use a router and jig,

. i find when using 8s it expands the mdf and you will see the ripples down the corners, even when pre drilled, wood glue will give a strong hold also

you can buy mdf screws id use some 2"6s or if you are new school 3.5 x 50mm depending on the style etc biscuits and/or dado joints could be worthwhile for a strong joint

could you post on the site thermo? i wouldn't mind having a look also

i would also board arcoss the face and skim the whole collum

the panels and plynth are both oversize for scribing, iirc the worktop should be around 920mm high with a 38mm worktop, as a quide the legs usually are 150mm

double post :cry:

cut/fit the lintel first then cut the rest down. 2x 4x3 concrete lintels they need to be 4-6" longer each side of the opening for the frame, fit a std 4" casing and plasterboard the rest

some 2" 8's will be spot on x5 screws across the 1.2m in every joist what about using 2400x600 t&g chipboard flooring sheets?

ive always used makita belts been ok, i have a makita sander if you can get festool belt to fit yours its well worth a try, i have a festool ros and the paper is good quality, lasts ages

depending on your tooling, cut the skirting off with a multimaster if you dont have one you will have to scribe the plynth, with a jigsaw and downcutting blade if you dont have a jigsaw a good old coping saw

hacking knife and a 12mm chisel. fein multimaster, ive not tried it but ive seen a video demo that fein made, on utube

depends on your budget really, id recomend the bosch gts135 of festool ps300, they both cut bang on, i also have a battery dewalt which is ok but not as good as the others edit to add, dont use cheap blades!!

you are correct its ideal when you have people working for you, saves giving them cash to fill up they just put it on the card,

deffo take the hard work out of it i would buy a delta sander (small triangle head) or a multimaster with attatchments, finger sander etc also a 6" random orbit sander for doors/larger areas you can also buy little sanding drums that fit in a drill that may be handy for the spindels...

use a router and streight edge, in a few passes, workes when doing worktops

if you are going to buy some trousers eventually, why not just get them now? then there will be no strapps cutting in back of legs

std height is 1000mm to the spindle

i do hinges with hammer and chisel locks/latches with a flat bit in a corded drill
