• 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!

    Repair split in chisel handle

    Yes, certainly Boxwood. I have found that many of my better UK chisels (e.g. Marples) are handled with boxwood made from smaller pieces of timber, perhaps branches (so to speak), the pith included, and they tend towards cracking. I cannot be sure if yours has the pith from the photograph...

    Best value"Stanley" knife blades

    I also resharpen them... but, I am a fanatical cheapskate (a descriptor used in the UK?). I keep them all over the shop, and a fine diamond paddle is never far away for a quick touch-up. If not abused, you can keep them alive for (just about) ever... And pass the blades on to your progeny... 😄

    COMPASS PLANES

    They work well if properly set-up. You must set the bed to a curve that is slightly larger than a convex surface, and conversely slightly smaller than a concave surface. Most get frustrated when they set the bed to the same curvature as the work at hand...
