    Wood for fitted bookshelves

    If it was my project I’d probably use 22mm for the shelves to make them look a bit chunkier and wouldn’t bother with a lipping especially if the span is 500mm as you said. Just give the front visible edge a really good sand down to 240 grit before priming, and then give it another sand between...

    Wood for fitted bookshelves

    mdf is cheaper and paints better. If you use a good mdf primer and topcoat using a foam roller you can get a really nice finish. Apologies if im telling you how to suck eggs here but in terms the shelves meeting the uprights, instead of using a router to cut a channel/dado for the shelf to sit...

    Wood for fitted bookshelves

    If it were me I’d be using mr mdf (I’ve used medite and it’s really good). What sort of span are the shelves going to be? I’d have some sort of back panel screwed into the back of the shelves to avoid sagging, a rebate in the uprights for the shelves to sit in (screwed and glued as well) and a...

    Pocket Hole Screws Advice

    Hi, I’ve just dug this chart out from my kreg pocket hole jig so this should show what length of screw you need. Toolstation is slightly cheaper than Screwfix for the screws. I’m not sure either of them sell the square drive bit you will need though, maybe Amazon on prime delivery if you are...

    What van do I buy?

    Thanks for those recommendations Ollie. I’d never really considered either of those. I wonder what the fuel economy might be like though, 2.4 litre petrol 😊. At least there would be no DPF issues at least!

    What van do I buy?

    I used to have a 1.9 tdi seat, best engine I’ve ever had. Fantastic performance and fuel economy and never broke down once in 15 years. I guess it’s probably the same engine.

    What van do I buy?

    Hi Blister Thanks for that, plenty of room but I’m not sure my neighbours would be happy when I take up 3 parking spaces 😂. Thanks for all the other replies, I hadn’t really considered VW’s just as they always seem expensive but I’ll have a look. Ideally I’d like a Toyota proace (not...

    What van do I buy?

    Morning everyone, I’ve decided I’d like to get a van, a crew cab with 6 seats and preferably long wheel base. As well as for family trips it will also be used for collecting timber and logs for projects, sheets of ply etc. I’m leaning towards a ford transit custom but have heard that the older...

    Buying a used domino df500

    Thanks for all of the detailed feedback everyone, that’s really helpful. And thanks for the hint about the year of manufacture being on the label Peter, I can see it’s a 2013 model so is fairly old but looks like it’s had an easy life - at least from the photos it does!!

    Good spot bingy man but I’m hoping the riving knife offset is just a trick of the camera!!
