Hello and welcome. If you're making the cabinet for the joy of making something that will hopefully last for years, Birch ply would be favourite, but its not cheap. Your local builders merchant will probably keep some low to medium quality ply in stock which would structurally be fine for what...

All the weight, little as it may be, from elbows, laptops, books, junk etc will probably be in the centre of the spans and at the front edge. Could be ok, but over time I'd expect it to sag a little, but i may be erring on the side of caution. Also I think an edged or thicker top would be more...

I could well be incorrect but I think the OSB also provides the rigidity to the building (it certainly did on mine). so I'd go ... plasterboard battens -OSB (which also acts as the Vapour Barrier) -50x100 studs (filled with mineral wool) -breather membrane -battens (to allow air gap)...

A 1.2m span of ply, mfc or mdf will invariably sag over time so if it were me I'd fix a front edge (2x1?) to your top sections, glued and pocketed if you do not want screw heads on the top surface. Stagger the front edge if you like to interlock the tops. Assuming you are going from wall to...

Not cheap to purchase but lasts a long time, Rhyno-Grip Plusline abrasive to 400 grit, then red and yellow nyweb pads (600 + 1000), then if you want to push the boat out into finer waters, Micro mesh pads, 1500 to 12000 grit. Other vendors are available :) gets a finish like this... More pics

Dowel or a pair of dowels per joint? maybe steel rod if limited for space?

If you feel strongly enough about it start a different thread and try and be a bit more helpful rather than just stating something is bow locks.

You can dry small pieces of wood in the microwave. https://www.google.co.uk/#q=microwave+drying+wood I used to dry pen blank sizes, 25x25x150mm, in an old microwave. Defrost setting only. Weigh the wood, nuke for 3 or 4 minutes, allow to cool. repeat. when it doesn't get any lighter - its dry...

Far from an expert but I use a TP link AC750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router Archer D2. which has logs available from the web interface, no telnetting in. Maybe that does what you need? http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/deta ... l#overview

You'll need to put RJ45 plugs on the end of the cables, with the appropriate tool. and then plug one end into router in house and one into either PC in shed or Access point/ router in shed. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index ... rimp_Tools http://www.home-network-help.com/straight.html If...

Found some in the US if thats any good? https://thesandingglove.com/Woodturning ... enters.asp According to a retired Peter Child page, parts were being remade and imported by them back to the UK in 2015, so maybe a call to Turners Retreat may find some dusty ones in the back of the shop...

No skills required! Luckily :) Pair of katangas come shelves for utility room. Builders merchants (i.e. knotty and twisted) PAR 7x1 and 4x1, 69p hooks from amazon and a tin of chalk paint. Simple: cut to length, edge with chamfer bit in router, screw together, paint. Wall fixings under end hooks.

Benchmarx , (Travis Perkins own brand trade only ;) ) may be worth a look.

You could always make your own of varying sizes from an old frog, a lump of wood and some sticky backed plastic :) http://timmanneychairmaker.blogspot.co. ... anley.html
