OH MY GOD!
Do you actually own any tools, or are you going to make two piles of wood and then put some planks in between them?

I'm fully expecting it to be a bit shit,
But it's to fit a non standard sized alcove thing and my dad had enough pine spare to give to me.
(, Fri 22 Mar 2013, 13:26, Reply)
Do you have a saw?
Because that really is the critical thing you are gonna need here.

Also, measure twice, cut once. And if you are measuring the size of the inside of an alcove bear in mind that the walls are probably not straight, so measure at several different places, and make sure you're measuring a level distance.

Finally, the best way to measure an alcove is to get two pieces of wood, long enough so that there is some overlap if you put one against one wall and the other against the other. Then you push them firmly against the oppostie walls and mark a line across both pieces. Then you can take them out of the alcove and put them back together where the line cross and you knwo the distance from one side of the alcove to teh other.

It's more accurate than a tape measures.

Nope but my dad has a standing band saw at home so we'll do all the cutting there and move the cut wood to my flat.
All measuring already done so it shouldn't be a problem. But if there is I'll bodge through.

I've just made two sets of built-in shelves
and a built-in cupboard in a Georgian flat.

I don't think I used a tape measure once for exactly your reason in point two. One of the gaps varied by 5 cm from the bottom shelf to the top. And the wall junction angle for one set of shelves varied between 140 and 148 degrees over 2 metres of height.

1900's builders. God fucking love them.

Our house was built in about 1830.
It's solid as a rock. But it's a bit damp and nothing is straight.

I've got a Balinese first-copy of a U-Boat watch.
It's a double "fuck-you" at expensive watch owners as it contains a proper swiss movement, keeps perfect time, is indistinguishable from from the real thing and cost less than £100.

I have a Citizen watch that is solar powered and sets itself to teh correct time every night via a radio signal.
so it never stops and it never gets out of time.

It was only a few hundred quid which I don't think is unreasonable for a watch.
