I need to buy some dowelling. Probably 20 lengths of 5' x 8mm. Where can I go that isn't B&Q at £2.48 per 8' length? Reply to this message | Report message

If you can, wait until you go back to France. Amazingly, although prices of near enough everything are dearer I've found that wooden mouldings are cheaper than UK in the DIY sheds of France. Reply to this message | Report message

Thanks for suggestions, but: CGN: 1 metre is shorter than 5'. RTJ: Screwfix - 1m lengths, that was my first place DE: last time I went to France, was Paris by Eurostar... not sure when the next time will be! Reply to this message | Report message

My local timber merchant, Champion, charges £1.41 for an 8' length of 9mm pine or £1.72 in hardwood. If I remember correctly they are 'Richard Burbidge' brand which is available widely. Reply to this message | Report message

I too am intrigued about using dowelling that is 5 feet long. I thought Mapmaker was going to cut it down to smaller lengths to use it as dowelling. Reply to this message | Report message

>> OK -I'll start the bidding: >> >> He's building a massive kite. NAh, at 5 feet in length, 8mm dowling has insufficient strength. Scale model of a Log cabin, or a Viking long boat. Reply to this message | Report message

I think you know what I meant. Dowelling is usually used to stick in bits of furniture in holes to join two bits together. Often used in build it yourself furniture to align things whilst the fittings are tightened etc. If you need 5' of dowelling then you're obviously not using it for what I thought it was normally used for.

MM isn't shy in letting us know he's careful with money. My second guess is they're for imitation steel security bars over the windows of a basement flat in dodgy South London. Don't forget to lather on the gloss paint with a few thick runs to make 'em look really old, MM. Reply to this message | Report message
