• 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!

    Glass for furniture.

    You have to use toughened or laminated glass on windows below a certain height. I use a local glass company I got 10 toughened glass shelves for a cd rack for £100 Pete

    I wouldn’t use a pop rivet in wood, a pin and epoxy will be strong enough. Pete

    Multimeter / s

    On any small power adapter the voltage will be higher without a load so it’s not a good way to test a meter. Pete

    Multimeter / s

    I spent years looking at Avo8s cracking meters, the only disadvantage is the input impedance is not very high so they can affect the circuit you are measuring but I have only had that problem once. Here are a couple of mine. I think I have three. Pete
