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!
Display Case / Drinks Cabinet (Complete)

After various to'ing and fro'ing of idea's... the client has agreed on a 'Part Deux' / companion piece to the Display Case. A drinks cabinet.
Externally... It is essentially very much the same, the original was to be smaller in size however it ended up the same size due to the amount of glassware the customer would like to store, so to keep the (width) size/ out swing of double doors down we've introduced a pillar, or inset panel for the doors to hang from, this features more of the scorching detailing and a bit of a fun 3D effect running around the piece; might be a bit aesthetically 'Marmite'?
The inside will feature a pull-out preparation area and a stripy mirror and (grey) BE Maple backdrop...the making of which to be figured out; not unusual for me- HA!
Due to it's similarities you might not hear or see much of it until I get to the door panels and interior work. Though I may capture some risqué, shoot-from-the-hip routing to keep Mr G entertained
Comments and thoughts welcome...

Nice one Jim, good to see you've got the drinks cabinet, and looking rather classy and splendid if I don't mind saying - an absolute corker!
:text-bravo:
I wouldn't let little Rory Mack loose on this one just yet though.

Lol.... This is very true Andy, workshops and lack of sleep... Not good!... Shortly after our first I slipped the sharp corner of a chisel into my left palm and ended up having minor surgery to fix up a two inch gash! (Sleepy) Plonker[emoji25]
Let's see how we get on with the blow torch [emoji16]

I'm up to here...! The scorching work to get 6/7mm panels has been very tricky... These are 2mm constructional Oak on a ply core, with tiddly dominos jointing the strips.
I need to find or come up with an atractive solution to stop the doors from clapping on the cabinet when open... The best so far has been a quadrant casement window stay, thoughts welcome.
Miles to go...'bar-code'

Funnily enough I was buying a van full of oak today, and the adjoining pile was maple. Your previous piece crossed my mind when I saw that.
Now, I'll be fine, so long as you don't take a router to a finished shaped leg, again. That did me no good at all.

Thought I'd share a few photos of this bohemoth of a drinks cabinet, which seems to be taking forever [emoji24]
I'm about to fix the legs on, before progressing onto the external beading (free-style routing). Then it's glue assemble, fix in the mirror veneers and deliver....(end of July)[emoji849]
Oh ...and there's a lighting scheme to figure out [emoji848]
I've still not come up with a solution to stop the doors from clapping on the cabinet... Perhaps I should of used 'Sausages' (SOSS hinges [emoji3]) as their 180 deg travel would of done the job.
Anyway - I'm at that 11th hour delium point where I lie awake wondering if the whole thing is going to collapse under the weight of itself and contents (bottles)

that is gorgeous. I share your fears about the weight which IIRC is all taken on the dominoes that hold the legs to the sides?

Thanks Andy.
Each leg has Three threaded M6 inserts. Hex bolts fix through the maple stiles...(top, mid bottom) Then a stretcher connecting all the legs underneath.

Photo diarys are pretty handy, when you're trying to remember a process.... Especially on the back of another poor night's sleep...

Yep, I know matey... although I had a tiny tiny one of those "hmmm, hope Jim wasn't offended" moments, so I replied just in case. Although yes, it was/is a figure of speech - a southern male endearment from one bloke to another (especially Londoners)... but, I replied just in case. Have I already said that bit... Yup, in rambling mode now... :lol: Right, where are those beers!
