sorry, one last point, theres an old wooden door seal sunken into the floor (where the concrete was laid 20 or so years ago. The top of which is almost flush with the concrete. Do I need to do something else over the top of this before I use a compound? or will I have to remove it and fill it...

Cheers Matty Really appreciate the advice ;-) Paul

Hi All I have read the wiki and sticky posts, but I'm a little confused. I have a slightly wavey concrete floor. it has a DPM and has been down for 20 years. The dips are max 5mm deep and I intended to prime then use self leveling compound. I am laying old pine floorboards over the top...

Hi All I've read many posts but couldnt find an exact match to my situation. I have an old victorian house, at some point floorboards and joists were removed downstairs and concrete poured in place. DPM is present, concrete is stable and dry and pretty much level. I have just got hold...

I bought the glue a couple of weeks ago from rutlands and its been kept indoors (room temp). Cant see any dates on the bottle. The tabletop is in the kitchen and its about room temp. I think I'll leave it overnight just for my peace of mind. Thanks everyone for your advice! I'll post...

thatnks guys. Jason, do you know how deep the staining goes? as I'm going to plane and sand the top anyway. The clamps ARE touching some of the wood. Does it make a difference if they are alluminium and not steel? Maybe I'll leave it for a few hours then take the clamps off. though I'd...

I have just glued and clamped up my table top - 6' by 3' (in a room not much bigger!!) The clamps are on and I'm pleased with how it has gone. But on the bottle of titebond is says clamp for 30 minutes then dont stress it for 24 hours. So does that mean I should take off the clamps...

hey there Yup, alternated the boards. took me ages to decide on the final arrangement. Didn't realise 6 bits of wood could be such a puzzle to layout!! It was stored in a barn so I stickered the wood for a couple of weeks indoors before beginning work I've got a couple of friends who...

Hi there I'm joining some 2" pine boards up to make a table top. the boards are all 72" x 6" x 2" all reclaimed wood. One of the boards has a slight bow. about 3mm at the highest spot in the middle. I'm planing to just glue and clamp the edges now I have jointed them and was going...

Hey Jason Thats great, thanks for the advice. I'll certainly ask them for the sizes I'm after. There are some lovely bits on the link. I think I may have to hone my skills before I'm knocking out things to that standard. What is the joint called that you have used on the box in the fourth image?

Hi There! First post, what a great forum! I'm a web developer and I'm thoroughly bored with staring at the screen all day, so thought I'd start up an old hobby again, woodwork. I'm looking to start on something small, maybe a box out of hardwood. I have loads of tools (my grandad was a...
