I used loft flooring, been ok so far. I did see something on tv the other day that used simple chipboard in a kitchen/extension and was painted in two pack garage floor paint. So could use a two pack epoxy paint, maybe more durable. Or, simple cheap laminate. As long as dry, won't be an...

This is great to see, people getting together as a result of this forum. That's very kind of Bob to take the time out. Great dog too.

I have used the Axi ones recently, and though okay, they are not that deep when you consider the DX5000 hangs on a wall usually. In the past I have bought bags from CRM Saw in Waterlooville, they were cheap and long. You could try Sawtec in Southampton, as think CRM was bought by them. I...

Don't you need a special kind of mask? It sounds high risk, and is the fan spark proof? Last thing you want is a the back of your garage blown out and you with no eyebrows, or worse...

Good to see this thread up, I am just in the process of finishing my kitchen. So far, I have used oak faced MDF for the bases, finished with Rustins, that painted sides, with dulux diamond. It's holding up well, apart from a mark under the sink from a fabric softener bottle. Even the pots and...

@ Roger, I completely agree with you. Don't get me wrong, I would love the time to develop the kind of skill that many past craftsman demonstrated. I trained as a Chartered Accountant though, so nothing practical related and many of us that are not in this for money want be to be able to get...

I am not sure if you have seen the Incra stuff, but worth checking out. I invested 7-8 years ago in the 45 quid plate from Rutlands, it was never quite perfect and being new to woodworking I kinda thought "oh well, that will be okay". I then had some more recent issues with the plate and my...

This is a great post, lovely to see the time and care to plan the piece but also take the time out to post on here. I wouldn't fancy trying to get this on a camel or a ship, as I thought campaign furniture was able to go in a case etc to be transported.

How about some toughened glass? On the bottom of a unit, sealed, with epoxy at the edges. Maybe even glass for the internal shelves? By PU, do you mean something like Rustins? Sorry for dumb question.

Rustins I thought was chemical proof, maybe worth checking their specs.

Good skills, beaded face frames take some thought to get as good as that.

Good to see an update, I liked this post as lots of info and inspiration to us. Well done.

I think people are getting a bit confused on medium that is being finished here: Rustins, as noted a great product is usually applied a bit thinner than than a very thick art style resin Resin, like that seen in art use etc can go on very very thick, and does need a heat gun to clear the...

Record DX5000 is pretty good, big volume and goes down to low microns. Nothing is going to be that quiet in your shop, unless you have some kind of acoustic hood, then you risk head issues and may lower the extraction rate, and or heat issues. You could build a little outbuilding to take the...

Is there a prize for this one?

This is awesome, great to see the WIP pics. How long did this complete kitchen take you? Love to hear a bit more.

This is great to see. That was clearly made with a huge amount of over engineering to it. Hope you get some good service out of it once fixed up.

All, I was wondering what is selling in terms of the world of wood right now. I was contemplating making a couple of kitchen island type units, or freestanding to put on ebay to earn a few pennies on the side, anybody had any luck with this? Ideas input welcome, cheers.

Nice build. Cool dog too!

The roof sounds okay, long as you are careful on height so you don't trigger any planning issues or neighbours. I built something like this in my garden, from reclaimed bricks to try and make it look like it had always been there. I used the whole width of the garden, as there was a failing...
