• 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!

    A Japanese style garden shed

    Have you noticed much difference in fitting compared to previous? I'd imagine there would have been shrinkage that might have eased fitting individual pieces. That said, your picture above doesn't appear to show any gaps at all

    Seven Heirlooms - Rear view!

    Sounds hopeful that you'll get your cases issue sorted. Some companies will chance their arm with customers and it probably had a lot to do with the specific person you're dealing with, their knowledge and experience etc. On another note, I'd like to also say how stunning the instruments are. I...

    Looks great! Now, when you re-raise a frame do you have another topping out branch attached?

    Cased frame sliding sashes with hand tools

    The sash so far. At this stage the glass could be ordered. If I get the other sash to this stage I hope to have glass this week.

    Cased frame sliding sashes with hand tools

    Some notes on glazing bars. These are for the lower sash, the left most one a horizontal and left complete for strength), the other 2 verticals and will each be cut in 2 eventually. All get a glazing rebate gauged into them. The horizontal has its mortices cut already. It's much easy to get the...

    Cased frame sliding sashes with hand tools

    The stiles cannot be rebated in the same way before adding in extra steps as the plane doesn't have a clear run. So this bit takes a bit extra time. The front and rear portions need removed so that the plough can take out the middle section. The rear part needing removed must be at least the...

    Cased frame sliding sashes with hand tools

    Rebates and grooves in the main pieces of the sashes. The meeting rail is easy. The glass is 3 to 4 mm thick so a slightly more than 6 mm (1/4") width groove (working in imperial and metric) lines up on the exterior side of the mortises and ends up between the tenon and slot tenons. The piece...

    My cyclone set up

    This is very inventive and the topic completely new to me. I had never heard of these cyclone units before but now feel I need to have one (though still not entirely sure why!). I have a camvac attached directly to my bandsaw and that's it. Does the cyclone protect the vacuum unit?

    Cased frame sliding sashes with hand tools

    Upper sash basic joinery done on rails and stiles. Just a quick post as the process is quite similar BUT with one important change for the upper sash when laying out. Reference face is from the exterior: doesn't have to be but I find it easier. As the meeting rail protrusion is now towards the...
