Like that you are making the thing as a whole unit to fit (hopefully) . Not much fun with everything that could go wrong trying to fit those two doors to an existing frame. Ian

Are the doors really 3 or 4 inches wide with Dovetailed? frames? I would suggest a sketch of the box would be useful for us to help with the design element. As an inexperienced woodworker a drawing will definitely help you avoid mistakes, which we all make! Ian

You’re probably correct, never looked what D it is, just good glue for furniture which is just about all I do. Ian

Don’t know how any of you find the time to get any woodwork done, I look in occasionally but soon leave again. A most unpleasant experience watching you all argue for the sake of it.

Can’t comment on putting it on over an old oil finish- sorry, but I can definitely recommend Johnstone’s water based floor poly varnish, 15 years now and still hardly a mark or sign of wear. They do two sorts, it’s the one for floors you need. Ian

Not sure about anyone else but I have always put a smoothing plane over the edges to be joined after the planer anyway, and I have a large pro SCM machine. Just seems the right thing to do.

I’m sure Deema didn’t mean that lol. Also when using the machine put a lot of downforce onto the wood where it emerges from under the bridge guard as the end of the board is passing the cutters, or in other words towards the end of the cut press down even harder on the outfeed table. This will...

Rather surprised to find that they are still available, not expensive either!

I would guess it was mounted on the floor next to a fire and under the lid would have been a gas valve with a bayonet fitting to plug a gas poker into, saves kindling etc just light the poker which had a “blade” of about 8” with holes in it out of which came the lit gas, pushed in amongst the...

I fitted an in line large motor fan in the attic at my old house, might help. But I would think the reason they are complaining about the steam is the warm damp air hitting the cold air from the window- fogbank time.

Hi and welcome, sounds like you’re quite experienced already, but there’s a wealth of knowledge on here on anything else you could possibly want to know. Ian

Might seem obvious but I’ll say it anyway, solid edging then veneer over the whole thing. And I’m sorry but not aware of your experience level, always use a balancing veneer on the back to prevent it warping.

Welcome Mick, whereabouts are you from? It can help sometimes if you have a rough location on your badge. Ian

I have only ever used the Everbuild filler, very little on each piece made but sometimes it is needed. Nearly always on Oak and can’t say I’ve really had a problem. I think it blends in much better with a finish on top. Sometimes on darker Oak I have mixed in a little of the Mahogany one they...

Yes just checked, there is a number on the bottle but it isn’t a date so far as I can see.

Phil, you say the use by date is 6months from date of manufacture, does it say that on the bottle? Never used it so just curious. It certainly isn’t very long is it. I always use Evostick, never noticed a date on it, and it certainly works just fine years after purchase. Ian

You’d imagine that they might suffer with their knees in old age, or maybe it keeps them supple?

Surely a case when it would have been better to at least just sell a boxful at a time, unless of course somebody wants to instantly become the worlds biggest collector of irons?

I was just about to say re roofs that I have heard that to promote moss and algae which is sort of whats on the cladding yoghurt should be applied, natural I would presume.

Now that I really enjoyed! Rock and bagpipes, not a mixture I would have thought of but brill!
