• 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!

    Making another stool WIP - Finished!

    You can put a big elastic band round two legs to show the angle to drill, if you twist the leg round slightly to clear the drill bit you can drill the hole using the elastic band to line up the drill. Pete

    Which router bit

    I have done a 1/4” round over in one pass on 10mm aluminium bar with a cheap 1/4” cutter. It was easy to do. A solid carbide slot drill would breeze through the job Pete

    An older chap down the road from us did a similar thing had a new automatic car delivered and the next morning he reversed at speed across the road in to a drive way demolishing a fence and ripping a gas pipe off the wall. I am glad no one was hurt. Pete
