Eg: 16mm melamine 600mm cabinet. - 33 cab stock, = 567mm - 26mm runners, = 541mm (total drawer size) - 33mm drawer stock = drawer back/front/bottom size

When I first started building drawers, I'd...

16mm melemine is usually 16.2 - 16.5. I'd usually deduct 33mm for 2 x side thicknesses. Those slides are rated to 45kg Im pretty sure. Thats a fair bit of weight they can take.

Sorry, I missed this. With b bearing side mounts, I always work on the smallest/tightest size and deduct 26mm from that.

All sounds easy in theory but great care needs to be taken measuring and...

Salice make a soft close undermount comparable to the Blum movento (tandem) soft close undermount. Around the $40 mark Trade.

When you talk push to open with soft close then you have the Blum...

Side and bottom mount are really the same thing. One can mount anywhere on the side, often the middle. Bottom mount also mount on the side but on the bottom of the side. They just have an extra 2...

Standard ball bearing side mount runners will last a very long time, its just the soft close or push to open feature which will fail. As a cabinet maker, I reckon the first sign of a cheap budget...

Yeah I'd say it's Queensland white cypress. Sold down here in Vic as cypress gold (brand name only) Great for posts and is termite resistant. Only downside is some pieces crack a lot even after...

As awful as that it to look at, hopefully it'll make us all a bit more aware of the possible consequences of becoming blasé with power tools. At least for today anyway. :B

Ive earned (still...

Looks very similar to spotted gum.

Paint the screws with the same paint as the handles first and once installed in place, touch up any damaged sections by spaying the paint from the can into its lid and using a small artist brush to...

Hi penpal. Looks great. Birds eye Huon. While I know that Huon pine can live well over 2000 years, I'm curious as to how you actually know the age from an off cut. Were you involved in the milling?...

I recently built an extension on a clients house. She purchased all new furniture etc and that (or similar) table and pews were one of them. Im pretty sure it was around the $6500 + mark. The...

The lighter coloured one is more likely Tassie oak/Mountain ash. (I think stringy bark comes from the same group of HW's but not as commonly milled for structural timber) I base this on it being...

I think the biscuit issue was sinking in the end grain. I use no.10's a lot, which when set correctly, cut the slot to about 60mm wide IIRC. Traditionally the pine has been wider than the hw...

Sorry KCH, I'm after a 3 phase for my old man. Otherwise its an absolute bargain. If I didn't already have my own 8' slider, it would be great. You should have no trouble selling it. But....:qIf...

Hi KCH. Im keen mate. But.... is there a problem with it for that price? Single phase?

I only live 30 mins away.

Hi. The fish logo belongs to Sandvik. Also a Swedish company. Probably one and the same company.

I always thought liquid amber was a classy name for beer. :cool:

Very nice. Looks like your sharp crisp mitres grew there.

Hi Busio. You quoted the wrong person but I was watching something the other day which showed timber remarkably like your sample.

The species is Karri I believe. A hardwood from the eucalyptus...

I think its ya standard imported south east Asian specialty. Rubberwood as is generally known in the deep south of Vic. Para wood. 90% of imported furniture is made from it It seems. Nearly always...

Hey hey hey. No need to bunch us gen x r's up with those y's Rich. :cool:

Being a little bit too young to have used one myself. A bloke I once worked with used to do the fix with one. Architraves. Mitres. But........ He said they are only good on the fine trim cut. As...

Yep. Those hinges are the go. Strong, quick and easy and silent. Mortice and tenon joints may squeak with all the twisting and turning, rocking and bouncing that can go on.

The heartwood and bark look to be white cypress? The sap wood is very predominant though, maybe not enough knots :qso probably isn't.

Would be a good gig if you could do it. Good hourly rate for something once experienced at, would be relatively easy on the body and soothing on the mind. (boring in other words) 2 days work a week...

I'll take the rest thanks. is that 3? Will take whatever is left after the above have been confirmed. Post code 3950

Ozka. Much appreciated.

My only advice is consider the variable speed option that best suits your use. I have Makita 18v tools but found the Makita multitools were all speed controlled via a dial, which is a real nuisance...

Hi Simplicity,
I'm hardly an expert in the field, In fact I know nothing about handsaws other than when it's blunt, chuck it out (or use for cutting nails, i.e., removing window etc) and buy a new...

I'd allow a day for the job (and I'm a carpenter.)

Any type of double doors 'can' go smoothly sometimes, but they can often be a struggle also. Usually because of the twists and bows in the...

Great Job Luke.

Love the contrast of the black heart sas. One of my favourite timbers.

Did you recently move (back?) to the USA and bring all the...

I reckon its just the saw scars. Rough sawn on a bandsaw mill. Minimal sanding to smooth out the high spots that will take a stain properly. The rougher deep saw marks will suck in the stain going...

Other than ideally cutting the concrete or using smaller posts e.g. 50x50 gal, If you go the wedge route, pour a bit of concrete down the holes first to secure the bottom of the post. Then use the...

First of all, lovely work and nice choice of timber species. You would have enjoyed finishing the last one off I bet:yes:, No. 40.

I feel that unfortunately, you'll never get what you deserve,...

Makita make metal blades. Available in all sizes from 160 -305mm. All available in the local home hardware store.

I was under the impression that these should only be used in a cold saw. A slow...

What about just using a round over (radius) bit with guide bearing on the router to do the insides Could do the out side as well if desired.
e.g., turn a 20mm x 20mm square/sharp edged ring. Use...

Hi Ian.
We must live within an hour or so of each other, so from my knowledge, jacking/levelling castors are available, but I have only ever seen them available from Europe. (online searching, as...

Not sure of the Importance of the seal but you can get a threaded rubber grommet that seals onto the flexi tube and then leaves a smooth round outer and inner that seals to straight pipe. Few size...

Rule 12 briefly mentions the term 'Murphys law' which is a rule that you learn very quickly in the building or construction game. Murphys law, to me, loosely translates to 'If it can it will'.

Expected this to be about getting on to some of that lovely railway sleeper.

Hi mate. Not sure why any one would criticise it. It looks the goods to me. In fact I can't fault it at all. But I'm no craftsmen, Just a lowly cabinetmaker now.

What timber is what, I don't...

Unbelievable. How does one dry out those huge chunks, trying to ensure that they won't cup?

Ditch the solid drawer box construction and go for the single wall metal sided drawer set. Also available in full extension. See blum metabox, or equivalent. Try the hahn, or Innobox, cheaper. ...
