Good point cjard! Hadn't thought of that. But ... have put my table saw away and seriously can't be bothered to re-erect it! Plus avoids cost of new MDF etc. ... not to mention time to paint inside & out, and difficulty in drilling hinges to precisely match where existing ones are etc.

Thanks Aron ... but don't quite understand the concept of 'self-weight'? These are traditional, vertically hung cabinet doors, with 3 concealed cabinet hinges in each. I think the warp was always there, or it might have come about while the MDF sheets were waiting to be cut (eg. I think I...

Just wondering whether there are any clever tips from people on this forum for fixing warp on MDF doors? These were probably warped even before painting, but they are inset into the cabinet (living room) and therefore any slight twist is very visible and I now really need to fix it. Because...

Unknown max cabinet height squared + cabinet depth squared = 3m squared So, assuming 0.5m cabinet depth (500mm) ... Unknown height = square root of 8.75 (9-0.25) Absolute maximum height of cabinet can be 2.958m (2958mm) Adjust to suit ... !

I think you should trim them down and sell them to the guy on this board who is making an outdoor Connect 4 set ....

Thanks J&K ... ok, I'm plumping for option 3 ... chiefly because we live in a rendered building and have to have a very light painted structure ... and it's only £30/post in material costs for these 8" x 8" timbers ... Is this the kind of thing that would work do you think? It seems good in...

I'm currently designing an arbour ... and need it to have a white painted look. We also would like quite a chunky look to the pillars (eg. 8" square posts ... or maybe even 10"), and you can't get this in planed all round. The guy at the timber yard was suggesting buying rough sawn stock and...

Go look at sofa DOT com ... you get a lifetime guarantee on the frame, and they are pretty forgiving with refunds etc. if you don't like the look of it when it arrives ... Just an idea!

Sarcasm aside ... thanks Bilabong007 ... YES, it is the cranked hinge I need, although it will need some sort of strip of wood placed inside the reveal for it to work from. Hafele seem to do a good range, or this from SDS...

Thanks Freddy! Still got no idea how you got those letters to appear in the little search box, let alone in the right order etc., but your amazing link just did it all for me. I'm all made up. Genius.

Go on Freddy ... do share ... I'm obviously a thick tw%$t but, in the words of Bono, I still haven't found what i'm loooooooooooooking for ....

That is indeed really strange foxhole. Even stranger that you have to go to America to buy them ...

Hello hive mind ... ... can anyone tip me off as to what these kind of hinges would be called? Basically my wife would like me to fit interior shutters to a window, and they should be able to fold back, flush with the wall, revealing the full window when open .... Be so grateful if...

We bought a 454 litre Keter one from an online source ... and have to admit that although I disagreed big time with my wife about it at the time (thought the plastic would look cheap, and felt it was a bit pricey etc.) ... I have been proved wrong. It doesn't really look that bad (we keep it in...

Um .. don't think that's going to have the strength to stand up to being covered in roses ... plus no idea how you'd create the arch etc. ... but thanks for thinking about it!

Ah .. yes ... actually looking further into it now, wrought iron may be the longest lasting, and perhaps most attractive option, but it will definitely NOT be the most economical route! Tempting to try to fabricate it in timber, but I don't think it will be easy to achieve that delicate look...

Hi all Now need to construct a 9m long pergola ... and wondering if any forum-ites had any advice on best way to pull this off without breaking the bank. General design as in image ... ie. 7 x 2.4m high arches, linked by 7 long spans of more delicate ironwork. Apart from the actual archy...
