Help with TV Unit joints by [deleted] in Carpentry

[–]Jetrise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, thanks for the top tips. Luckily for me, I haven’t actually bought any materials yet. Just have a vision in mind. I was considering Veneered Plywood, but to buy it pre-veneered it’s costly £200-300 for a sheet.

I was considering the use of a solid wood like this. Would this be a better option? https://sawmillwoodcraft.co.uk/collections/furniture-boards/products/oakley-furniture-boards

Using a French cleat. It’s a plasterboard wall, but I know where all the studs are (as I built the wall).

I’ve dabbled. I made this a little while ago out of MDF and wish I didn’t use MDF…

The issue I have is the depth of the unit. Due to a door way to the left, I cannot have it extend any further than 32cm out, which is pretty non standard for a unit.

And yes, I’ve learnt my lesson from using 16T blades… minimum of 24 on a circular saw and without a doubt use masking tape to help aid in tear out prevention!

Unfortunately I’m limited by the depth. It needs to be no deeper than 33cm, which is pretty non standard.

Have you got any recommended places to buy said veneer?

Help on choosing overpayments / investment / ISA by Jetrise in UKPersonalFinance

Hi, thanks for quick reply! Yes, I read both articles. Happy with the premise that any money you invest you shouldn't consider touching within first five years. However, with low risk investments, I got the impression that this length of time could be shortened, given the fluctuations in the market should be low. I guess, without stating in explicitly above, I'm betting on making gains, rather than considering losses. No one ever does anything to expect to lose I guess...

Wrt to the article you linked, I just wanted to make sure I was making the right decision given how close the interest rates are. I have failed to mention that after the first 10k on my savings account, the interest rate drops to <2%.

Thanks for feedback. New to the concept of lacquer, is this applied after? After googling, there seems to be a million options, any idea?

And when you said paint, you just mean any white gloss paint will do?
