I would say no too. Cut it down to 2200 sure but ripping 150mm off a gluelam panel is asking for trouble.
Ended up with a 2200 x 600 pine slab and attached a 2200 x 100 with a 50mm gap for cable management. Worked out quite well actually but cost a whole heap more than this haha
Cable management is worth the $….is what you should tell yourself
how did you get a 2200 x 100? must be from a large piece of slab, but what will you do with the rest of the slab
I've been thinking of doing this myself for cable management, adding a strip of wood at the back and attaching with some brackets to my current homemade desk. Can you please share a photo of your setup?
You know stuff. Respect
What issues would you expect? I'm planning to rip about 100mm off a 2400x900 merbau glulam panel very soon to make a desk that is roughly 800mm deep, then use the remaining offcut to brace the desk underneath for additional strength (will likely also add a middle support leg too). I ripped down a birch glulam panel a couple years ago without issue just using a circular saw and rip fence. Only issue I had was leaving the panel exposed for too long (6+ months) without sealing it so it split a bit, but that was all before I did any cutting…
Issues for that young-looking Chinese pine laminate? Warping, splitting, delam, ripped edge exposure problems etc. I've seen many.
For your merbau? If you have the tools and knowhow then I don't see a problem at all.
@Deadpan: Cheers. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't about to make 2 expensive mistakes (got 2 desks to make, so that's $600 of timber I really don't want to wreck…)
@mattkenny: My table is made from Bunnings merbau with the rapid mesh table legs. Very good avoid pine as i tried it before and it cupped and bowed. Not worth the effort.
I oiled my table with cabots. PLEASE DO NOT it starts peeling flaking after heavy use. use whittle waxes expensive but worth it
. I think the staff on just CBF
That doesn't sound like Bunnings staff at all. They must be new. A good Bunnings stalwart wouldn't be found in the first place.dad? :)
They happily cut the 2400x900 version of this down to 1400x700 at Bunnings Alexandria store, no problem. The guy just needed a hand getting it on the rollers.
this is bunnings seven hills. most (all) of my unpleasant experience with bunnings happened in this particular bunnings.
They don't cut down anything thick like that. They do sell saws so maybe you should bf.
Weird I see 0231211 at $229 retail
But 029007 as $49.92I see 0231211 @ $19.75 (Fyshwick) and 0290007 @ $40.00 (Gungahlin) from local store.
How are you looking these up?
PowerPass
Will another Bunnings Store price match this?
usually not but no harm in trying
:/
Buy Australian made, buy sustainable (FSC, etc.).
Has anybody seen a similar clearance at other stores? I'm on the lookout for these, but I'm in Newcastle so not exactly close to Seven Hills.
bought one of these 4 years ago for a new office desk as a wanted a bigger "deeper" desk, sanded, edges rounded and gave it a top coat and its fine ever since. got an electric standing desk frame as a base
Any tips on what to use or how to reinforce one of these to prevent bowing?
Your best bet is to get one that's as flat as possible, stick it on a rigid frame and coat it with a poly finish ASAP, which will minimise the impact of humidity on the timber.
What material would be best for the frame?
I'd use a normal timber frame so it's uniformly supported along most of the length and width. Maybe still use the button attachment method for safety, just in case you do get any timber movement. https://www.woodmagazine.com/woodworking-how-to/joinery/4-wa…
@beeroll: You could also just use the bolt-on leg sets you can buy, but that wouldn't provide as much bowing protection.
Has anyone got a recommendation for a good base for these as a desk?
Really cheap. I tried to get them to cut one down to 2200 x 750 for a desk but they claimed their cutter couldn't do it. I think the staff on just CBF
