• 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!

    Storm Éowyn

    I was in the student towers, university of Essex - built in the 60s, they were then the tallest brick-built residential buildings in the UK. Apparently they would sway up to 6' in the strongest winds, don't know how true that is. I woke in the morning, looked out the window and so many of the...

    Profile posts?

    So, a 'Conversation' is private, and a 'Profile Post' is publicly visible? As Lurker wrote above, I feel like I'm intruding on a conversation when I notice the Profile posts.

    Profile posts?

    Yes, I've wondered about those too. Seems a bit odd but assumed it was just me.

    Truffles

    I've never tried one, but a farm shop nearby has a very large field growing domestic broadleaf trees which, once mature enough, will have the fungus introduced to their roots. And then, one dark night, with my pet pig in hand... (yes, I've read a Year in Provence - or was that a dog?)

    Get yourself down to Aldi pronto - very cheap Claret and "cheap" Normandy butter.

    Two boxes (each containing 6 bottles :) ) for £60. Apparently, they have lots in store - I'll be going back for more. Thanks for the heads-up, Adrian. And yes, I have started rather early but it's a Sunday and I couldn't wait to try it for size...

    Get yourself down to Aldi pronto - very cheap Claret and "cheap" Normandy butter.

    Thanks - I think I was getting confused about boxes (of bottles) and wine boxes (which are better at Lidl). Something like that :)

    A little bit twisted

    We did indeed! Pic shows one of the mills we worked on, it could do up to 4m length iirc,* any thickness you like so long as you're prepared to wait. I was turning wood at the time so had a fantastic choice of offcuts etc, never really got to grips with slabs. I still pop in to have a browse and...

    A little bit twisted

    I'd imagine there are a lot of twisted, split tables around the UK these days. I worked for a friend selling slabs, along with other air-dried wood before and after the covid lock downs, at which time slab and resin tables became very popular. It came as quite a surprise to some customers...

    Pugh's auction tomorrow Sat 4th

    We were surprised at how cheap the big kit sold for - especially the Bridgeport mill and the Myford Mystro (both above) - the latter sold for the same price as 6x No6 G-clamps. We tried for the clamps but £50 was the target we set, and we were beaten to that price so no joy. But it was more of a...

    Food from your early years as an adult or child?

    I forgot - mum's French onion soup. I think that would have to have been my favourite. I could eat some now.

    Food from your early years as an adult or child?

    Prawn cocktail (in avocado, no less) Duck à l'orange Maybe Black Forest gâteau, but mum did try various desserts from her French cook books. (Had to collect the spellings in google) Those are the bits I remember from posh dinners, when friends came for the evening. Brings back a host of...

    Heat Treatment Oven

    I look at the simplest circuit diagrams and struggle, Al - absolutely my problem, not yours. You can take a horse to water (etc.)!

    I was thinking to maybe follow along with our own build till the diagrams got all complex. :) No chance!
