• 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!

    Keeping out water?

    Overall it does not look like a substantial gate, but that might be just the photo. Also would you supply anything with the pencil marks still present ? The better way would be to have a shoulder tennon like @AndyP has said, that way no water soaking into the rail and his gates look far...

    Of the moment …..

    I suppose you are helping guinea pigs and other animals from being used in laboratories and someone has to do it but why not people serving life in prison for murder or othen crimes, make them payback to society and maybe save a few lives.

    AI for Technophobes

    It is automated number crunching, it might do a lot of the donkey work but I would think the final output is done by a human, we read and overcome mistakes without thinking but AI would need a set format, how would it cope if it found the data in the wrong places.

    AI for Technophobes

    The only jobs AI will replace are those involving matching images, searching for data or finding something like in medical screening where it could look through a database of thousands of images to see if it finds a similar match or image creation but then AI is still in it's infancy and for...

    AI for Technophobes

    Compare the time lines, the human brain has existed for thousands of years and had plenty of time to evolve, AI only a decade or so. We do not fully understand the brain due to complexity but have used it to create AI but can AI create a human brain ? AI is nothing more than a very fast...

    It's curtains for me - what on earth do I do with this?

    Make sure they do not start swinging from the lights now they know they cannot hang from the curtains is the first step. Next I would fill the hole and make good, then look for a curtain pole hanger which can be attached to that wooden beam above as that looks solid.

    AI for Technophobes

    No one should believe anything at first because you find there is so much bad information that is wrong, misleading or just there to earn footfall and AI is now the weapon of choice for many scammers and dodgy web sites. Who will believe anyone and you even get these AI bots on the phone which...

    Planer thicknesser?

    It might be a slower process but what about one of these if you are just looking to reduce the thickness . https://www.rutlands.com/products/router-flattening-sled?srsltid=AfmBOoonGxp8O0iSPPSCynBspcLzzIPkpt7l6JfUsfCIhraPZDmcZrrd

    Planer thicknesser?

    I have not heard of an expensive budget machine, but if you buy budget then the hassle it might give you will not be worth it so maybe @Steve Maskery 's idea is a good route to go down. Also weigh up machining your own timber compared to buying it ready to use, that depends upon your...

    Painting MDF panels

    You only do sweeping strokes from one end to the other and then no more, we do have this thing where we see a slight line and then attack it with the brush which is where I used to go wrong. I like many thought painting was the domain of painters who had some special skills but in reality it...

    Painting MDF panels

    It has no effect on the colour although it is like white PVA glue, I thought the same. I use about 8% per litre of paint. The finish depends upon what you are seeking, I find a brushed job with eggshell gives a more traditional finish than spraying that tends to be more clinical.

    Getting old and stupid

    No I don't think so, if we are all honest it happens to many of us because we just try and overwork our brains and have so much going on it just causes confusion and is not a medical condition or pre emptive of one.

    Painting MDF panels

    That is because it is not Johnstones, I gave up with Dulux years ago because of poor results. Even with Johnstones I will add flowtrol if the weather is warm simply to keep the wet edge which sounds like one of your issues and don't use a roller. I put the paint on with a two inch brush and...

    The Record story

    The title says it all, Record were the vice and clamp manufacturers for British engineering for what must have been close to a century and once made elsewhere the quality was never the same. Just another great company like so many others we once had that are no more.

    Festool ts55 blades

    The thinnr blades are aimed at the cordless saws to help with battery life, if using them I would only buy really good quality to ensure no vibration.

    Festool ts55 blades

    Take a look at Walker blades, I use these in my table saw, mitre saw and have one for my Makita tracksaw. You only have a 48 tooth version in the 160 / 165 diameter blades though compared to say Makita blades where they do a 60 tooth.

    Hello, good morning and welcome...

    But it gave people something to do and stopped a mass panic of people trying to go somewhere, many would have been vaporised before even getting a door removed.

    Hello, good morning and welcome...

    No good as I live in a Bungalow, maybe having less height means I might miss the blast wave ! Yet the old analogue system worked for decades and even during the power cuts in the seventies, we keep using that word called progress . Yes you can have fun with that one, I rang a company a few...
