I was just thinking of adding a rib on the underside which fits to the inner dimensions of the box in the same way they stack together if that makes sense. The smaller 300 x 400 x Zmm boxes are similar to MAKPAC / Systainer size but a fraction of the price eg £6 for a 290mm high one. Plastic...

I'm not really sure if this is the correct section to post this in so mods feel free to move it to the correct place. I have a very small single garage workshop / garage where I do some wood mashing, some bits of mechanics and all that kind of stuff as a weekend warrior. A few years back I...

Thats the same as the one i filed down too. Took about 1mm off the heel in the end.... Did you make the 45° accurate too?

Thats exactly the method i used with a 0.5mm propelling pencil. The lines overlapped at the root and were 2mm apart at the about 200mm. I have just finished filing the speed square and the lines overlap over their entire length now. The 45 degrees on the hypotenuse is a mile out but i never...

Well I decided to have a rummage though my selection of cheap squares that I have acquired over the years to check for accuracy and it would appear that most of them are coming out at around 89.7° or 1mm off for every 200mm of travel which is a nice 3mm over the width of a worktop. One was a...

Excellent, cheers. I take it it i go for light oak tint it will get me close to the other stuff in the photo? Whats the real world coverage like? The top is 2.1 x 0.62m (its worktop...), would that be a 250ml pot or likely to be better to go for a 1l pot?

Awesome. Thanks chaps. Love the sagulator, most helpful! It is indeed kitchen worktop, I had to have a quick lie down after carrying it upstairs on my own. Its a heavy beast!

Its just for a laptop, printer and paperwork. No real weight. Interesting about the steal to oak reaction. I was just going to screw my powder coated hair pin legs to each corner.... Presumably this is a bad plan? Ergonomically I can't have an apron on the front edge as my knees wont fit if...

Chaps, I am in the process of making a desk using a solid oak worktop that is 2100 x 620 x 40mm with 40mm staves. Ideally I just want legs at each end with no central support. I am drawn to fitting either some Wickes finest 38 x 63 CLS on edge or some 50 x 30 steel box flat as a rib down...

Afternoon chaps. The working from home fun of the current times has resulted in the desk needing an upgrade. Ive got a chunky bare oak slab in place now but I don't know how to finish it. I'm trying to get a similar look to some book cases that I already have and I assume they have a varnish or...
