• 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!

    De-magnetising

    It won't wear off in the conventional sense, since the 'natural' state is to not be magnetised. Magnetism gets applied to it by external interactions, and the demagnetisers will just remove that - there's no 'demagnetised' effect that can prevent it from being re-applied. As Al says, though...

    New Forum bugs/feature requests/dislikes etc

    Just to change topic away from editing timeouts... The site is quite happy to serve up the forum pages at either https://thewoodhaven2.co.uk or https://www.thewoodhaven2.co.uk, but logged in status doesn't transfer from one to the other. I usually open it without the www, which means when I...

    Being daring with 21mm sawn boards

    How critical is it that you end up at 18mm? Most types of project can be tweaked to accommodate a slightly different material thickness, so even if what you get after planing is more like 16 or 17mm then it's not going to be a complete waste.

    Any LINUX Users here

    You don't actually need to find the cross - clicking anywhere in the darkened border, outside of the actual image, will dismiss it.

    How would you approach this carcase joinery?

    I don't think you need a dado there at all - have the side-to-side parts of the dividing frame joined to the cupboard sides with either a mortice and tenon or a lapped dovetail, then join the front-to-back runners into them. That way the cupboard sides are undisturbed and available for your...

    Any LINUX Users here

    I'm posting this from an Ubuntu VM started up for the purpose, where everything looks fine so far. There's no real reason to think it wouldn't be, as all the common Linux browsers are the same as the popular Windows ones. Of the possible desktop systems, it's really just Mac you have to worry...

    Planning a pergola... and building it

    I've got a commission to build a pergola at some point this summer, currently in early planning. The client for this one is my mother, so there's plenty of leeway for collaborative design where appropriate. She's not fussy about the materials or construction, but I'd like to use green oak and...

    Displacement activity

    I decided I'd had enough of thicknessing 1200x350 boards by hand, and went looking for something else to do for a while. My brother had a birthday just before the lockdown easing, and had asked for a chopping board. So, we have an unnecessarily detailed and boring thread for everyone's first...

    A slow chest of drawers

    I've been telling my wife I'll build a chest of drawers for the bedroom for about the last year, and have finally finished enough of the distractions-slash-excuses (workshop reorganisation, electrical work, under stairs storage, etc.) that I couldn't justify waiting any longer to get going...
