• 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!

    Cased frame sliding sashes with hand tools

    I’ll be following this closely. I’m going to have to do something similar later this year/early next. Thanks for sharing.

    Patio table refurbishment

    That look great. What’s the green stuff on the ground around the patio? Can’t be grass - that only comes in brown these days doesn’t it? 😉

    Glut of soft fruit.....tip for keeping fresh

    Makes sense. We had several hard frosts in May.

    Glut of soft fruit.....tip for keeping fresh

    Thanks for the tip. Our soft fruit is way down on previous years. Not enough water I think (plus the raspberry beds could probably do with digging out and restarting). Hardly any apples coming in our little orchard either. I think late frosts might be the culprit.

    Possible New Project - Trophy

    Thanks. One handle on each side I think.

    Possible New Project - Trophy

    Yes, that's right. I don't want winners to be reluctant to take the thing home with them through fear of breaking it, so thought the box was necessary.

    Possible New Project - Trophy

    I finally got round to (almost) finishing this. I needed to find an unobtrusive way of securing the spoons (in their box) to the base. I decided two loops of thin elastic (the stuff I bought is called hat elastic) would be the best option. These are just fed through small holes in the raised...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made...

    Funnily enough I’m making a plywood box (or trying to anyway) at the moment!

    I was literally just looking at that stuff and thought it looked good!

    Cutting brass door knob

    I think you should be alright if you go carefully with the hacksaw and files. Having seen your skills with wood, I think you'd end up with a square end. The end wouldn't be seen so the finish presumably isn't critical, but you could sand any file marks out and polish it if you want to. You'd...
