• 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!

    Neighbour asked if I could repair his knife, blade is loose. German made knives (set) which he sharpens and prefers using. The blade is slightly loose, just pulls out the handle. Suggested new handle using American Ash. Cut a slot for the tang using the Hegner, and then some fiddling with a...

    Mike builds a teardrop (drawer fronts, & wardrobes)

    Looking very smart Mike! :cool: The ratan - as a kid we had dining room chairs where the back was ratan. Not great as it tends to get damaged pulling and pushing the chairs.
