All things wood

Thanks for imput cjard, im confused by your measurments (6 sleepers cut in 2). But see your point. However i would have to pay fitter if i bought ready made ones so would add to cost plus buying the cheapest does not always a saving make? I can see so many potential problems with this idea...

2.8m is longest length, was thjnking about stagering 1m with 1.8. As need cut out for belfast sink in middle. sorry, 1.8m length for sleepers...

B A, 50% ? 😭 If i rule out 'dont be tight and buy worktops'😊 have you any other sugestions for wood that may work Please guys?

Thanks, it would be mainly woodwork but will need grunt enough to fix into brickwork. The video posted above shows staggering strength for 12v, although it seems a milwaukee marketing vid not independant! Speed not so much a problem. And have 2x2a 1x4a batteries. Even the 2amp lasts ages after...

Thanks job, the one thing I have in my favour is knowing my nievety hence why i am here. I hoped moisture would not be a problem, but if it is high like you state how would that affect the outcome, Is it still warping potential? And glue and biscuit was my plan although i hadnt thought of...

Hello, having always wanted oak worktops but never being able to afford them i have crazy idea i would liketo try, im going to enquire at local reclaim yard if they can slit oak sleepers in two to make worktops... they would come out at 65 x 220 x 1800mm, £25 per pair plus whatever charge for...

You are fortunate enough to have a trade card :(

I haven't found anything that cheap, if that's the case I may not take the risk. if you would be so kind as to share where you purchased these.

Aron, thank you. that is the science I am looking for. I would love to try this idea however sounds like recipe for disaster. my original plan was to use 2 18mm X 600mm X 3m lengths of pine board glued together, I have made tables for living room and craft room using this and they are straight...

I hadn't concidered that, as boards are planed and will be sanded well and treated with appropriate oils I don't know how it can be different than any other solid wood top? I prepare on chopping boards anyway.. I appreciate your opinions, could you explain further please as I don't...

Thanks for reply foxhole :'( that is my biggest worry, although these boards have been down for decades without warping, if secured enough underneath + glued on to plywood, what would cause the warp this time? Keven :roll:
