• 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!

    Post a photo of the last thing you made...

    Doesn't look at all crude. It looks great.

    Great stuff!

    Is it for a bottle opener? (Lovely work by the way)

    Chairs - Done!

    First woodwork since mid December today. It was cold in the workshop but it was good to get back into it. This is the template I made for routing the rebate in the front legs: As you can see, the "keyhole" shape of the template gives lots of support for the little router. The rebate came...

    Chopping Board V Inaly on CNC

    That's very clever!

    Chairs - Done!

    Thanks Mike. I'll see how this one goes with the router. It should be easy enough once I've made the template and found a way of clamping it on securely, but I'll consider other options if it doesn't go well. Fingers crossed...

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

    This is a really interesting project. Please do share some details and photos if you can.

    Chairs - Done!

    Well there's definitely a gap but it's certainly not the worst joint I've ever done either!

    Chairs - Done!

    I haven't done any woodworking for the last two+ weeks but have made some progress on the chairs since my last post. One big milestone is that I FINALLY finished gluing up all of the back bar laminations and have now assembled all of the chair backs. The other milestone is that the first chair...

    Disappointing car, great neighbours

    That sounds like a right pain Steve. Probably a coincidence, but my dad had a similar issue with his Suzuki Vitara recently. He thinks he has narrowed it down to the trailer. Something in the trailer electrics caused a fuse to blow which knocked out the immobiliser and keyless start. It might...

    Seven Heirlooms - Rear view!

    How do you cut the bone to length Malc? Is it a hacksaw job?

    Unusual winter weather.

    It's the damp/humidity that is the problem in the UK. It was 10 deg the other day and it felt a LOT colder than the -5 we had when I was skiing in the Alps the week before.

    Oak dining table build (complete, and inside)

    I made a bread board when I was at Edward Barnsley and oiled that with vegetable oil (for food safety reasons). That seems to have gone quite dark after a couple of years. I can imagine linseed doing something similar.

    Oak dining table build (complete, and inside)

    The V&A is a good idea. I was there two weeks ago. I should have asked! One of the reasons I ask is that I regret not staining the hymn board I made for a local church. I didn't really want to disguise the fact it's new, but it really does stick out like a sore thumb! My hope is that it will...

    Oak dining table build (complete, and inside)

    I think it looks superb. Can you add some photos of the finished under structure? When we see very old dark oak furniture, wood panelling, church fixtures etc., is that stained or has it darkened naturally over 100s of years?

    Seven Heirlooms - Rear view!

    Lovely. The sycamore reminds me of my kitchen table;)

    Another box WIP

    That's great. I really like the "scallops" for the drawer pulls.
