That would probably cost 10 times more than buying the blasted things in the first place. Plus more expendature on heating, who would warm the bed??Devil [6]

Dave I like your doors, etc. I made all the doors in our Cotswold stone cottage in the Cotswolds (where else?) from floor boards and they turned out great! How dod you get on with the different size toung & groove between the match board and the floor boards, or did you cut that off and do your own?

The only difference between the men & the boys
is the size & the shape & the price of their toys!!

Hi,

Can anybody  help, I want to make some simple kitchen cabinet doors of varying sizes. How should I do it, what wood should I be using and where do I get it from? Any help greatly appreciated.

regards

dc

 

I have just purchased , off the shelf, solid oak kitchen doors from B&Q at £35.00 each. They are beautifully finished. 3,4,5,6 hundred wide. You could not make this quality yourself at that price!

 

 

  Hi ok

        going to try and answer 2 questions here

           first B&Q doors £35 each ..... I spent less than that for the whole kitchen !!!!

  the post was for cheap .......

ok the doors were made from hard pine floor boards , I just planed off the groves at the back ( the antiwarp ones )but kept the t&g  and to get them down to 19mm thick (3/4 ") . then just router a grove in the frame and a tounge in the door to make floating fit

hope this makes sence, got some pics somewhere  will put them here if you want in the woodwork section
