• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

      Now that I am in a boot I can stand. At first, it wasn't for very long, and only with the aid of crutches. In the last day or two I've...

      I’ve always known it as “2 to the door” but no idea why or where it comes from, apart from being told in to do it that way donkeys...

      HOJ reacted to Trevanion's post in the thread Hanging a door. Some finer points with Like Like.
      Yes, that is standard practice, also known in the trade as "most to the post". I don't think there is really that much of a difference...

      HOJ reacted to Trevanion's post in the thread Wedged M&Ts with Like Like.
      Because I do all my mortices with a hollow chisel morticer, I found the fastest way to produce the wedge space is to put roughly half...

      HOJ replied to the thread Mortice & Tenon Calculator.
      Had a look at you calculator, I would be inclined to add 13 (½”) 16 (5/8”) and a 19mm (¾”) mortice/tenon chisel size to fill the gaps in...

      DEFINATELY for me it's the first photo, Paul....curved. The alternative is to leave them square-ended, but with a generous chamfer all...

      Some very slow progress, working on the knee braces, for the tenons on these I used my Tenoner, which made light work of them: Then...

      Very nice. Oooh, I didn't notice before, Paul, but those posts should land on a plate. It's not only really difficult to get them to...
