• 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!

Hovering around 27°c in the workshop. My tub of wax is very soft. Applied some on to my ebony pen having let the sanding sealer dry first, about 30 mins.
Left the wax for another 30 mins, buffed with a soft cloth which left it nice and shiny and left for another 30 mins before I started to assemble the pen. After handling while assembling the shine disappeared and the surface was sticky.
I reapplied the wax and will leave overnight before buffing .

I am being impatient in this heat?
 
It is seriously hot. I've been getting distortion in the foundation for new frames I am currently making for my new hive. it was 37C outside today, and 29C indoors in Kent. It's almost 9pm and it is still 28C indoors. No breeze.

Wax will not harden off in these temperatures.
 
Not sure what you guys are moaning about.

Today 4 days into spring we are at 27c.
From now on it only gets hotter.

Hotter :shock:

Hotter :o

I am painting the inside of the living room.
All I am left to strip off are the Jockeys, socks and shoes. :o :o :lol: :lol:
