Oh! http://www.dressermouldings.com/products/mouldings/cornices.html PERFECT How did I miss that one. All sorts of cornices, seem reasonably priced, no minimum order, and only £5.95 for courier delivery. How did I miss it first time? Shall report back with finished pix when all done!

Sorry ... should have perhaps said that I did put in a few hours on Google already! WRP has minimum orders of 20m odd on most of their stuff, and a £35 delivery charge on orders less than £300 ... so not going to work. Which is a real shame because they have a great range!

Ahh ... yes ... Bosley I too got very excited by their range. And then I saw they were about 3,000 miles away in Maryland! At the moment my plan is to scour eBay for someone locally kicking ex kitchen stuff out, perhaps I'll get lucky.

Hi y'all Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to find 2 lengths of 'cornice' for the top of some library units that I'm making (see sketchup pic)? They will be painted ... so just wondering actually whether I even need it to be in wood at all? Would I get more...

Relief! Thanks .. .yes, think I understand ... appreciated!

Re: mixing MDF with softwood, now I'm getting a little worried now about the make up of the rest of the cabinets ... which were started off for me by a joiner. Because I wanted nice chunky partitions & walls, he used 25mm MDF as an outside skin, and 9mm MDF as an inside one, with some...

My oh my ... that screw box jig thing ... what a work of art!

Yes ... all MDF would certainly be simpler ... just dying to use some normal/proper wood on the project! Plus, as I said, I prefer the edge detail of regular wood, but I'll check out the MR stuff as a comparison.

Thanks Job&Knock ... appreciate your input ... esp. interesting about edge detail in MR MDF. Yes - all in all it will probably be better to go with 21mm finished softwood frame, and then have a 12mm MDF panel set back 9mm. Lighter, and easier to get the concealed hinges to work with less of...

Doesn't it take a lot longer than a few weeks for any problems re: expansion/contraction to take place!?! Was going to use butt hinges, but now it appears my wife doesn't want to see any evidence of hinges at all, so we will go with unsprung concealed ones, with a push to open latch. Having...

I guess I could speed things up and simply do the whole thing in MDF ... eg. apply pieces of 9mm MDF on top of a full size piece of 18mm ... but I do think that over time on cabinet doors MDF does tend to 'bruise', and can start to look a bit worse for wear. I like the crisper edge of proper...

Uh .. no bead involved ... This is a view of the door from the back. The 18mm MDF panel just sits flush with the back of the stiles/rails in a 15mm rebate. Was going to pocket hole the 'frame' together, and simply panel pin & glue the MDF to the rebates ...

Quick q ... bit confused by construction technique for a cabinet door. Want to use 27mm thick Pine rails & stiles ... with 18mm MDF panel inset ... but I don't want to go to the hassle of making a groove etc., just want it to sit in a rebate. Is that ok? Or will gluing/nailing the panel to...

Thanks all! Much appreciated ...
