• 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!

    American here in Oundle (Peterborough) - Brand new to woodworking

    Congrats on the workshop so far, it’s always difficult when doing woodworking in a building site, my saw is usable but getting rustier all the time grrr.

    I’m just imagining trying to remove the shed from within a brick surround?

    Variety of homes in Sturgeon Falls

    Nice to see brick houses again, not common here at all. But who on Earth would add such a different dormer? Thought this was going to be a political joke from the title lol.

    You need a rag and look who’s taken up residence, Video.

    Well done for rescuing him, is there a nest somewhere just above? Could have been his first flight.

    Puzzled I am and so was the V&A....

    Most strange, it looks a bit like old brass curtain track in front of the drawers, 1940’s 50’s? I can hear the little wheels running along it now! Seems unusual for a writing desk to have that full shelf just where you would want to park your feet though, must say at first glance I thought it...

    Termites!

    The lack of basic knowledge is worrying isn’t it.

    That’s quite a menagerie Adrian, those Robins are certainly tame!

    Recovering from an op- ideas of what to do?

    Sad for the both of you, hopefully to plan and this should be temporary, when I’m away from home and unable to do anything hands on I spend a lot of time designing, all on paper as that’s me. First of all it was the bench which involved a lot of research including putting my mind to having a...

    A question for the electricians

    Often coupled with an overwhelming sense of their own importance too. Thanks for that I’ve come across it many times but didn’t know it had a name.

    Retirement Project--New Interior Trim

    Must say Kirk, you Americans have made an art form out of trim work. The first time I saw skirting boards made up of flat square boards with a moulding planted on top was over here, much easier than cutting shapes right across the boards, also helped no doubt by a much greater use of air nailers...

    Wedged M&Ts

    Thanks for the pics from the Woodworker Andy, very informative as always, the only books of mine that weren’t dumped when they all become mouldy- far too valuable! Took me a minute to see any benefit in fig20 V, widen the mortice and then fill it in? But of course when the side grain of the...

    Possible New Project - Trophy

    I too prefer it without feet, possibly just needs a small chamfer?

    You need a rag and look who’s taken up residence, Video.

    Perfect soft safe nesting spot for an opportunistic bird, you’ll just have to give up your worst T shirt if you need a rag till they’ve grown a bit. Gill’s idea of using a buttoned cuff and sleeve from an old shirt stuffed full of rags and hung up in readiness has worked well for me, no birds in...

    What I have fixed today

    Those brackets are just for wooden shelving, haven’t seen them before, complete with holes for screws, and amazingly they are in the right place so that common sizes of screw don’t go through the surface of the melamine. Also amazingly I managed to find white painted screws in the right size!
