Hi Derek yes I’ve no choice but to use it

Would filling it with glue work? It won’t be seen so it’d be a shame to put a lovely butterfly cleat in

Hi all I have a 40mm thick slab of ash with a substantial crack going from the end 12” long( piece is 6ft long total) , about 5mm at its widest and the depth is getting very close to full thickness, probably 35mm. It is for a desktop and

thanks Deema - is it suitable for beaded face frames?

Hi All Just curious as to what are the uses for Morso Machines? Is it mainly for cutting mitres, as I see they are often marketed as picture framing machines. For example, can the same machine do a beaded face frame also (obviously apart from the routed bead itself). What are other uses for...

It could be a heavy lift, each 'leg' of the top is 600mm wide and c.35mm thick solid ash

And a fine job you did sir! Great work!

I started to model this in Sketchup this evening. Encountered another issue. I will need to make in two parts and attach them in the room. Not entirely sure how I will actually get the two 'legs' to join (had dominos in mind, for alignment) given that I am constrained by walls and won't have...

That's really helpful thanks Doug

Apologies, the widths are supposed to be identical.

Yes, exactly. I will need probably three boards to get the width of 2ft. Thickness of 1.5"

at one end of the L, there's a cabinet underneath to support, the same at the other end of L that's 90 degrees to it. It will also be cantilevered from both walls. I have crudely drawn a plan view, where the black arc is the radius I am trying to achieve

Hi All I want to make a desktop from solid wood (ash) for a home office. The desk will sit in an L shape, so will have a 90 degree joint - which would suit a masons mitre. However, I do not want a 90 degree inside corner, rather a radius so that there is a curve from one section of the desktop...

Got it!

Hi all I have seen people avoid mdf say in cabinet doors particularly with butt hinges. Then you have mdf door linings for interior doors. So is this avoidance of mdf unfounded? Bit confused by this

Hi all I have to build a small stud partition to separate a kitchen come living room space. I say small as the opening is 12ft across, where double doors will be fitted leaving a couple of feet where I need to build the small stud wall. There is a concrete lintel or precast concrete of some...

I expected something more “solid” especially given the published load ratings

Well I tried those Hafele brackets today. It didn’t go well. Not solid and a lot of play/ flex in the shelf vertically. So much so that the screws / rawl plugs were working loose from the wall

I got some of these specific ones. I don’t see any flats on them though. There’s a light knurling at the rod base but it doesn’t turn. There’s a plastic type of cam on the base which I guess Is for adjustment along with two set screws. How are these best installed? I guess I need to glue the...

i'd be worried of getting the threaded rob absolutely horizontal and level
