• 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!

    Brass framed "Ultimatum" brace by Atkinson Brothers

    There is a spring loaded clip with a barb within the tapered receiver for the bits. You may have seen the brace bits which have a notch cut into the tapered square section? There is a captive ring on the chuck nose which when pushed sideways releases the bit. Lots of other methods were...

    Brass framed "Ultimatum" brace by Atkinson Brothers

    Six years of research around the world has gone into getting this very rare Atkinson Brothers brass framed brace back to what, from the known examples we have studied, is how we believe it should be. The frame, chuck and neck are in great condition but the original Ebony head had been replaced...

    Show us your dining table

    Oh how I would love to show you a picture of mine but it's currently inaccessible owing to a few too many boxes etc. Think rustic! Imagine a salvaged octagonal oak pub sign post floor to ceiling in the middle of a half timbered room with exposed beam and joists. At the appropriate height a...

    Oak dining table build (complete, and inside)

    As always a wonderful WIP from you 👏 (y) Personally Mike I would leave out the wedge withdrawal wedge in favour of a less obvious solution. To me it looks like something is missing/fell out. Alternative A (not easily actioned by subsequent generations) Suitable pivot point on the floor with a...

    Any advice on mobile phone battery replacement?

    I have a quite good (I believe) Huawei VIE L29 that I found great to use and as usual the battery gave up the ghost about 2 years ago. My replacement, but nowhere as good, phone is now reaching the same point. I have seen an "official" postal Huawei battery replacement service advertised and for...

    The making of a bell wheel

    Had the pleasure of a tour around this workshop and the rest of the works on a consultation event before the alterations to the visitor experience took place a few years ago. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. Cheers, Andy

    Template

    Always worth checking out Wickes sheet department for a damaged sheet of whatever you decide upon. Grab hold of a member of staff and ask for a discount. I have never had a refusal to reduce the price, often substantially. Cheers, Andy

    Sending multiple emails to one recipient

    Righto, success. Did what you said but it would not let me drag and drop. It did let me copy and paste the selected ones though. Thanks for the pointers Robert. Cheers, Andy

    Sending multiple emails to one recipient

    Thanks Robert, I can get the new email and drag the folder but it only lets me drop it in the address bar and disappears. Which is a step in the right direction, I'm on a laptop with no mouse if that makes a difference? I did send it but nothing was there. Cheers, Andy
