I defer to your experience with the vecturo. My experience of the fein multimaster has been very good, I have killed two but they last about 8 years each so not bad given the abuse they get. I always thought about upgrading but found the cost off putting. I tried a couple of off brand...

The vecturo is a re badged fein supercut. Should be very good, probably better than the others you mention. Different blade attachment design to the multimaster. The one advantage of the festool one is that you can get a vertical plunge guide, like a foot thing. Which I think would be handy for...

I stopped using accoya when the prices went mental. It is good stuff and machines nicely but its a little bit brittle and not keen on hand planing, so very sharp blades required. Also smells like vineger and the dust is very fine and static clings on everything. The other thing is you must use...

I bought one off ebay last time from a place that specialized in them, the reason was the one supplied by Wrens was not clear glass by my standards but very green and hence looked crap over the sparkly white wall cladding. Possibly a non issue on a gark background but looked awful on the white...

There are many ways to tackle this type of project. My starting point is normally a few sketches then a drawing to scale, for the scale drawing it is handy to use Fusion 360 or another CAD system. this way you can adapt things as you go. Often stuff sketched will look different when to the...

Hi Fireburst, I would like the side rebate plane please. Pm me with your payment details etc and I will send money by your preferred method. Ollie

I tried the Mightons primer and was pretty much unimpressed. But I am comparing it to my normal Tikurilla Otex primer so I guess it depends what you are used to.

If you have a track saw I suggest use that, it is safer and more likely to get a good cut than the table saw. You can further improve the chances making sure there is pressure to both sides of the cut. The Festool has a little foot you can use to apply pressure but they don't all have it. You...

You need to make a true zero clearance insert to give you any chance, also a good quality brand new blade. You could also try a scoring pass first of just one or 2 mm before a second pass. Personally I would buy a track saw for that many cuts. Even then it will be tricky. Chipboard stuff just...

I would personally buy the boxes from DIY kitchens and spend the time and effort on nice doors and nicer other bits. Spend your time and effort on the bits you can see.

It is great, maybe we need to print a logo on some and start flogging it!! The only other person I have seen using it was the chimney sweep who came to sort out our woodburner. He swears by it as well. Added bonus is you can get almost any colour.

Best thing I have discovered is waterproof Cordura style cloth. You can buy it on ebay etc by the meter. I buy 10 metres and cut it into manageable sections, lasts for years. The best thing about it is that it has a rubber side that is not only waterproof but also non slip. You can buy different...

The Timco one is good, comes in a better bottle with a more sensible lid design.

I knew what these were made of, only because accidentally smashed one whilst trying to pop the bead on, they are incredibly fragile if you hit them wrong or damage them when they are not in the door. Seem pretty strong once in position though.

Looks like a good machine, I love a good restoration/ improvement thread.

I think a sprig gun is great, I have a fletcher one. But it's probably only worth it if you are doing quite a few as they are not cheap, otherwise the fletcher push in ones are fine. Personally I find aluminium primer very "sticky" to paint with.

Due to awkward height issues in the last kitchen I fitted we decided to go for the ones which angle up at a 45 degrees. No problem for banging your head or getting in front of your view etc. it worked well.

Veneered plywood with solid edges maybe ?

Multi finish for preference but you can use drywall adhesive or even a powdered filler like Toupret or something. I think you are really supposed to use what they used to call whiting which I believe is finely ground chalk.

This is interesting, they sent me a tub of their primer which I tried this week (brushing ) I was not impressed with it and found it pretty watery and not very opaque, needed 3 coats to get a satisfactory finish on a sash I was repairing. I would compare it to Dulux waterbased or maybe Leyland...
