Thanks for all your replies!

Hi again everyone,

I am trying to make some shelves, 1.8m long, each shelf just 70mm deep. I bought some pine from Bunnings, but when I tried to use it on the brackets it turns out it's not...

Hmm, that's what I was worried about.

My original plan, to avoid drilling into the AC, was to remove the coverstrips, then nail on a timber frame (aligned with the studs). Then I could screw my...

I am wanting to paint some melamine, but don't want to spend too much buying laminate paint etc. I do, however, have some white knight tile paint & primer. Could I use the primer on the...

Thanks for everyone's help - I made my box/cabinet thing today and it worked out pretty well. :U

Thanks, Master Spliter, I just got your reply as I was writing mine.

And you said you tend to glue and nail now -...

Thanks everyone :) Will give it a go tomorrow.

would you recommend a 3.5mm screw like I mentioned? What size pilot hole? Like I said I am a novice :)

Hi everyone,

I am going to attempt to build a display unit for my shop. It doesn't have to look pretty, just needs to not fall apart. I haven't built anything before - asides from what I learnt...

Any ideas?
