• 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!

    What to do with Off Cuts?

    I'd feel the same Malcolm... are they of suitable (if small) sizes to be used for marquetry or inlay pieces? Recut for such work? Depending on the sizes I'd be thinking of bagging up for such purposes and making available if I wasn't doing any such work/pieces myself. Either that or put in some...

    What to do with Off Cuts?

    Great question and one I've been struggling to put forward... glad you've doe so 😉 My tiny offcuts of such size you mention - plus some others over that - now get put in a plastic and trug and taken round to the recycling centre and put in the wood skip. I struggle with the larger pieces BUT...

    Party Wall

    Just get them to repoint it rather than render? Would seem more appropriate rather than being concerned about the render, paint and possible/probable future maintenance of.

    Pond revamp

    Agreed. As the pond is small - around 3,000 Ltd - the first filter unit I got was combined in a pump/UV bulb. Still runs but it was a PITA to keep cleaning out the sponge filters of varying grades and I couldn't switch off the UV if I added certain beneficial bacteria and such. I changed to a...

    Nervous about Surgeon

    Sorry to hear that Roger... TFCC or the Trepeziectomy? Any questions just fire away and I'll do my best to answer them.

    David Hockney RIP

    Thank you Andy. Possibly it's not the sort of painting that they want admit to having? The b&w photo (if I can locate it) is a bit on the gruesome side... imagine a fire with bodies being burned... smoke rising... and (totally unintentional) there's a face discernible in the smoke... The...

    Bedside Table

    Thanks Al for taking my suggestion to mind. The only other 'helpful'(hopefully? ) suggestion would be to try and keep an eye on them as regularly (as possible) and turn if you see any movement to try to counteract it. Also place some more sticks on the top ones and place a board or something...

    Terminology - Two countries, separated by a common language

    From the extremely little I've seen of 'American' football the main difference (apart from the obvious thing of helmets) seemed to be that they can pass the ball forward... UK rugby being to the side and back... when passing it in play. You'll realise I'm not that into 'sports' 😎

    Bedside Table

    Could you try applying a sealer of some sort to restrict the movement? Or place on sticks in a small stack dividing them apart - with a weight of some sort restricting movement that way but allowing further drying at air temp? Just thinking about the moisture content from when brought out of...

    Terminology - Two countries, separated by a common language

    American football - American... UK: Rugby - Union and/or League... (still not quite sure of the difference between those two?)

    Terminology - Two countries, separated by a common language

    Always thought basketball was for male players and netball for female players... 🤔 Sorry

    Nervous about Surgeon

    Sorry to hear of your worries and concerns regarding your appointed surgeon. Id definitely be getting back in touch with him/the hospital - especially the hospital - and making them aware of your concerns. I've had three operations to my wrist/hands area: a TFCC (Tri-fibro Cartlidge Complex)...
