Yes . Because my joinery skills are shit 😁 . I know I could buy cheap doors and get a joiner to install . Much prefer I feck it up myself and then fix .

cheap 1/4" router and a jig. Can do the lot and its bang on. Trend sell the kits.

Jig is easy to make, trend one is good but overkill. Look on youtube

[Pocster]

No guys ! . Have you not learnt ! . It requires skill and time .

 

Me not do . Me want easy option . Me want less work not more .

[Pocster]

I know you want me to do the joinery myself .

 

So you can post “ try a sharp chisel “ , “ did you hold the wrong end of the hammer “ , “ did you close your eyes rebating that hinge “ etc. etc. etc.

 

Not doing it !

Go into Benchmark and tell them Howdens have offered you a really good deal and they will beat it

agree, i made one for doing the latches out of 2 pieces of batten and an offcut of mdf. it sits tight to the floor so no measuring to get the latch routed at exactly the right height. 

 

can never have too many jigs really, from piloting for handles in kitchen to routing skirting to save time scribing (route the whole stack one after the other).

 

A really good chippy to follow on utube is The Tall Carpenter, he has many many jigs to save himself time.

Yes, why not, turn something tough, into something tough and bad tasting.
