Idea on milling tongue and groove easily on some boards.

[s_o_n_y]

I have some beadboard with tongue and groove to install in a room. With my lengths, there will be an extreme amount of waste. So I was thinking that in the scrap wood, I could mill a groove so they fit the existing boards. Does anyone have an idea for a tool or something similar without having to go to a sawmill or buy longer wood?

Best regards, Robin

there's a risk it might become cluttered. but buy a mill?

But didn't they already have tongue and groove or are you thinking of splicing small pieces?

If it is end-matched, lay it continuously, just like laying flooring; start the new row with the leftover piece.

The ceiling is 4.8m long. But only 3.20 will be visible as the rest will be obscured by a glass/mirror door/closet. The idea was to have all the joints in there. But preferably not all in the same place.

If I then cut to get a tongue-and-groove piece for each joint, it results in a lot of waste. I was wondering if anyone had a brilliant idea since I'm a bit of a less skilled amateur =)

The roof is 4.8m long. But only 3.20 will be visible as the rest will be covered by a glass/mirror door/closet. The idea was to have all the joints inside there. But preferably not all in the same place.

What lengths of panel do you have?
4.80 is a size you should be able to buy. 0 waste in other words

3.60 are the ones I have. and the downside is that I have two packages that can't be returned. So I thought I'd do what I can with them =)

It is possible to splice continuously even if there is no end groove.

Especially inside a closet where it is not visible at all.
Just stagger the splices so you don't have two splices next to each other.

Thank you for all the answers. I think I have a solution. I'll cut away the protruding tongue (fjäder?). Then I'll place the joint where the wardrobe rail is supposed to be. That way it won't be visible at all
