• 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!

    Workshop Uses for 3D Printing

    If you want to be lazy, I'd happily send you the CAD model for the one I did (as a STEP file so you can edit if you want).

    Another tool chest

    That's lovely. One day I'll summon up the confidence to have a go at some of those joints but for now I'll just watch in awe. Fantastic work as always Gary.

    Getting old and stupid

    I came downstairs one morning to make breakfast and found the muesli in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard :)

    Workshop Uses for 3D Printing

    I'm in between projects at the moment so have been doing some much-needed tidying up. I've also been adding a few things to the tool wall as I like having the tools visible and easy-to-grab if possible. One example of a new addition to the tool wall is this Stanley #79 side rebate plane that I...

    Like the ocean under the moon

    I decided the plane needed a home on the tool wall: Now I've just got to figure out where to put the Stanley #5 that used to live there :confused:

    From Prusa to Bambu

    It's Bambu Suite rather than Bambu Studio, but no: I haven't tried any alternatives. I use it so rarely and for such simple things that I've found Bambu Suite to be fine so far.

    Ornate Portuguese Bench Plane

    I've no idea - there wasn't any information about it so everything I know about it is visible in the photos.

    Like the ocean under the moon

    No chance! First of all, you can't patent something that is already known in the public domain (this forum would count as public domain). Secondly, patenting isn't for the faint hearted or light of pocket (think many tens of thousands of pounds and lots and lots of work). Thirdly, I can't...

    Like the ocean under the moon

    I said in the first post in this build series that "I like making tools and I find it really satisfying to be able to use tools I've made on other projects". @AndyT later commented that he'd lost count of the number of home-made tools I'd used so far. Now that the project is finished I thought...

    The last company I worked at had two Steve's in the same department. One had watched a lot of Blackadder before joining so (perhaps in jest) said "call me Bob". For at least the next ten years he was referred to by one and all as Bob, even after the other Steve left.

    Ornate Portuguese Bench Plane

    Believe it or not, she told me quite proudly that she'd recognised most of the tools on display & knew what they were for.

    Welcome Andy. That's some impressive work. I can't even begin to imagine how you'd make something like that.

    Ornate Portuguese Bench Plane

    Seen at the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology in Lisbon (which is mostly an excellent museum showing the insides of an old power station, along with a load of weird and not-very-nice modern art, but which also had a carpentry exhibit.

    Now that's how to do Customer Service!

    LibreOffice Calc can import PDF files. It'll be more hassle than importing a CSV but it might work if the PDF format isn't too weird.

    So it is Spring now, for me it's still Winter

    I would usually think of bluebells as a woodland flower, but one of our local hills (Cam Peak) gets blanketed in them. It was looking lovely today: A usurper in the midst:

    Like the ocean under the moon

    Thanks all. As you've probably all figured out by now, I quite enjoy experimenting with ideas like this and seeing how they work out. I'd be surprised if it's something that no-one has ever tried before.
