I've been meaning to get round to re-laying the parquet (dry) in herringbone to see if I have enough to stick it down.
One of the things that has been putting me off is that the flat is on the first floor and the mitre saw is in the garage - so I decided to make a jig from some offcuts that was the width of the hall, and use that for fit-up right next to the saw:
At this point I was happy that I'd got the size of the side-blocks correct, so made a simple end-stop on the saw, and cut 200 blocks:
This pile got a LOT bigger:
And finally I had it all laid out dry - I do have enough.
All that needs to happen now is a final cleaning of the blocks, and a lot of glue.
That can wait until I get back from travelling.
