• 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!

    Everyday toolchest (tills)

    Following completion of the carcass and drawer runners I got on with the tills, which stack one on top of the other on the runners I had some left-over Cedar of Lebanon from a previous project for the drawer bootms and ordered some Padauk from Timberline for the sides. The cedar was squared...

    Everyday toolchest (tills)

    Readers of a previous project (diminished stile door in cherry, Feb '21) may remember that I received several exhortations to upgrade my B&D workmate into a proper bench. In order to create space for a proper bench I need some way of getting all of my tools out of boxes on the floor to...

    Workshop floor advice

    Not a build per se, but a request for advice please before starting. Back in November 2019 some of you may remember the name of the town of Fishlake near Doncaster, where the residents were neck deep in water due to flooding. The same storm that swamped Fishlake also flooded my basement...

    Diminished stile door in cherry (glazing & polishing)

    I used the waste from diminishing the stiles to form the glass beads which were then sawn off and cleaned up At this point I was able to fit the glass to the frame rebate, but discovered that my endless fiddling with the lock rail joint had lost me a couple of millimeteres from the rebate...

    Diminished stile door in cherry (glazing & polishing)

    I wanted to use a bolection moulding for the face side, which entailed making up a sticking board from 12mm ply to enable lengths to be made up using my weedy workmate. I didn't want any visible fixings so decided to slot screw the bolection through the panels, the screw heads would be hidden...

    Diminished stile door in cherry (glazing & polishing)

    The joinery here is standard mortise and tennon, and I'm sure that you don't need a blow-by-blow account of how to do that, but there is a small wrinkle to the top rail that I've shown, so on with the show: Mortices chopped with room for wedges on the outside edge The mortices for the...

    Diminished stile door in cherry (glazing & polishing)

    I need to make a door for this doorway. It's the doorway from the hall to the kitchen, and links the original (1867) part of the house to a more recent (2015) addition. We've lived without a door here for the last 5 freezing winters and the project has finally risen to the top of my to-do...
