• 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 trick to get it graphite is a decent soft shoe brush which has seen a bit of action with the grate polish. Apply sparingly and buff firmly but with fast action almost skimming over the lead came for a few minutes. It knocks the really black colour off and goes to a lovely graphite.

    i still lurk.... :) Looking good, less is more when soldering. Just touch the joints once firmly with a decent heat iron and move on. Dont drag it around. If you make up a board (chipboard with two battens at right angles from botom left corner) you'll find it easier to keep the panel tight...
