• 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!

    'Owl' Cabinet....Dun

    It looks like a nice cabinet with some unusual details and should be a piece that will show off your cabinet making skills. Should be interesting to see how you construct it.

    The problem with old houses

    I have seen glazing bars parting from the glass within months of using tape from places like reddiseals. I wish I could recommend a good tape to you but unfortunatly I have not used the stuff for glazing bars myself so can't really help with tape. Maybe try applying some car windscreen...

    Always always put the riving knife on.

    Depends how you notch the riving knife I would think (if it is slot down and back should prevent possible lift). The slot on my dewalt is just angled but I have not had a problem in about 10 years or so myself. I'm not sure if a slot to fit the crown guard is regarded as unsafe in the...

    Long overdue project.

    I bet you wish you had got around to it sooner. I know when I get around to completing jobs that have been on the back burner for too long I feel so pleaed with myself. What's next?

    Abranet

    Thank you for the information Roger I have a rotary sander etc but not tried abranet sheets hence why I ask and from what you have said I should be looking into trying them. I'm still on my daughters kitchen at the moment and will only be using hand power for sanding on that when I get to it but...

    Dreadnought SS Guitar (Demo Time)

    The spraying looks very well dome Malc, I have a kitchen on the go which I hope I will be able to spray before the weather changes too much. I find July and August are the best months if you don't have a dedicated spray room but circumstances often dictate when you can spray and it's not always...

    Japanese clog making

    It is very interesting to see how many different machines are used in the process but of course the safety aspect is daring.

    Dining room wall unit dresser thing

    For some reason I could not help thinking that it does not look quite right and on close inspection I see the panels do not have an even gap around them which is proably what was throwing me, I expect it just early days in the design process which will be sorted once you got into production Bob...

    Application of Glue

    Yes I have read that too. I once visited Bolton and Paul (They were a huge wooden window, door and stair manufacturer) I saw them assemble window joints by dipping the joints into a tub of what looked like PVA so it seems like nobody takes any notice of... Apply the glue to one side only!

    Daughters Kitchen final stages Handles and floor now done.

    Yes it's not expensive for what it does. I have lined cam fixings with a pre marked rod before but the jig is so much faster and super easy to use.

    Daughters Kitchen final stages Handles and floor now done.

    Started putting some of the cabinets together and decided to use cam fixings so purchased the below jig to see how well it worked. With 14 cabinets to construct I thought it might be a good investment. the jig cost me £30 from Alixpress and it is very good and fast once you get used to using...

    Always always put the riving knife on.

    I made a riving knife for my Dewalt flip saw out of an old saw blade (it was second hand and had no riving knife or crown guard) maybe you could do the same. I put a slot in the top of the roving knife blade so I could easily slide the crown guard in or out without removing the riving knife.

    Daughters Kitchen final stages Handles and floor now done.

    Yes done a fair bit of cutting with MFC and find it a real pain with power tools but the CNC with the right cutter gives perfect results. The SCM panel saw with scoring blade is a god send once set up too. SCM are one of the best machine manufacturers of woodworking machinery I know, I'd love...
