Really nice piece Great job

had lots of small offcuts from other projects sitting in a box, so decided to do something with them, and came up with these 3 panels. Now hung on the wall in my home office. Walnut float frame, with Walnut, Oak, Mahogany and Beech offcuts in the panels.

Thanks Peter. I’ll revisit my designs to take into account the revised rail and stile thickness and give it another go. Thanks again Rich

Ok thanks - 25mm it is, 6mm also seems scarce in MR form - will 6mm regular MDF be OK for the centre panels? Will do the math for the hinges, thanks - will the regular blum be OK with that thickness door? Just thinking about the cabinets - they will be 1664 high x 1000 wide x 540 deep, I was...

Cor, who would have thought 22mm mr Mdf is difficult to find in these parts :( I’m in Stoke on Trent, all I can seem to find is 18mm and 25mm at local timber yards

Thanks Peter, so, 22mm it is then, 120mm base rail and 80mm mid and top rail. I’m sure I remember you saying on a video that the std 110 degree Blum hinges 71b3550 work ok with 22mm with some adjustment to the spacing of them 4 hinges per door or 3 be ok?

Thanks, yes I’ve been looking at peters videos. Using 18mm MR Mdf will I be ok with 70mm rails/styles based on 1620mm high doors with a rail in the middle?

Hi, yes. The ply has been cut into 70mm strips which I was then going to cut to length to make the rails and styles. It was from a Timber yard I was doing 2 panels for each door, so a top middle and bottom rail with 2 6mm panels. So redwood is the one to go for then? I priced the poplar up...

Looking to make some 1620mm x 500mm shaker doors for some cabinets I’m making at the end of my garage. I need to make 6 doors in total. I bought a sheet of 18mm hardwood ply, and had it cut to 70mm strips so I could then cut this down for the parts It’s warped to high heaven after being cut...

Thanks - its my first time doing anything like this and new to doing stuff this way - I had a good read up and watched many you tube videos of people making boards using solid timber, many of them end grain for the surface, but some of the face grain. I did add splines to the mitres too (forgot...

Had a go at a chess board and quite pleased with the outcome Had some oak and mahogany so used that - first glue up Then crosscut on table saw with sled to make the squares Planed flat using router with a surfacing bit in a jig (no planer yet - next purchase I think!) Groove cut in...

Current have a nilfisk 2621, and hooked up to the table saw, the hose outlet is reduced so much where the handheld attachments connect that it’s struggling to get everything out of the saw. Initially I hoped to just get a replacement hose with a wider end to hook up to the table saw, but then...

I’ve just bought the Bosch gts10j. Got it from ffx when eBay had a 20 percent off day, so was a real bargain. I got it specifically because I’m also in a space that i need to be able to pack it up, and the saw can be stored on its side, which I don’t believe the DeWalt can.

New comer to the site, i don't have the luxury of a dedicated workshop, so have to use the garage which is shared with our second car - so everything gets stored away, and i have to drag the car out to make space to work. Anyway, I'm not an experienced woodworker by any means, but love to have...
