So where would america have launched "their" invasion europe from (in order to save us from 'zee germans') had the ROYAL AIR FORCE not held out agaist a year long bombardment our our towns, cities, and airfields so that 'zee nazis' gave up invading good ol' GBR? fooking long way to paddle across...

hope that makes sence...[/img]

i would have 1 tennon, stopped at about halfway. You could go further and put a haunch on both tenons so they lock together. I would also put the self on a rail between the stiles/legs - also M'T'd then run a length along the front and back of the shelf, glued and screwed to stop the shelf...

would advise treating any cut end grain. if you look through the cross section where cut you should be able to see the depth the treatment has soaked in. B&Q do pots of end grain preserver for a couple of quid - (intestingly enough i couldnt find any at my timber merchants?!?

would agree with Deluks, cordless will be under powered compared to corded, if cordless is a must though, it makes sense to get the same make as any other cordless kit you have and cross match the batts! be prepared to buy extra ones though as they will eat through batteries during the course of...

Another option would be to use mortice and tenon joints (if unsure google, mortice and tenon joint). they would produce strong joints, and if made a bit on the 'loose' side can be tightened up small wedges cut from the off-cuts, and pushed in when gluing up. Depending on how much weight you...

Did you use pressure treated timber? Did you treat the cut ends? In either case there are a number of decking treatments on the market you could use, ronseal, cuprinol etc even thompsons waterseal can be used on wood, and is clear if you like the wood colour.

If you get a standard cill from your timber merchants it should have a square solt in the back to fit a rebate in the back of the window board to slot into. They will be able to supply the window board as well at the same time if you wish. These will should also be available in different...

Edging bead is what is says "edging", not "corner". it is used mainly where the edge of the plasterboard will be exposed at the edge, near a door for example. If you already have this type then you could use one, and put a chamfer on the second sheet of plasterboard with a rasp. I suspect...

You don't have to, but if you drill out first there's less to have to chisel out, don't be tempted to try and drill out the whole lot, or go right to the endges though!!! 3/4's drilled out is more than plenty. had you thought about making the mortices blind? (not all the way). might look...

Firstly I'm no carpenter, but have recently been doing the same for window frames.... I can recommend the following, for the morices make sure you have decent chisels (of appropriate sizes), when i say decent, the most important is SHARP (blunt chisels are neither use, nor ornament)...

I'm looking at doing an inlay - routed into and external wooden door. The door is soft wood, and i was hoping to inlay with a dark (hardwood). Once done, am i likely to experience any adverse effects due to expansion? has anyone done/seen this (successfully or otherwise) before? due to the...

Have you seen the adhesive corner beading? screwfix and the like do it in rolls - not used it myself, but seen it used to good effect.... The other thought i had would be cut "wedges", noggins cut to fit in the gap, then mark where they are on the first bit of plaster board, and nail a...

Eaton, where is the job - can I assume that the guy is living in a house off base, and the work is there? If it is, then the guy is either a dumb bum, or a liar, as they pay tax on everything they buy off base. the only time they don't pay tax if when they pop down to the BX to buy...

:lol: As opposed to filling them in again..... I was thinking more along the lines of for what purpose, just holes, or have you used then for channelling as per the bumpf. I think'll bit the bullit and try a single one before spashing out for a set - nothing ventured..... Cheers for...

Yes i agree, the Bosch spade are great! I do find however that great care is needed for blind holes in soft wood (counter bores etc) where the bits pull-in rather fast and hard, and you end up too deep. What sort of use have you had with MAD bits on the bench?

Cheers AME, my faith has been restored! That was in fact the undoubtadley going to be the final answer, water, electric and strucural are deffinatly the three areas i like to stay well away from. In fact, with the clay i've got in my back garden, anyone one would definately WANT me to dig...
