• 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!

    Cereal shovel...

    Mine are easy & simple. Sunday oats with brown sugar and cinnamon. Other days alternate between home made health rusks (wife bakes) and brown bread with cheese and tomato. (not toasted, give indigestion) Eggs are one of the evening meals.

    Do we learn from past mistakes?

    No. No, and No. Cannot blame the FUF's visits. I am making two small trays, frame from Pine scraps and will do a WIP. The scraps were thicknessed and a groove routed for the floor. The corners would be overlaps. All nicely marked and a template to set the saw height. Parked the project for...

    Where were you …

    I was sitting in the factory boardroom getting my papers sorted for overseas factory visits and watched on the TV. Difficult to believe. We were flying the next evening to UK onto France, Belgium and N/Ireland and back to UK, 5 days of business and factory visits and 3 weeks of holiday. I...

    Really excellent work, good WIP :cool: Question - hinges on the right hand side? Design or location decision?

    Spring?

    A mild winter. Then a shift into summer. Back to winter 2c in the morning, 21c in the afternoon. Back to summer, 26c the other day. Back to winter today for a couple of days. In the mean time, the orchids are flowering. They survive year after year, maybe repotted, get some compost and...

    The Niff-Naff Cabinet; glazing, waxing and finally DUN n'DUSTED!

    Here is the coffee grinder box. This one in our kitchen, Son has the other one. I will see if there was a date when made. Mechanisms imported from Rockler USA. Plan was from a USA magazine. Sharp router bits, no breakout. Planing was off the E-Bekhum. Looks like it needs some tlc with Danish oil.

    Mike builds a teardrop (hatch detail)

    We do have some tarmac roads somewhere in the country :ROFLMAO: Our local street out of our area (only one) is more repaired potholes than proper tarmac, and we are not even in the rainy season yet!

    Not qualified to answer that one. Wood is stored in garage (old house) down to frost winters and very hot summers. The Bubinga was purchased in Cape Town from Rare Woods offcuts store. Flew back with me as hold luggage.
