Thanks again for the advice @JobAndKnock I wonder if using Titebond 3 glue like this would be a good method? Kind of half way between a glue sheet but using liquid glue still.

Thanks a lot for the reply @JobAndKnock Would this listing for film glue be appropriate? It doesn't specifically state PUR so I'm wondering if it's just normal hot melt style glue! Does it have the proper structural strength...

I've sanded and squared off an old table top which is made up of about 6mm oak parquet bonded to a pine base. So it's a kind of plywood affair. To edge the table I'd like to have it appear to be one solid piece of wood so I've got a roll of thin (non pre glued) oak veneer with which to bond to...

Thanks so much for all the replies everyone. Using nuts and bolts is a good idea and the cliffhanger slot bracket looks good but isn't available in the UK. Plus it's expensive! @conny Why I didn't think of going the batten route though, I have no idea! That's absolutely the best way to go I...

@JobAndKnock Thanks a lot for the reply. That's very much what I was thinking. I'm not seeing any top hung solutions tho that wouldn't involve some sort of protrusion below the shelf? I really want a clean underneath. Say I chose a thicker ply or made it thicker using a construction with thick...

I want to attach a high up shelf along a corridor, approx 2m across, into a brick wall. I'll likely use some 3/4" ply and 3 or 4 wall brackets. Ideally I'd like to have the brackets mounted internally so that they will be hidden when looking up. I'm always a little worried about mounting shelves...

Thanks for the reply @John D v2.0 Yes that's what I was thinking too. Maybe I should let them be where they are. I've started watering them with rose feed so hopefully that will give them an extra boost.

Thanks again for the replies everyone. I'd seen that DIY Perks one previously. He does some great stuff doesn't he. It's a little too much effort though currently when I have so many other electronic things to fix! :) I went with some filters from pihut which ended up being ones from adafruit...

It's not really a DIY question.. but I spy a few other plant related questions so thought a few knowledgable gardeners here might be able to answer? Looking around the net it's pretty unclear how to actually proceed with rose cuttings which have taken. I took some rose cuttings late last year...

Thanks for the replies everyone. @RandomGrinch Yeah this kind of thing certainly isn't for a professional workplace. But for light hobby work it should be sufficient. I might go down the route of the tube out the window but like I said, having the window open is damn cold! And energy costs what...

Found some! The Pi Hut had some. There are also some from RS Online, don't know why I didn't check there in the first place!

@Sureitsoff? Thanks for the reply. Are Hepa filters required for this type of filtration? I've read around and I kept hearing about simple carbon filter sheets which should provide the filter quality for solder fumes? I could absolutely just open the windows its just damn cold! Plus fumes never...

I've some large PC fans which I've chained together and plan on attaching some carbon filters to the back of to act as a diy solder fume extractor. Can anyone recommend an online shop/seller who sells the genuine article? There's lots available on eBay etc but I'd like to be sure that I'm...

Tough to decide where to put this but since it concerns mainly wood I thought it best here. I need to attach a shelf over a doorway. I was originally going to attach 2 large brackets to the wall either side of the doorway, however due to a possible electric cable nearby I'd rather not chance...

Thanks for all the advice everyone. Hmm I'll likely attempt the 2 pass method. Take off half, then use a top bearing cutter to remove the lower half.

I need to straighten off the edges of a table top Im making from an old piece of oak parquet veneered pine. The oak veneer is about 5mm thick with the pine around 45mm, so 50mm all told. After I've straightened the edges I'll veneer them, so I need a nice clean edge. I have a Bosch 1200 router...

Thanks for that. I'll give it a try.

I've chopped up a few plywood panels to create some art drawing boards. I've been trying to decide on a water proof sealant that will be suitable for such a task. The main requirement would be to give a reasonable flat clear finish and most importantly be tough and water resistant. Could...

I haven't unfortunately. As has been advised, the plastics used for frames does seem to include oils which completely rule out bonding. That just seems to be the way it is, annoyingly. The best bet seems to be... don't break the frames!

Thanks for the replies everyone. I got it open! Some more liberal WD40 and some careful plier torque shifted it. There seems to be an issue with how it was installed. The locking bolt's recess hole on the wall is slightly out, resulting in a stiff movement in and out. Perhaps increasing the size...
