• 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!

Ever needed a plumb bob but not been able to find one.

I improvised this some years back while working at my FIL's

worked a treat
 
Not always as easy a tool to use as one may think.

Slightly better with some woven cord, which took a long time locally to find, and pricey,
for silverline "heavy duty" bricklayers stringline and pins.
Suppose that might be a good thing they were so expensive, as I'll take care of them :lol:

These blocks are a big help to say the least, and will keep the line where you want, even when shaken violently will stay still!
compared to the smallest breeze on an unrestrained line which might drive someone nuts and take a long time to settle again.

And another tip which may well help matters is the lighting.
