• 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!

    Ummm... did I just get an entire dressers worth of mahogany for 40£? I went for the tall skinny thingie, and he had this out in his work area. There is an entire dresser carcass waiting back there for next weekend.

    Fair enough. I will definitely prioritize any oak pieces.. For a newbie.. Any particular way to tell the difference?

    Seller said that some are pine, and some are oak.. There are multiple dressers available. If I am looking for a quick fix to get some storage, would pine not be recommended? The garage is getting a little out of hand, and I "really" need to use up some of my remaining three plywood sheets on the...

    Decided to take a shortcut and look for oak dressers to repurpose the drawers directly into my assembly workbench. Going Sunday to pick up atleast one of these oak dressers

    Yeah, that is the general idea, only there will be a router station where your fence is sitting right now. Your setup looks more or less exactly what mine will end up looking like. How wide is this table when looking at the front of the saw? With the other two work benches to sit against an...

    Today's build. Screwed it up here and there.. but it was only supposed to be temporary in order to use to build the real table saw workbench.. Accidentally mounted the saw base 2 inches higher than I meant to.. Overall table saw work surface ended up being FOURinches higher than my assembly...

    Uggggh. I wish. No. I have nothing but a No. 5 plane, and planing end grain seemed like it would be beyond my ability to have a good outcome at this point in my journey. SO many mistakes, and a lot of hackish fixes. The legs ended up quite a bit off from each other due to lack of a good stop...

    The veneer on this plywood not that great, but it is a piece of shop furniture.

    Got the right-to-left, and left-to-right measuring tape installed, and lines up pretty well to the blade. All that's left is making a stop block this weekend, and to start building the table saw workbench..

    Sorry, Andy for not making it.. I was working on this over the weekend. By some miracle, I managed to get the wings to line up correctly, despite nearly everything going wrong with the build. I am going to need to break out the router to try to get the pieces on top of the legs to line up, as...
