• 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!

    Worrier's Workshop

    If everything is square and level you will be able to fit with 9mm clearance, if it’s out of level 15mm is probably not enough

    Church Notice Board

    The bum cheeks on the joints is a good idea, a lot won’t like the look of them but will definitely help the joinery to last longer.

    Church Notice Board

    I know a few here dislike working with Iroko, myself included….. but from what I’ve witnessed over the years is that after it’s machined it has very little movement. Big mistake some make with Iroko is not to clean the joints of oils before gluing. Or use Accoya if you want zero movement...

    Making Liquid Hide Glue

    Veneered wall art

    I have very little knowledge of veneer work but my logic would suggest to make the torsion box with horizontals at approximately 300mm centers or smaller and fit the ply to the box, dress the sides or paint black.
