• 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!

    Teething troubles, can anyone explain this?

    If it was on the extractor I would suggest that it was to stop larger pieces or cloth from getting to the impeller, but as it's on the machine it's probably to stop someone putting their hand in there. My Draper extractor had something similar and would block often, but it was integral to the...

    Anti-rust paper

    I bought a tin of ACF50 spray a while ago, it's weird stuff but I've sprayed it on cast iron surfaces and rubbed it in and it does seem to help prevent the rust forming, though it does make wood a little dirty for a while after applying it.

    Just call me Mole-Catcher-General

    I doubt a fox would eat a mole as they're quite fussy, but a badger might.

    Fobco. They don't make 'em like they used to.

    Lovely job, it looks like it's just come from the factory! What did you use to fill in the "arc of shame"? Epoxy metal?

    Because they taste absolutely dreadful, have you ever had a mouthful of soil?

    Just call me Mole-Catcher-General

    The old Anglo Impassible trap used to work very well for dispatching moles, but it wasn't very popular because it obviously punched a hole straight through the mole and the skin was worth something back then. These days we just kill the mole and chuck it, quite a waste really.

    Router that can get close to a wall?

    Biscuit Joiner works in a pinch!

    Stuck Bit

    Have someone else hold the impact driver and have them pull the release ring forward whilst aiming the impact driver down towards the floor, then take a flat-ended punch and a light hammer and tap on the nose of the impact driver next to where the bit is stuck.

    something a bit different

    Goyen was clearly a brilliant engineer with an eye for detail, it's a beautiful piece of engineering.

    Multitool & cutting dense wood

    I use "Ezarc" blades that have a curved profile to the end of the blade, also with Japanese-style teeth, they work very well for the price. I get a lot of use out of a blade before they need replacing but the most important part to using these tools is to keep the blade moving quickly back...

    Wadkin MMT Cutterblock Setting Stand

    You had one for sale? I totally missed that. Hope you didn’t let him have the parts too cheap!

    Wadkin MMT Cutterblock Setting Stand

    After a long time of searching I finally managed to find a cutterblock setting stand. It’s a late Wadkin “MMT” setting stand for use with their planer moulders, though this is the first one that I’ve ever come across. It’s smaller and significantly lighter than the earlier Wadkin “FDT”...

    Anyone help ID this tooling

    Typically spindle moulder tooling is either 30mm or 1.25" (31.75mm), with some exceptions of course when it comes to smaller moulders that may use 1" or smaller bores. I would definitely double-check your measurements as it's most likely 1.25". It does look like Startrite or later Multico paint...

    Two of my favorite knives, excellent at keeping an edge and very inexpensive.

    It is a weighty lump Chas, I wear Snickers holster pocket trousers on a day-to-day basis and it fits in one of the pockets perfectly on the left hip, then the Milwaukee Fastback is in a pocket on the right hip, along with my pencils, gloves, tape measure, etc... I don't really notice the weight...

    Two of my favorite knives, excellent at keeping an edge and very inexpensive.

    The Opinels are nice, simple knives. I have two knives I carry daily, a first-generation Milwaukee Fastback and also a Leatherman Wave and both get used multiple times a day, in fact you don't realise how often they are used until you forget one or the other one day. The knife situation is...

    Setting a Mortice Gauge?

    The traditional mortice gauge is a very simple tool, only the single-pin marking gauge is simpler. I would say that the craftsmen in days gone by who used a mortice gauge on a daily basis weren’t overly bothered by slight variances in the joinery as most work would be planed flat and just used...

    What would you do? It’s not wood.

    It's a tricky one, but if they decided to include extra people with special requirements without a prior arrangement that's really on them. Not really the same, but if you had ordered a bus from a bus company to collect 16 people and they had asked you on the phone whether anyone needed...

    Lots of Holtzapffel lathes at auction

    Wow. They might as well have been giving most of that stuff away for the prices they were fetching.

    Knives & rubbish?

    Definitely not, I've got a "BOY" branded pinned block that has dreadful tolerances, one side of the block has the pins 2mm off compared to the other side, if you fit the limiters on those pins they engage the work before the cutters and it doesn't cut at all.
