• 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!

Not for the first time has a guy called Adam Lynch been mentioned here in relation to time honoured traditional ways of working timber.

A few weeks back he organised a weekend of hewing timbers in preparation for this forthcoming event which is to recreate the formwork for a medieval vault in a period specific way.
I'm not wholly conversant with the project which is supported by the AHRC / University of a Liverpool and will try to fill in the blanks going forward.
Check out this video which explains quite a bit along with others he has produced during the hewing weekend.


This event is just up the road from me and I'll hopefully be popping along to see what's what, as can anyone else who wishes to and have not signed up for the week long course.
Cheers, Andy

Just bringing this back to the top in case anyone was thinking of making a visit .
I certainly hope to pop along for at least one of the days, perhaps a meetup with more of you like minded folks is on the cards?
Cheers , Andy
 
I went on the intro day at the hewing event and thoroughly enjoyed it. I can highly recommend these events.
