• 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!

    That's an interesting idea, although I don't think it would help with the "heaviness" issue. To get the depth of drawer that would hold...

    To be fair, 1623 was rather a long time before the first American dictionary was even written (1806 I think). The OED agrees with the...

    If you're drilling horizontally, try sticking a ring on the shank of the drill. You can see by eye if it's off left-to-right & the ring...

    The original rear handle was a loose fit on the steel shaft (the one I had to file down to break the peened fit). The handle is drilled...
