Ask a Carpentry Question
Welcome to the Forum
This is the page to ask your carpentry question because although I'm adding information here all the time, it's impossible for me to include every possible circumstance you might encounter.
Your question and it's answers will create your very own unique page here at carpentry tips and tricks!
Unlike other 'forums', you don't need to register your details or create an account and password. All you need is an e-mail address and a good detailed description of the issue you have or problem that needs solving.
*Important*
Vague questions that don't have enough information or pictures can't be answered here.
For example, don't ask "how do I fix my door", because nobody will know what's wrong with it. Explain what is wrong with the door, how it's not working properly and what you've already tried etc.
Upload photos to really help you get the best possible answer!
Asking a question about any aspect of carpentry is easy!
Simply follow the instructions when prompted.
Ask your question in as much detail as possible, so you can receive an answer with enough detail.
