• 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!

    Parliament or Projection Hinge?

    Hopefully a straight forward one here. I'm looking to a hang door using either parliament or projection hinges. Nothing special about the door, just a standard pine exterior door, 44mm thick, 1980mm high x 915mm wide. The door needs to clear the reveals and vertical cladding and so needs...

    Sweet chesnut bench seat

    Hi All

    Morning All, in advance of me asking a few questions from all the knowledgeable folk here I thought I'd drop by the introduction section. I'd like to consider myself a hobby woodworker but with busy family life there doesn't leave much time for it. Mainly fixing floorboards and putting up...
