• 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!

    Big problems ebonising.

    It's years since I did any ebonising, so in no expert, but. I think Indian ink or analine dyes are a good idea. II is water based and analine dyes are usually alcohol based, both compatible with your ebonising mixture. I don't think that they will react badly together. It's got to be worth a...

    Hot cup mark on table

    I can't help you, I'm afraid, but anyone who can will probably want to know what wood it is and what the finish is. S

    Post a photo of the last thing you made...

    That is absolutely beautiful, Robert. I've made a few boxes in my time, not that many really, but nothing as lovely as that.. S

    Lodgers...

    I've just looked up VMC ducts. We don't have any or those, this place is 200 years old. S

    Lodgers...

    That is entirely possible, though I no idea how to find out. S

    Lodgers...

    Well the infestation continues. I've been finding hornets in the kitchen every morning. In the sink, on the counter, on the floor. In all cases they are crawling rather than flying, which makes them very easy to deal with. Yesterday I went into the barn and they were still going in and out of...

    A Cautionary Video

    I can only think that it looks like he is trying to resaw a piece. But it is rising up. That would happen if he was using a negative-rake blade, meant for a RAS or SCMS. At least he was standing out of the way, so Brownie Points for that. S

    A Cautionary Video

    That was very, very funny, thank you. The continuity guy's face is a picture. I'd love to have seen how the car got up in that tree. S

    Old Glue - an experiment

    After a bit of researching, I have found this: https://www.amazon.fr/Colle-bois-biberon-750Gr-Bostik/dp/B013S6W33E/ref=asc_df_B013S6W33E It is well regarded, so when I run out of my current stock, I'll give it a try. It might be good glue, but the graphic designer who is responsible for the...

    Yes, she brought her friend Jules. We had a nice few days. S

    Old Glue - an experiment

    That is surprising, as I wrote a load of garbage. I meant more expensive than the UK, now edited :)

    Old Glue - an experiment

    EVERYTHING in French DIY-land is more expensive than the same product in the UK, unfortunately.

    Old Glue - an experiment

    Al, thanks for this, it is a very interesting and useful read. I brought over a 5l bottle of Everbuild D4 in 2022. Sadly, when I came to use it 6 months ago, it was one solid lump of rubber. The same glue is available over here, mail order from Amazon, but the last time I looked it was "Delivery...

    Help and guidance sort: hand planes renovation 🙏

    Here in France, I can buy Linseed oil in any supermarket, even our little local one. Huile de Lin. But it never says whether it is Raw or Boiled. S
