    Extending existing wood worktop

    My thinking for routing a square edge was to temporarily attach a square length of timber to the underside with a couple of short finish nails or similar, set it back a couple of mm and use that to support the guide bearing on a flush trim bit. Sure I guess if it’s on the underside there isn’t...

    Extending existing wood worktop

    Thanks. That’s really helpful. Would it be achievable to square the edges of the existing worktop all the way round with a router and then make a simple butt joint with square edge to square edge using dominoes or dowels? Would you recommend gluing the joint? I’ve seen varying opinions...

    Extending existing wood worktop

    Thinking of extending out my current wood worktops to create a small seating area/breakfast bar with a new length of worktop approx 400W and 800L and a couple of supporting legs.

    Polish concrete hearth

    Hi, I’m in the middle of sanding my floor and we have a concrete hearth from an old fireplace. What is the best way to polish and then seal it? I’d like to keep the old feature. Not looking for suggestions of dig it out and board over it. Only how to polish and seal it in. Thanks.

    How to hide toilet soil pipe

    I’m in Glasgow, prices are nuts here. But I guess if I’m selling and buying then you get both ends of the stick haha. Yeah I’m not planning on doing much work to it, it’s mainly just little snags to smarten it up a bit for selling. Thanks for your advice

    How to hide toilet soil pipe

    Hi, I’m planning to sell my flat soon and want to spruce it up a bit for viewings. When I moved in I had planned to renovate the bathroom completely and due to one thing or another I haven’t managed to. I’ve now decided I want a bigger place so I’m going to sell. The soil pipe on the toilet...

    Can this material be painted?

    Because of the glue or just because of the nature of MDF? I think if I can’t paint I’ll just get new doors.

    Thanks for the advice. What is it about this material that will make it a nasty job? The glue or the MDF?

    Can this material be painted?

    Thanks very much. So you reckon sanding it down to get the glue off and it will be ready to paint?

    Can this material be painted?

    Ah okay, thanks. Yeah it’s not my favourite at all. It’s really the material underneath I’m concerned about.

    Can this material be painted?

    Hi, first post so excuse me if I’m in the wrong section. I’d like to remove the laminate coating from my kitchen cabinet doors in a flat I recently moved into and paint the board underneath. I’ve removed a small corner of it expecting MDF and discovered this material that I’ve never seen...
