• 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!

      Before deciding the final length of the lower sash (in reality it's already decided), double check with the pully stile of the casing or...

      Possibly a couple of posts as photo heavy. Without worrying too much about the final length of the sashes, the business part of the...

      I used the Beall Wood Threader Kit when I made my mitre jack. Tapping the nut was easy. The threading took me a couple of tries. The...

      One coat on the darker timber and two on the lighter stuff seems to work; very difficult though to get them to precisely match...

      Looking good... There's one thing I meant to say (which I am sure you already have in mind) and that's to stain all the boards, so that...

      Looking really good! I imagine it's quite a meditative process. Do you work in silence or listen to music while you are doing this?
