Hey guys, First time cabinet maker here so please be gentle.. I've brought some concealed Hettich soft close Sensys hinges and want to fit them on a full overlay door. My wood is 19mm thick and 123mm tall, but i've got so many questions: How do I know how far to drill the 35mm hole from the...

Hey guys, I'm making a lot of chopping boards, to the point now where it's starting to get impractical putting each piece through a table saw. I'm aware of a beam saw but obviously that's crazy expensive. What processes are available to use to batch cut hardwood? Thank you!

Thank you! Would you mind sending a link please, I checked all those and didn’t see anything apart from sheets. Do you think I would get a better result if I spray stained the stain, or would the result be the same? Spraying would be with HVLP gun

Thanks so much for your detailed reply, I want to report back with the following: So the first two I did were 120 ROS and then finished off with 180 by hand (couldn’t find 180 sandpaper discs) the result wasn’t great, very blotchy and uneven finish. The next 3 we’re 120 ROS, 180 by hand and...

Hey guys, I’m making my first cupboard and it’s ready to stain now, but I’m really confused as to sanding the oak veneer before staining. Some say use 120 and then 240, some say don’t sand it at all? if I do sand it shall I go by hand, orbital, random, does it matter? would really appreciate...

Will definitely paint it/stain it (not sure which term to use) and I will be going to a workshop where they have everything including the mitre saw so i'll be using that where I can. I did think about MDF but I wanted a nice wood grain look to it.

Thanks very much Pete that makes sense, lastly, what would be my best options of wood to create something like this, what do the big companies use?

Thanks for the tips, invaluable advice which i'll definitely be implementing.

Hey, Thanks for posting, I really want to go down the router route for the sake of learning how to use the tool, but i'm confused as to which particular router bit I would use for the simple beading cut I need to make in the image above, all the router bits i've seen cut in two places which I...

Thanks so much for replying, question, at what stage would i bead the edges? I'm before I put all the panels in right?

Thanks so much for your reply! So i'm all loaded up on the best Makita's impact driver, combi drill, circular saw, the usual. My first project is actually a workbench, and i'm making it fancier and stronger than it needs to be, as a means to be able to learn some of the more complex joining...

Hey guys, Relatively new to wood working so please excuse the elementary nature of the question. Looking to make this shoe cupboard, But I can't figure out a) How they got those outwood parts of the wood to protrude, what tool was used? Secondly, how does one make that invisible joint with...
