• 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!

    I find it slightly strange reading this that folks would spend many hours on a project using wood that is so expensive these days only...

    Mike G reacted to Dr.Al's post in the thread Old Glue - an experiment with Like Like.
    That's an entirely fair point. For me the investigation was less about cost and more about waste: I've got very frustrated by having to...

    General purpose? No, no way. Far too fiddly and messy. However, I've just glued up a couple of scarfs in long oak boards which are then...

    I've used quite a lot of West Systems epoxy recently, including for gluing. It has two or three huge advantages over other...

    Yeah, my brother's was like that. With a manual change-over valve between the two tanks. With practice you could stall through lack of...

    When we drove trans-Africa in '94-'95, the other vehicle was a Series 11A 110. Never mind the fuel...it consumed almost as much oil as...

    Yeah, because otherwise, pre-galvanised chassis, the alternative was welding patches on every few years.
