wood working

[Danni BurnsParticipant @danniburns84841]

Hi all

Is this forum for just metal works? Or carpentry also?

I need some oak strips/beading – I’m not in the trade and don’t know where ro get this without getting ripped off. Cheers

depends what and how long its not too bad to make pieces about 2 foot long if you make a planing box I made all my timber strips and cladding for my living van (2 inch) like that and the timber comes out within a few thou of the intended size. You need a good lack plane with a VERY SHARP blade.

Depends what sizes you are looking for, and where in the country you are based.

Local Timber merchant, independent DIY shop, or Joinery/Kitchen manufacturer would be a good choice. Builders Merchants and large chain DIY shed not such a good choice.

If it is just a few small bits that will fit in an envelope, or if you are near East Yorkshire, then I may be able to help, as Joinery Manufacture is my job.

(If you call it Engineered Wood, then no one can complain, that you have dared to mention the, “Brown Stuff” !!!)

Mark.

Do you have a Men in Sheds near you? Mostly they do wood rather than metal. Check at
