Plywood cannot be left outdoors in the UK Climate. I'm amazed that people think it can. Just look around you at anything made from plywood; billboards, hoarding, blocked-up windows... if it's been there for more than a few weeks you'll see it's always rotting and delaminating. Use plywood for...

I use a router or trimmer to get consistent-depth for hinges.

Glue it to the floor / tray with some silicone?

Almost every sentence in that petition is factually incorrect o_O

You do know Spiked is liberal, not RW, don't you? And you clearly didn't read the article (or perhaps you didn't understand it). Also, it's you're, not your.

Too thick for what? I prefer regular-sized doors to be ~40mm thick, so 45mm for an imposing 8 foot door sounds about right to me...

Giving the state the legal right to kill citizens is, on the whole, a bad move. People who rape and murder babies usually meet sticky ends in prison anyway, without any assistance from the gub'mint.

Presumably that hairy fluff in the photo. You know, the bit that looks vaguely like asbestos (but is almost certainly just fluff).

This could only be said by someone who has never actually read it, but has been told what to think about it by Owen Jones.

You can use MDF for smoothness and convenience, but glue some timber behind the jambs for extra screw bite-ing-ness. I've made a couple of doorframes this way.

I get all my news off the radio or print. This whole time I've been assuming Chukka Umunna was a woman! (until I heard someone say 'he' last week)

And my point was if the same comment had been made by the 'wrong' (e.g. white, male, right wing) comedian the relatively relaxed reaction of the media, twitter, parliament and BBC would have been the polar opposite. I assume you meant to say left, and it would be disingenuous. Brand is...

What makes no difference? I know what context means, I just can't figure out what context you're actually referring to. The fact that it was meant as a joke? The fact that it was said by a professional comedian? The fact that it was on the BBC? The fact that it was said during a period when...

You can substitute a right-wing comedian equivalent if it helps you to understand. Imagine Jim Davidson making the same joke that eggs thrown at Gordon Brown should be acid, or something.

Reclaimed bricks

I remember doing a double-take when I heard that comment first broadcast while I was making my tea, as it was unusually bad taste for Radio 4 (or politically-correct FM as I like to call it). The trouble is the double-standard currently pervasive in the media (and social media) class. If a...

I think 4mm is too thin -you'll feel it flex if you happen to push it where a void is. I'd go with 10mm or thereabouts. I also prefer my doors thick, like 38mm.

I'd be more concerned with the screws simply pulling out of the MDF rather than failing. But by my calcs the solid MDF door would be around 50kg (?) so I'd have thought a hollow one would be fine.
