• 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!

Cabinet from a piano.

That's a nice talking point. If you get the chance to timber-match the doors one day that would be the icing on the cake. Pianos, particularly uprights, are cheap-to-free these days, so I'm surprised that more people don't do this sort of thing.
 
I had to buy material for the doors. Doesn't quite blend in. Clients are happy. I suggested that they put some amber or darker shellac on doors to blend it better. Very low budget project no fancy joinery.
 
Scrap yard. Any unusable wood components feed the wood stove. Kept all the hardware. Luckily the clients disassembled it to get it out of their home.
 
I expect people know this, but just in case....there is about 20 tonnes of tension across the strings in an upright piano. If strings or the cast harp break on disassembly (not uncommon), it can be dangerous to eyes. If you take one apart to use in this way, it's a good idea to take the tension off the strings with a suitable square socket or tuning lever early on.
