• 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!

    Favourite / Least Favourite Native & Imported Woods

    Iroko is my least favourite imported timber to use, I don’t like the smell & the dust from it is vile, I’d rather turn down a job than use it. Most favourite is Indian Rosewood closely followed by Lignum Vitae but there are so many beautiful tropical hardwoods. Least favourite native wood is...

    I’ve had a few jobs via Instagram over the years, I ask for money upfront which has worked well for me.

    Yes Scott have done for quite a few years now, a 30m coil costs £26 & I get 7 blades from each coil so very inexpensive. This is the bandsaw welder.

    Squares for track saws
