Low Profile Flooring
I'm currently trying to find some Tassie Oak floorboards with the OLD style tongue and groove with a thickness of about 13mm.
Does anyone know a supplier in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne ?
Or would it be easier to machine them up my self ?
Thanks
Brian
PS what are the grooves or shallow channels for, on the underside of the floorboard (air circulation ?)

Haven't seen that profile for some time. Looks like a DIY job.
The groove on the underside of the board is to increase surface area and a change of plane or surface direction. This assists with warping control.
Aint woodwork complicated?

RUSTYNAIL you are correct its going to be a DIY job but with a twist
I purchased a small length of current flooring and have modified it on the table saw and buzzer and it fits a treat. I have a template for each different cut to save time and SWMBO is impressed and now knows why boys MUST have the appropriate tools in the shed
Thanks for your response
Regards
Brian

If you have impressed SWIMBO you have exceeded all reasonable expectation.
Sit back and bask in the glory.
