project ply line / racking.

Postby griffj » Tue Feb 12, 2008 8:00 pm

in all the years i have owned trannies, i have never paid to get them lined or racked out, but ive also never had such a great bunch to share my work with. :D
other traders that have seen the back of my van have allways asked who did it, i allways get a "really" when i tell them i did.

ive been a joiner for the past 18 years, but now i specialise in custom made kitchens and bathrooms
hope you like my efforts,

project ply line, sorry not mant pics here.

cant beat them can you?
i started using one about 2 years ago, wouldnt go back to using anything else now, not cheap, in fact bl**dy expensive, but pays for its self in time saved!

What size is that masons mitre jig?

I did a kitchen the other week, and a subby came in to do the tops. He cut the sink at 980,,. but should have been 930. He cuts so many stainless steel ones out at 980, he just had a mental block. Only problem with his mistake, apart from doing it in the first place..... 42mm solid beech tops. To say he was pissed is an understatement.
