• 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've found some more exotics in my pile. Some genuine ebony, given to me by Reg Slack. It's very cracked and split, but one day it will...

    As Pete has said, the barn steel is likely to be stainless. There are two common families of stainless steel: 300 series and 400...

    Agreed Pete, proper 'old skool', slow setting epoxy is just about impregnable and once it's been correctly mixed, applied and cured...

    EBay. Corby bolts. They create a good mechanical fixing, without relying on glue or the risk of peening rivets in wood. Sometimes when...

    It was an epoxy-pressed tabletop that I took to the tip... I then subcontracted it to a local veneer specialist. I lost money on that...

    Steve, don't worry to much about peening the rivets over, the epoxy will hold everything in place. Your barn steel is probably stainless...

    There is no reason why the rivets need to be 5mm Steve. For example Kramer knives which go for $thousands ++ use a larger embossed...
