• 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!

    Big problems ebonising.

    I thought they found about ebonising by seeing how horse urine affected oak? Have you tried horse piss on your wood? Pete p.s. I would make up a fresh batch of vinegar and steel wool.

    Next to each brass knobs there is a hole and in this hole lives a grub screw, you slacken the brass knob and turn the grub screw for more or less of a cut. The usual method is a screw underneath each side of the blade, but then you need to remove the blade to adjust it. Pete

    It might not work depending on how clever it is, the mention of maintenance mode might be a problem. You could run a battery in parallel with your electrolysis setup that might fool it into working. Pete
