Dodge's latest Challenge - Don't get Bored - Get a Board!

[Dodge]

My partner says I should make a shelf... 5'x1"x8"
:roll: :roll: :roll:

They just don't understand! !!!

But you wouldn't have enough wood for the brackets!! :mrgreen:

:lol: :lol: dam didn't think of that reply!

Going to see if I can get some wood tomorrow! ! :?

What are the thoughts on a small part of an overall project that needs a machine to produce that we do not have- for example a turned component for somebody with no lathe- is it permitted to ask somebody to turn it on our behalf, obviously using the timber from the single board?

NO - purely YOUR OWN work and within the parameters of your abilities.

cmon peeps, the rules state clearly what is needed. a board 5ft x 8inch x 1 inch and make what ever YOU want. Any extra i.e. inlays, hinges will not be considered, but can be included in the final piece. But purly in thought process and craftmanship. There will things that I have never done before, but I will attempt them (on scrap at first).

It's all in the rules...read them.

Too right I want some! I was expecting 20 for oak but 50 Plus!
Im gutted...... its one of the only places locally. Ive got 1 more place to try. :?

 

[marcros]

cant you buy a board from work, melinda? If i remember rightly you work at a cabinet makers dont you?

failing that, i have just bought some bubinga from http://www.goodtimber.com/cgi-bin/newbu ... st_RS.html. (not for this project) on their old website, they had prices, but I cant see it here. They charged be £22 for postage, but that was for 2 large boards- 1@2"x10" and 1"10", both 8' long.Wht I am trying to say is that the postage may not be as much as you fear, and anything around £40 a cube, will be close to the tenner a board (assuming no wastage)

this is last years price list, so you can get an idea. http://web.archive.org/web/201305121653 ... prices.pdf you never know, they may have an offcut, or a board that one end isnt to spec and you would still get your 5' from.

You wouldn't need wood for brackets if you put it on the floor and call it a "Floor standing shelf"
