• 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!

I apologise as this is not wood but Aluminium box section 50mm x 25mm. I believe this term is used by carpenters so I am hoping that someone can explain, how to or where to find the information on Kerfing. I want to make a aluminium frame that follows the curves on a camping trailer. I can only think about cutting slots to form the curves but don't know where to start. The profile is below. Any help gratefully received. . .
Mike

Watching the craftsmen rebuilding parts of the Avro Lancaster at East Kirkby, they show shrinking the aluminium on an inside curve and stretching it on an outer curve using a press thingy that does that. It's a bit oaf a craft.
