• 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!

Mike builds a teardrop (hatch detail)

I fixed on the hatch side pieces. These are the offcuts from the main side pieces, just glued and cleaned up. With access only from one side, cleaning up in the concave surface involved only a card scraper........and bulk timber removal isn't what they were designed for. Oh for a compass plane! Anyway, here's what it looks like with the hatch propped roughly in place:

The white wood showing will be ebonised, and with a black seal going in the gap I think the join will be quite unobtrusive.

I don't think I've shown a view of the back yet:

Obviously the hatch is missing its black edge trim.....but fear not, it's under construction:
