• 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!

    Welcome Charles. I take it you're not German?

    Water snake

    I believe that all snakes can swim. I've certainly seen both an adder and a grass snake swimming.

    Mike builds a teardrop (Gas)

    Yeah, I let an attempt at humour take the place of a sensible answer. I think the sensible thing to say is that most of the lower half of the front of the teardrop is behind the tongue box, which will have a painted canvas finish. I could put a square of perspex over the exposed bottom corners ...

    Wow, that spoon is astonishingly brave!

    Dust extraction.

    It's ironic to have this thread revisited and to see this post of mine. The following day I fell off a saw horse whilst doing this work and ruptured my achilles.

    What have you "lost" today...?

    Oh no, no, no......You've got me wrong. WE'VE lost these items, and a couple more. Not ME. Definitely not ME. I never lose anything. ;)

    What have you "lost" today...?

    Dog lead, tailoring scissors (shears), varifocal glasses, a grey stainless steel drinks bottle, the middle sized kitchen knife, and something else I can't remember. They've all gone missing in the last little while. It's all getting a bit silly........

    OK, will do..... although for those buttons to fail they'd need to pull a bolt head through 18mm ply. No harm in having a back-up.

    Thanks. I've had chafing strap issues trying to retain a bottle in place previously (OK, in Africa..but our roads are getting almost as bumpy as theirs). I was keen to avoid a repeat. I was going to use thumbscrews, but though that if some light fingered so-and-so was tempted to take the bottle...

    Mike builds a teardrop (Gas)

    I rented a 3.6kg canister of Calor propane and bought the contents. It fits neatly in the corner of the tongue box, which isn't a fluke: To hold it there, I made a plywood shape. It has captive bolts Araldited in from the underside: This was then glued and screwed into place: I have a...

    Fix dovetail screwups before or after glueup?

    Six dovetail errors in one box! I find that astonishing. I wonder if he did it deliberately as a teaching exercise in how to correct errors.

    OK, and I use propane as well for the hob in our kitchen at home. So, propane it is.

    Woo Hoo....Reacher's back

    I stand corrected.
