• 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!

    Window opener swelling

    Heres a pic of what i used which and im not sure why is in German i think, i have had it for approx 4 years. One thing i did notice is that it took a long time to dry days i think and even then it felt very oily if that makes sense. I dont believe it to be any different to the next pic i posted...

    Window opener swelling

    I have to say i went on the Osmo website but not anywhere to the degree of the link you sent me, the product i used is a exterior clear protection certainly not the "extra" nor did i apply a base coat firstly. Looks as i will have to re think my finishes, i have already coated the next window...

    Replace saw blade or renew

    Thankyou for your information, the saw is Kity and speeds constant also alignment is good however there could well be a build up of resins or what ever it is. I do try and cut in one pass if possible for accuracy and speed, rip depths range from 30mm up to 90mm ish so my thinking is 24T would be...

    Replace saw blade or renew

    I’m using a Makita 270mm 24t blade, new £35 and it’s been great initially & used so far to make two oak windows (3 casements each) and its dulled starting slightly burning marking the timber so my question is: do i accept that for every two windows i need a new blade? Get the blade sharpened...

    Insperational ideas please
