• 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!

Today i decided that i needed a rail square. Its been on the list for a while but I've been busy with other stuff. Not today though. Work had put me on reduced output so ill find my own jobs instead.

I took a nice big chunk of aluminum extrusion, normally reserved for exhaust end caps and lopped a chunk off. A few holes and a bit of some other aluminum I had and we are in business.

I made it to fit on one of the joining strips but then in limited to 1 rail. So I've used some square nuts for now and will make a gib strip for it later.

Is it square? Its square enough. Its also adjustable.

is it as pretty as a 120 quid chunk of anodised aircraft grade (which would be all aluminum, just saying like), nope.

Nice job mate. I imagine there's a market out there for those... :eusa-whistle:

and if I thought I could sell them for what some companies are flogging them for I don't think I'd be posting about it here. :)

I dropped it a few times, so it's now flown and therefore aircraft grade. :D
