Just a thought, try the term 'Pad saver' rather than interface pad.

I've got some double sided pieces of velcro with matching holes in on all of my 150mm sanders trouble is I have no recollection of where I got them from!

That is cracking piece of work!

Especially as you only needed a club hammer to get it in!, I always seem to need the sledge.

I particularly like your use of the bobbin sander, and how you've cased the newels.

Mark, Don't over think things, I do very similar to Steve. Put the top and bottom ON the sides rather than inside the sides. Use 45 or 50mm 3.5mm screws (just fully threaded ones will be fine, the carcass screws are awesome but I never remember to buy them!), with a clearance hole and countersink in...

I generally use dynapro but tried some quadro 4d ones and the clips and the release mechanism felt much more positive than the grass, to the point once i use up what I have i'll probably switch to using them.

Dear Mark, The Drawer Box Company are excellent, they will make you anything at all, any size, any type, any timber and even any dovetail layout (ie shallow drawer you may only want two pins), just speak to Paul or Simon. It's very difficult, at least I think so, to convey everything a company can d...

Steve, If you use the 'Bobby' method, and you have enough clamps I'm guessing there is no wood welder available, you'll have those doors made in no time (assuming you have stock ready to go )I've just done a kitchen with 38 doors and made them myself, and then another couple of days for boshing thro...

Just rub a candle on the sole, no need for anything more sophisticated.

Leveller, Do you have a CAD programe? If so this link will give you .dxf files of the crittall product, but you'll obviously need to know exactly what secction/window style is to be fabricated. Fabco (similar to crittall will be different again etc.) https://www.crittall-windows.co.uk/professionals/...

I too have used probox, and thoguht the serice was excellent.

I had a feeling Pablo on here may have set something up to do with drawer manufacture but I may be talking off the top of my head!

In fact ooking at the area it may be the drawerbox company mentioned above but don't quote me on that!

Mark, Really really powerful stuff that, I would say you are bang on the money if not a little too cheap, I would more than happily pay that amount. My last cut and edge job I subbed out was; 10 sheets of Egger Cashmere grey, 2 sheets oak mdf, 4 sheets MR MDF and 76m of a mix of 1 and 2mm Edging inc...

Mark,

Thank you, I knew somone would be able to point me in the right direction, thank you so much.

Chaps/Chapesses I have one of those 900mm wide drum sanders of the Chinesium variety that is similar to the one axminster used to sell (same factory I expect) , I had managed after much cursing to get the thing working faultlessly, (I couldn't physically get a wide belt to the workshop to get it in!...

You have a choice for the edging, if like me you do a standard veneer back you can use smooth 2mm veneer edging, which I thought looked acceptble as I also had an inset handle detail. Or use this.. https://www.ostermann.eu/en_GB/product/0724200-wood-veneer-edging-european-oak-sawn-look Pretty sure i...

David, I have done a whole kitchen in rough sawn oak, not too diificult to use, but you'll never get the lines to line up! I bought mine from Mundy's who I highly recommend. I don't think you'll find pre-veneered boards, but somone like Thornell will happily do it for for you I expect. If you are go...

Just to make you aware, some sites will demand an M Class extractor which will have filter cleaners and an audible blockage warning.

You could also take a look at Starmix who make excellent extractors that are extremely prevalent in Europe.

Bottom line, if the contract was for day work, i.e. he said "can you come and do some work for me for x number of days..." he owes you the money no matter what, you were employed for a days work, what you did in that day has nothing to do with it, he owes you for your time, not what you produced. Th...

I have an 5hp Esta Dustomat 62 that does all my extraction. (I'm tight for space, hence the single bag) I have an old 900 wide twin drum sander, ducted to it on 150mm spiral, if I put 10 to 15 shaker style doors through, the amount of dust in the filter is monumental. I usually have to run the filte...

Awesome thread, it's really lovely to see the 'Workings Out' thank you so much for taking the time document it.

furynaturre

I've never managed to break one of these, massive motor, great visibility when cutting jacks etc, not the nicest handle but at £99 I'll deal with that, I've used every make and have a dewalt, a makita and a metabo, (don't ask why) and if I wanted to get stuff done I'd pick this up every time! http:/...

Hi There, Assuming it's open eaves, rather than the tilting fillet you have currently running perpendicular to the rafters, you'd be better off cutting a proper sprocket for each individual rafter. You don't say what type of tile you are using, (if it's slates be very cautious about the shape speak ...

I have had the festool 300 thingy for about 10 years, it's excellent, blade support is good cuts true and reliably. They come up second hand as the fanboys sell them to the get carvex for some reason, not sure why, it's a jigsaw, it's effectively a tool for a pikey! If you don't want to spring for t...

Fantastic job!

I tried to design my workshop around a currently non-existent panel saw, but would happily take a gas axe to the table on a biggy with 1200 rip on it just to give me a bit more room so your 150mm is prie well worth paying... Looks like Bob took the plunge too!

Mark

I've had a really good experience using http://www.proboxdrawers.co.uk/

Extremely, helpful, really nicely packaged and palatised, made them to my sizes exactly, I didn't think the cost was bad at all!

Hope this helps

Finsa do a product called Twin Ply, which is a softwood ply core with clear grade birch faces, it's way lighter and cheaper than through and through birch ply and I've always liked the sound of it coupled with a funky 2mm ABS edge... Ply is never the straightest bear this in mind as if they have to ...

I'm with Jason here door blank and plant on, you could also look at a pivot hinge with a floor plate, I've done them this big for interior stuff but not exterior, will take some standing around and teeth sucking to get a good seal with pivot hinge, assuming you need/want it when using the pivot.

furynaturre

Low plinth heights if your doing lay on doors will cause you "issues" with the dishwasher door if the door length is over 720mm (ie you have made longer doors to compensate for the shorter plinth)

James

furynaturre

First check the dimension at the head (top), that's what counts, then check the leg that it will be hinged from if you want to, it should plumb and straight in all directions. The other side only needs to be plumb to the hinge side. The width is irrelevant till the door is in as you can bang folding...

Top Purchase!

I keep looking at these without the digital gubbins! Do let us know what you think overall, they seem to be cracking value for the specification.

James

That looks great Steve, I think the proportions are appropriate for the use ad in my eyes at least look perfect!

furynaturre

Paul

That is very crisp, and not overly fussy, very tidy.

I bet that cupboard round the boiler took about eleventy million goes to fit nicely, they do when I have to do them anyway!

Mark, I watched all that video, truly brilliant, thank you so much for doing that, even though that it's the sort thing I don't think I could could ever look at getting involved in it is incredibly helpful to see what does what in the world of the bigger guys, just in case I decide to sell the house...

furynaturre

I second what Siafins said, those hinges you have are a pain in the backside, no where near as much adjustment, either go for an inset hinge matched to the gap you need and drilling dimension with a 0mm or 2mm baseplate or if that won't work a standard hinge on 14mm or 19mm base plate.

furynaturre

You get a lot more stuff out the door than me, but I think you are right, got a dark oak table to make, and another kitchen in

(more dark dark brown)

... Stay 'On Fleek' Bob, as I believe the 'Yoot' say!

furynaturre

Again, thank you guys!

If an all black kitchen wasn't enough, I made a load of low level window reveal covers/board thingies, and am currently making/cladding two fireplaces and also a set of shelves... Despite the balck-ashness, it really suits the house.

Cheers

James

There is a fair bit of work in that, that isn't seen, super tidy job!

Now... Why didn't I think of tweaking a few teeth on the blade a bit?

Guys, Thank you! I really did c*ck the pricing up, but it was such a nice job and a lovely customer, so you have to take it on the chin, luckily I only have to feed myself!
