• 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!

    The last knuckle of the hinge is not bearing any weight either way round. So I can’t see a problem fitting them any way round. Pete

    What I have fixed today

    Hi John Mine was clipped together no glue, start from the usb sockets then down the sides, the end was tricky but I managed to prise one of the clips open, they are the same as the usb end. Only £6 but a 4 mile meander through the store. Pete

    Reclaimed sapele

    I have had a look on the big screen and I am wrong, its Iroko. Leave some in the sun and if it darkens its definitely Iroko. Pete

    Disston D8 28 inch Rip Saw - RIP

    As long as you have enough metal left you can resharpen the saw. The missing teeth aren’t a big problem they will appear after a few sharpenings. Get a saw set, I like the record ones. Pete also dislexic
