OO, and i was woundering if you could help me on something... My mums Boy freind has put a 'basic' kitchen work top on some timber legs in the garage, but the timber legs are standing on pure concreate, is that ok to do that?

If you don't understand about ''timber legs'' there just timber wood (but i call tem legs as there standing;) )

I dont know about wooden legs directly on concrete, I cant see a major problem, as many kitchen units are sat directly on concrete.

Internal angle for a picture rail

Hi guys and gals, I am putting up a picture rail and I have an internal angle that I need to cut.
My question is....(and please dont forget that I'm a newbie !)
Is there an easy way to calculate the angle, so I can set my saw correctly please.

loopylo, you dont mitre cut intenal angles you scribe them, just the same as you would with skirting and coving

you scribe because internal mitre joints open up, you also do it because its easier to do and easier to fit
