• 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!

    Do you use a sticking board for drawer bottoms?

    I've edited to add a couple of photos. Again, do whatever works for you. Every bench needs a planing end stop of some description, but his way wouldn't be my favourite.

    Do you use a sticking board for drawer bottoms?

    Each to their own, but I look to avoid clamping down if I can help it. Stops and a doe's foot is plenty enough for me. If you clamp down, you still need the same stops, but you add in the schlep of undoing and then re-doing the clamping to do the next piece. Edit: I couldn't find any suitable...

    Fantastic! My goodness, what an epic this build has been.

    Mike builds a teardrop (hatch detail)

    I've been doing electrics for 2 or 3 days. Luckily, I have a friend who is an electrician, so he gave me an hour of his time explaining stuff at schoolboy level. I'm just beginning to get a grip on what I'm doing. I'll post in a few days when it's a bit more together.

    Patio table refurbishment

    Much nicer like you've got it, I reckon. Some "mistakes" are fortuitous.

    What I have fixed today

    How frustrating! Still, they've come up nicely.

    Aw, how cute! When they're 4 or 5 they'll start to realise.....

    Torrential Rain This Evening

    We'd kill for that over here. It's 6 weeks since we had any proper rain.

    Mike's ext'n & renovation (solar panels)

    Al, I've reported your post so that the mods can take any appropriate action they see fit with your efforts. I don't have a clear picture of what you've done, but I am extremely grateful you've done it. Thanks hugely.

    Mike's Workshop Build (Extension & slates)

    I've "liked" that post........but I haven't the faintest idea what any of that means.....:)

    Mike's Workshop Build (Extension & slates)

    Hello Oscar. Yes, this is as a result of Imgur's decision to make their service unavailable here rather than abide by UK law. There is a work around, apparently, but our forum is run by busy volunteers, and they haven't had the time to do the necessary changes as yet. I'll help if I can if you...

    Fire

    That's less than 10% of the total number of evacuees in France and Spain. This is serious stuff.

    Mike builds a teardrop (hatch detail)

    There seems to be little choice other than Victron. I hadn't wanted to spend so much money, but I'm at the "in for a penny, in for a pound" stage. As for the lithium battery.....when I first started looking at this project 3 or 4 years ago, a 120AH lithium battery was around £400. Find the...

    Mike builds a teardrop (hatch detail)

    These are torture boards: They're just thin flexible boards with sandpaper glued on, for cleaning up curved surfaces. You use them after you've done the rough levelling with a belt sander across the grain. They're horrible to use. I've been "fairing" the outside of the teardrop for a few...

    Are there forum issues?

    Yes, I've found the same thing, for 2 or 3 days.
