Make your own Oak door bar/ transition strips

[Burnsy]

I've done exactly the same in the past but i cheated a bit. Got my measurments and took them to Buildbase and they ran it through a saw. Cost about a fiver and looked really good. I don't have the tools but if you do then that is a brillant idea. Custom made and looks brilliant. Well done

I've finished jobs til after new year, so went to local timber yard this morning bought some 20x120 and went to garage to have a practice but couldn't find router anywhere, managed to cut 1 peice into two strips. Just found out bruv came around at w/e and borrowed the router should get it back tomoz so should have some made by w/e. could't find a source for "patina" on the interweb, where do you get it from?

I get it from a local Paint Supplier mate 'Peffer Paint Co'

The Patina is made by Langlow here is a link to an online supplier

Buy Aqua Marine LANGLOW PATINA WOOD FINISHING 320G Teak Cleaners at Marine Megastore Chandlery 15% off orders over £300!*

Best to give a few coats if you can!

If you dont have the router handy then shape the edges with a block plane and sand to a smooth consistent finnish.

If you need a rebate on the underside to overlap tile;

Set a table saw to the depth of the rebate required

Set the fence guide to 2mm and pass the underside of the timber over the table saw

Set the fence to 4mm and pass over again

Repat this until you achieve the desired overlap on the rebate!

Upload some pics mate when you get done!

This would require the safety guard and kerf blade removing though and we could not condone such an act !

 

[tfs]

Yes, lol

obviously do so at your own risk. lol

 

[tfs]

On another note,

Langlow is owned by Palace Chemicals, the company that also makes tile adhesives etc
