• 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!

    WAPE please Roger? As in Pidgin English? Given its widespread usage in in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon etc, I'm surprised AI couldn't handle it. Then again, it could simply be the Yank-o-phile nature of Western AI?

    It's back!!

    Yup, missin' ma fix Man! More seriously, reading between the lines of Alasdair's techno-speak, is it possible we had the modern equivalent of an email-bomb? Remember those? Where Denial of Service was achieved by 70,000 (or so) emails were generated and sent in 20 nanoseconds? Barstewards.

    Greetings from a new member

    Nicely done Mucker; I toyed with the idea of an extending wood underframe some time ago, including the F.W.W. detailed article. Kudos to you for completing it! The wood combination looks lovely. Sam

    Suggestions for excavating this hole

    Clamp long piece of wood to side of door, long to avoid clamps hitting router, thickness immaterial, use router fence to adjust positioning. Scoop out waste with 16,000 rpm bit. Tidy corners with THIN chisel. As Rob would say: " Dunn!".

    Well this is a bummer.

    Feel for you Duke. I drove 100 miles each way on Sunday, up to Edinburgh and back. Our clinging, dense, coastal fog ("Fret") was out in force and the home run, in the gloaming, with standing water and heavy rain, with the cloud base on top of the H.G.V.'s, was 3000% concentration. Visibility was...

    Unusual winter weather.

    I've been 'on the hill', at height, in Forces 8 and 10. The latter was exciting; a distinct chance of unpowered flight. The former was - by comparison - just difficult.

    What have you "lost" today...?

    Reminiscent of a story by Somerville and Ross: Two Irish characters arguing that each had "lost" a document. As the argument raged, one emphasised his point by thumping the table - with the document in question in his hand...😏

    Unusual winter weather.

    I lived through '63, was at primary school. Thank God we had two open fires, no lecky-controlled gas to cut itself off. Everything else since has been an anti-climax, even "The Beast from the East". The snow presently in Scotland, Aberdeenshire in particular, is coming close to '63 levels...

    Ornamental lathe restoration

    Love it! Understand exactly what you mean; I trained (briefly, about a year of night classes) on.a stonking big Bridgeport. Got things done, no messing!

    A good friend has just (8 weeks back) had his flight. He still has this big, soppy, grin. Enjoy, Roger!!

    Hiya Pete! Know you well from your contributions to The (Keef) Urban Empire.

    Finally getting around to saying hello

    Welcome from a fellow Co.Downer**, now a refugee in among the great pool of Geordieland! **(One of the famous boundary posts was at the end of our work drive). I'm wondering if a certain woodyard - opposite Gate Seven of H&W, was it? - is still going? McGregors?
