What Planet are they on?
Hi All
There I was flipping through a copy of "The House Book" http://www.amazon.com/House-Book-Edi.../dp/0714839841 at a customers place today. I happened upon the "Refurbish Your Kitchen" section. It suggested replacing kitchen cabinet doors using Beech veneered MDF. It was apparently easy! "Cut to size using a handsaw" it said. No mention of chipping the veneer, or getting a straight cut. No mention of what to do about the edges. "Drill new holes for concealed hinges using a spade bit". No mention of what to do about the point breaking through. "Mark handle positions using a spirit level". The pictures showed a door on a bench, with the handle positions being marked with a combination square. The 'What You Need' box said you needed a spirit level, no mention of a square. Who writes these books? -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |
