• 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!

    Nice to be working on a commercial/retail site.

    I quite like that.

    Dining table

    Hi Bil I haven’t come across using Naptha as a thinner, looked it up and it would appear to have a few health risks, are they being over cautious do you think? I’m trying to put this into perspective compared to say French Polishing? I love the finish you got on the table and am a frequent user...

    Electrical mystery (DC). Can you help?

    Just a thought, could it be a break in the wire but still very close together?

    Dining table

    Yes nice, great finish on the top, what did you use please? Difficult to see but it looks like you’ve fitted a thin subframe on top of the legs?

    Post a photo of the last thing you made...

    Good work around Doug, but as I’m sure you know you will be needing a third and fourth rack the way you’re going lol. Edit, I had an open fronted wooden box fastened to the wall and anything shorter than 400 mm went into that, this freed up space on my racks and almost as important I knew which...

    Look after yourselves chaps!!

    Not much to add I’m afraid but sad and feel for you.

    Wellington & Manawatu Railway.

    Don’t suppose a simple push in plug fitting would survive the vibration, how about a screw in Edison type, they are made as connectors utilising the same thread as the light bulbs. Ian

    Help with Kingsway Group continuous hinge swing door system please

    No, the LH side hasn’t moved it’s the wear between the fingers that has allowed the door to drop, must say it doesn’t look enough to cause the cog problem though. I like your possible way to adjust the cogs, be good if it’s as simple as that.

    Help with Kingsway Group continuous hinge swing door system please

    Whilst I have no special knowledge of these, it looks to me as if the washers and fingers have worn and the door has dropped a bit disconnecting the teeth at the top. Be interesting to see what’s up there above the plate.

    What to do with a bit of bog oak...

    Wow! I thought at first I was looking at polished cast iron. So, it says it’s carved from Oak, or is it bog oak?

    Stool design.

    Well it’s fairly normal to have through tenons with wedges, probably desirable, even if they need pairing down a little after the thickness of the seat reduces due to shrinkage over time. A chamfer around the edge stops it digging into the backs of your legs, (unless the stool is very low) and...

    Threading like Grandad

    Yes of course, when I wrote it I was thinking how poisonous that mercury would have been. That much tin would have been expensive but I don’t suppose it was lost/used and the process earned a fortune.

    What I have fixed today

    Hope it helps Lons. As someone once said, “tricky things women” I damaged the surface of a favourite table last night and was expecting a lot of earache but no, accidents happen! Ian

    Threading like Grandad

    Fascinating that you’ve managed to recreate all that history just from a pencilled name and address Andy, great detective work! Presumably he was there when the float glass system was being developed, molten glass floating on Mercury in long baths if I remember correctly. Ian
