out on a job fitting some doors. I couldn't believe how long it has taken me to fit 6 doors, 10 hours! :o The doors were all veneered oak B & poo specials. I also had to change the position of the catches as the original doors were too low for the...

Yes, I have been thinking of doing something like that for a while Brian. I think I have two e-mail addresses with my web provider so shall gradually change things running both until it's done. :wink:

I have been lipping the MDF today using solid wood. I am lipping the edges with 10mm strips apart from the top, bottom and shelf which will overhang and have a detail routed on the edges.

My boards finally arrived and I made a start on the carcass. Heaven praise the Domino. :lol:

Beautiful work as usual Bob. I do like the idea of no handles too. :D

I didn't know that, I shall look into it, thanks.

Yes pretty sure. Joints are all pegged M&T's. I have built quite a few of these over the years and not had a problem with them so far. As i stated in my earlier post one set lasted for 10 years without any treatment! I am sure my customers are getting a good service as I still get repeat work...

Sorry guys, been busy with drawing plans again. Yes Mr Wilson's correct they are for mounting the hinges.

Yes, but I bet they didn't get ripped off on prices when they changed like we did over here! :cry:

I know the feeling well. Last year I fed the end of my finger into the planer and luckily got away with just a cut on the end. Glad to see you had the same escape could have been a lot worse.

I made a start on my next job today an oak TV cabinet. Most of the carcass will be veneered MDF as usual. I am waiting for a delivery of more boards but had almost enough materials to make a start on the front. Using Bob's system I made the shaker panels and drawer front. As you can see I ran...

I just use a cheap decking oil from Screwfix. It is a thin solvent based oil which seeps in to the wood and leaves an oily residue on the surface. It does seem to work quite well.

Yup softwood, I have built quite a few softwood gates in the past. They have a clear finish on them which I apply during the build. I give the customer the option of softwood or hard but it is down to cost for most of them hence the softwood ones. Having said that, one set I built lasted ten...

I haven't posted much recently due to being busy in the shop. So I thought I would just post some pics of what I have been doing of late. First up is another set of gates in softwood. Then a bit of arts and crafts work: This one is for the summer house I built last year. In between those two...

Yes, I was glued to the TV and really enjoyed it. I do hope he gets the chance to ride it from Goa to Grimsby and it is televised, should be some fun. :D

Had me in stitches, brilliant! :lol:

I couldn't agree more, TV is rubbish. What about Gogglebox! who the hell want's to watch someone watching TV?! :o I am convinced that all of the TV companies share the same programs for a minimal cost and just swap them from one channel to another all for a budget of about £100! I guess the...

I have used these for wardrobe doors in the past and found them very good. http://www.ironmongerydirect.co.uk/prod ... tem/651627 They are pretty slim too. These are bottom rolling systems but very good quality. HTH. :wink:

Well it's a good job you have completed most of the workshop build Steve otherwise they would think you are Superman. :lol:

where have I gone wrong then? I have Virgin TV the basic package, 20mb broadband and the home phone and I pay £59 pm! I have been a customer since it was Diamond cable years ago! I don't have a tivo box or anything fancy and in fact don't even use the TV box as I watch everything on Freeview. I...
