    How to join a solid wood worktop

    Titebond lll sounds like a Marks and Spensor :-) hopefully it's not too thick so you don't get a dirty big glue line, but hey at least it's coming together or will be. As woody said I would personally do the oil or wax which just get waved or oiled out if it's marked.

    Bisecting external mitres

    That's internal as someone has said. To bisect it ie for skirting just use the same thickness timber around both sides, as someone said above. External is on the outside. Or buy a Bosch digital angle measure https://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-gam-220-mf-digital-angle-measurer/8498k

    Hinge Position on Doors.

    Just a thought - the hinge position being multiples of the 3 inch hinge size. So even if you forget your tape measure (and for the donuts) you could work it out. How did those without tape measure (and the donuts) work out where those stonking hinges went?

    Bespoke solid oak vs German factory made kitchen cabinets

    Again all wrapped doors aren't equal. But to circumvent that you could go for sprayed doors instead. If you go to a bespoke kitchen company they can be solid timber or MDF sprayed. So you either get the wood grain as a feature through the sprayed door Which a friend of mine does in various...

    Bespoke solid oak vs German factory made kitchen cabinets

    I would say the same, its wood they still move like any other kitchen furniture, doors are opened and closed endless times. Not all kitchen companies are equal I would say have a shop around and have chats with companies as to if they will install and if they maintain it for a period of time...

    Chased in CH pipes behind skirting board

    I would check how Bowed the walls are first, offer the skirting on that wall and decide what you need to hold it in place. At the same time mark on the wall where you know you can get screws in the wall where there's no pipes.

    Hinge Position on Doors.

    Someone said 6" down 9"to avoid the tennons on the old solid doors, which makes more sense than optical illusions and asthetics crap :-)

    skirting board profile

    If you can trace around it, you might find some have the top bit cut off which you can see, of you search for ogee skirting some places come up some in MDF some in pine but its investigating which is the one for you.

    Hinge Position on Doors.

    Kitchen Base Units - Offset?

    I would first check that the 25mm doesn't have a knock on effect anywhere, ie water pipes electrics etc.. Lay it out on the wall of you haven't already where unit ends fall. Sink position will change slightly so check that area won't be hitting a end panel. 50mm isn't that large. Sounds like a...

    How to join a solid wood worktop

    Yes without then, as someone already said PVA is pretty good, just ensure the joints are good and close and clean. Then clamp them up. Pack the boards up if they aren't all the same thickness, before nipping the clamps up gently first, tap any face not inline with a black and then tighten, make...
