• 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!

    Reducing road noise in the garden

    A question for those who know about sound waves: would a crinkle-crankle wall be more effective for sound insulation than a straight one? I suppose the lower frequencies will still pass through, but wonder if reflected waves could help cancel out incoming sound

    WANTED Screw box and tap- wood

    Here it is, worth noting that that is as close to a shoulder as you can thread if that is important to the vice thread

    WANTED Screw box and tap- wood

    The last thing I cut was a tension adjuster for a spinning wheel I restored and the wood was a flowering cherry species I had lying about. The thread cut well without any pre-soaking and it was finished with some candle wax to prevent it from binding. Will try to get a couple of pics

    WANTED Screw box and tap- wood

    Out of interest what thread is that? I've used a UNC tap quite successfully for wooden fittings for the lathe headstock. The thread box looks like it cuts with a wider crest and gullet than a metal die. Presumably that's to provide a bit more 'meat' to the thread. Has anyone tried flooding the...

    Plant ID

    I'd go with sweet chestnut, Castanea sativa. Link isn't the best photo but shows it at a seedling stage. Juvenile leaves are often lacking the serrations you'd see on the leaf edges of the mature tree. https://shop.woodlandtrust.org.uk/sweet-chestnut

    Box moth second flush warning

    After a little digging it is a grey area, 2 species require a release licence from DEFRA, one doesn't. The one that doesn't requires a minimum 18 degrees centigrade and is mostly sold to combat indoor pest moth species. Two UK companies are selling it as an outdoor pest control so I might email...
