Been a long time since I've dabbled in the dark arts of tongue and groove - what's my best bet these days? A router? My handtools are all long gone - I don't want to have a buy a router but if it's a guarantee, if it's quick then I'd be tempted (though I'd also want to plane and thickness the wood I'd be using which is more cost I'd rather avoid. I've got a couple of planes still but not sure I can face it).
Alternatively, is there somewhere I could send a load of mucky timber to get planed/thicknessed and in some cases t&G'd? Is that something places do (i.e. collect other peoples wood, sort it, send it back)?
If not - is there any online service I can place an order with that would sell me me 2 x 160*50cm*40mm planks cut up with a tongue and groove ready to be joined to form a 100*160cm surface?
Obvs wider than standard 20-22cm so, if wood, it could be multiple t&g equalling that total or could be whatever - doesn't matter what material - just solid at 40mm (work surface / can ply withstand t&g?).
