• 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!

    Lost! Now found.

    My Dad's best Stabila level was lost for several years, before it was discovered hiding in the gutter next to the garage roof. It seemed untroubled by the time in isolation, but the fluid in the bubble lost all it's colour from the UV exposure.

    Conversion - bathroom to en-suite

    Absolutely - such a false economy. I had the worst screws I've ever encountered a few weeks ago, on a 914mm barrel bolt, so *lots* of screws. Every single one looked like the miscast head you occasionally encounter in a box of otherwise perfect screws.

    Planning question for Mike G

    Thanks Mike! The deck is already in place, and has been for several years, so I assume is a non issue. It is quite high though, as the garden slopes steeply from the house, and the deck is terraced on 3 tiers. The middle tier is where they want the pergola, so I assumed I can only go to...

    Planning question for Mike G

    Sorry to hear you're finding convalescence so tedious after your injurt. It's no consolation, but I managed to open my hand up last week, requiring a trip to casualty and 4 stitches - Salutations to the amazing NHS staff who patched me up! To ease your boredom, here's a (boring) question...

    Painting MDF panels

    Another vote for twofussyblokes rollers. They hold more paint than foam, leave less edges, clean out better, and give a far better finish. I used to treat foam rollers as single use, which I didn't like from a waste perspective. The 2FB 10 pack I bought 5 years ago is still half full, and...

    Modern cooking — a rant.

    I'm very partial to Czech style steak tartare - they have it with fried bread, which you rub with raw garlic, before applying the tartare. The bread acts like a grater so you can get through a clove of garlic every couple of slices. I think they also go for a slightly coarser grind on the...

    Wedding gift table

    I'm really enjoying this thread Gary - thanks for sharing. The Japanese joinery is particularly interesting and has introduced me to several joints I've never encountered before.

    Mike builds a teardrop (torture boarding, electrics)

    You may have addressed this earlier and I've missed it, but is there any particular reason for keeping the tubular latch mortise in the edge of the worktop/repurposed door? It looks a bit incongruous now that everything else is lookingso spiffy!
