• 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!

The Niff-Naff Cabinet; shelves.

Yes nice, particularly like the small (non clunky) section of the shelves. That stuff is a beggar to work Rob, I would have been tempted to dispose of it some way I think! As I mentioned before I don’t think I have your almost extreme level of patience lol.
I’m curious about the B square as to why the corner has been removed by the maker, I would definitely have preferred it almost sharp to aid marks being transferred, I did look at their site and it’s various uses btw.

The shelves were quarter sawn as I mentioned Ian and so very prone to horrible tear out and other such nasties. I deliberately left them at 5mm from the planer thicknesses, knowing that I would be sanding off a lot of material to finish at 4mm. At least quarter sawn shelves ought not to bow or twist as I'd left them 'conditioning' in stick for a couple of months.

The little B square belies it's usefulness as it's something I reach for time and again to aid marking out etc. It's not cheap, but it's a nice, heavy cast iron gizmo to have on the 'Tool Wall' and after having used it now for some time, it's not something I'd be without. No idea though, why that corner has been machined off! - Rob

And you had me looking at it again with a covetous eye, then I saw the internal diameter at just under 20mm, looked at my fat sausage fingers and realised there was no way they would fit, shame.
