• 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!

    Heads up on this sad sale.

    I have a friend who studied sound engineering at Southampton. Then went on to work at Arups for 20 years doing opera houses, theatres, arenas etc. His was definitely a top class sound degree!

    Heads up on this sad sale.

    It's crazy that they give so much money away to the arts, city of culture, etc etc. Yet stuff like this doesn't get funded it's madness... Our worlds gone mad, I blame the celebrities, the influencers, the YouTubers. You'll have 100 kids flocking up to do dance (nothing wrong with dance...

    Using a Track Saw for Rip Cuts Instead of a Table Saw?

    How hard would it be to make a plywood storage rack out of OSB with a bottom rail of 4x2. Then leave you plywood on it but when your wanted to cross cut you put a triangle of ply onto of your and run your circular saw up the sheet perhaps with a counter weight to a pulley above?! Length cuts...

    Building your own kitchen cabinets?

    All good advice im away off all this tbh until I actually have possession of the house but it's only me living there and the kitchen is the one room that needs replacing. Problem is replacing it will probably cost £5k cheaply or £10k lower mid level.... 16 x 8 double sided galley kitchen.

    Building your own kitchen cabinets?

    How did you make the cabinets? Mike G cabinets look nice but I think a bit too much work for me..I'm thinking 18mm ply for strength... 12mm ply drawers. Is 18mm a bit thin for doors if so 20-22mm might be better. I can get some par at that size easily enough. 5-6" width / shallow drawers...

    Trading Wherry 'Lady Garnet'

    Why did you choose a wherry over a 1/2 sized barge or a Humber sloop? Planks are going to be hard to steam and fasten? Will the planks be jointed I'm guessing so? Oak so no glues used?
