Thanks all. If the router is powerful enough to do it in one pass then I will.

Hi, I have a cutter like this in a 1000w 1/4 inch router. Should I round over 18mm MDF in one pass or several? https://www.trend-uk.com/c078x1-4tc-rounding-over-9-5mm-radius-x-15-9mm-cut Thanks.

Thanks Muggles. It's a 150m2 detached four bed, with a poorly insulated flat roof extension, and currently has a 30kw installed. The calculators are generally recommending 24 or 30. Was thinking Worcester as I can use Boxt who are generally 1k cheaper than local installers and offer a year...

Hi, any idea on the differences between the 30i and 8000 system boilers? Both at 30kw. From the specs the 30i is smaller and has the traditional Worcester rotary knobs, the 8000 is bigger and has a fancy display... Anything else? I prefer the LCD display but not for £400! Am I right in thinking...

Unfortunately not. You don't think it would bounce?

I need to move the washing machine outside for a while. Electrics, water, drainage all ok. Will be covered with a frame and roof made from left over closeboard fencing. It needs to go in a place currently gravelled. For a base I was thinking of a paving slab set on 25mm sharp sand, on some DPC...

Cheers, is it as strong as the steel beads? Would you feather it in?

I have an opening in a high traffic area. It's like a doorway without a door between hall and kitchen. Currently the wall is floated and there aren't any beads. The corners keep chipping. I don't want to skim the whole wall, so I think I have two options. Any thoughts? 1. Try and evenly round...

Anyone?

Hi As you can see from attached pics I have a WC using a pan connector with built in boss for basin drainage. The boss wants this replaced with a wall hung toilet. From research so far I think I need a Grohe frame as that allows a 45 degree angle on the waste, is that correct? The...

What would you do with said chisels, I'm not trying to make a mortice or dovetail. I could pare the rebates flat but as above thought a belt sander would be easier

Only have a trim router unfortunately, trying to huck out 100x100x25 would probably kill it unless I did 20 passes!

Yeah fair enough, it's not fine cabinetry. I just want the joints to be strong and rigid and PVA /PU glue doesn't gap fill well.

I'm making a pair of gates and need to make 8x corner lap joints and 4x housing/cross laps in 2x4. Here are my initial attempts at half lap joints. The smoother left one was done with a hand saw, cutting at 45 degrees from each side to avoid the cut line drifting ( I saw this on a Skill builder...

Hi, I'm making 1800 x 750 shed doors. Ledge and brace. They will be hung with two heavy duty hook and band hinges. The planking, ledges and brace are all made from 6x1. Do I need a third ledge if I'm using two hinges? What does it achieve? Is it mostly to stop the planking bowing? Thanks
