• 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!

    Curved or arched rebate with hand tools

    Interesting video: I hadn't thought of turning the router blade 90degrees inwards. Seems I might be able to do most of the cut with the router and maybe tidy up with incannel gouge or curved sandpaper block

    Curved or arched rebate with hand tools

    This is great. Arc is gentle enough. Router plane and gouge might be the answer for the rebate from the tools I have

    Oak Timber frame (and formally a Diminished stile door (markup and cutting the diminished part?))

    Quick post. A little bit of detailing for fascia and guttering and a threshold step from a piece of slate found in the garden! (presume old fireplace hearth taken out during previous renovation and lucky find for me). Fascia boards are from left over douglas fir sarking with linseed oil paint...

    Curved or arched rebate with hand tools

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've never seen that type of router before. Google tells me its a preston 1386.

    Curved or arched rebate with hand tools

    I am in the process of making the top rail of a door that needs a rebate cut for glass. The trick is that it is arched and therefore needs an curved/arched rebate. I don't have a powered router but I realise this would be this quickest and simplist way. Any tips on how to do this with hand...

    Oak Timber frame (and formally a Diminished stile door (markup and cutting the diminished part?))

    I suppose I like the appearance and don't mind mixing styles. I probably started seeing and reading up on this type of cladding a few years back and having done other types, wanted to give it a go. Maybe mixing styles is a thing here: Castle ward house in Co. Down has a classical front and the...

    Oak Timber frame (and formally a Diminished stile door (markup and cutting the diminished part?))

    So after the floor, it was getting to the recommended max time of exposure for the underlay and I wanted to enclose everything. Once batten and counterbattens were on then it was time to clad. The mesh will prevent bugs etc making a home behind the cladding. I brought up all the siberian...

    Oak Timber frame (and formally a Diminished stile door (markup and cutting the diminished part?))

    Thanks, yes only a tiny amount of it is easily seen once the floor is on: completely unnecessary and crusher run would've been grand alone but I had the bricks and flags lying around and enjoy a bit of paving Exactly, it's a weakish mix but would be completely the job for a garden and normal...

    Oak Timber frame (and formally a Diminished stile door (markup and cutting the diminished part?))

    Yes, old imperial size solids. Reclaimed from old demolitions/renovations and then left over from other completed projects. Just had the right amount to fill the space between bricks and flags. The big stones are from an old farm building a few fields away. Tried to keep things as local as possible.

    Oak Timber frame (and formally a Diminished stile door (markup and cutting the diminished part?))

    With the outside weatherproof, i needed the subfloor sorted so I could work inside. This has a suspended floor over a void with good cross flow of air. You could of course dpm and pour a slab but I wanted to avoid concrete and plastic as much as possible and this is a well established technique...

    Diminished (gunstock) stile door

    Been away for a while and doing other things but managed to find some more time for the door. Needed to chop out the top mortise for the head rail. For anyone new to this, I use a guide for deep or through mortises and chop about halfway through both sides hopefully meeting nice and square on...

    James's shed

    You can purchase profiles matching your roof sheeting with mesh inserted but being in Northern Ireland which may as well be Northern Korea as far as importing materials, I fabricated my own which is a bit of a faff but much cheaper. Basically drill holes in the mesh and make a slice...

    Oak Timber frame (and formally a Diminished stile door (markup and cutting the diminished part?))

    Once the building was fairly well protected it was time to sort out the glass gable wall. I think the most widely accepted way to do this is to allow the glass to "float" on the outside of the timbers. Fixing within the frame can be done but is risky due to shrinkage. Placing glass on the...

    Wooden Router Plane

    Angle maybe sounds closer to a cabinet scraper. Certainly looks the part. Paul Sellers has a tutorial on making a router plane/hags tooth though I've never made one https://paulsellers.com/making-the-paul-sellers-router-plane-from-a-kit/
