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!

Lintle denotes masonry. A header denotes wood framing over here.
Interesting dado vs housing difference. We still call it a housed stringer on a stair.
US = moulder, UK = planer moulder?
Double hung denotes both sash as movable vs single hung with a typical fixed top sash. In true common usage it's just a window if it's a box sash type. Only something like a casement or tilt and turn would be identified as xxx window vs just calling them windows.

Slipped my mind to 
Leonard Sachs was the precursor to Blackadder surely?

(From memory) We are anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.
Now, why I retain that, and not when the car’s MoT is due, is a mystery.
Is there a US/UK difference in table saw/sawbench?
I used to enjoy reminding a US friend of mine that there is more than one ‘Math’.
