• 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!

    Record 52E Nut Thread Size

    Taken me a while but I did get there eventually. :) That's interesting about the hole. I'm tempted to take my other one off for a look to see if it's like that. I'm pretty sure the bar was a replacement as it had been modified to make it fit. Working nicely now though whereas before it was...

    Record 52E Nut Thread Size

    Quick update on the vice. After @Mike G so very kindly sent me the correct bolt, I was able to get there vice cleaned up and put back together. It seems that plate that works the quick release had been replaced at some time and the hole drilled to take the bolt was off centre and caused it to...

    But I thought you need a hollow stone. :confused:

    A plane you might not have come across before - the holzdraht hobel

    That was fascinating, even though I couldn't understand the German, it was intriguing to see how they made those.

    Record 52E Nut Thread Size

    Hi all, Picked up this Record Vice a couple of months ago and decided it's time to get it cleaned up and working again. Giving it a look over though and I notice that one of the nuts that hold the tree quick release plate is missing. Does anyone know what the thread is so I can source one? I...

    It's this a dangerous setup?

    I never use the grey wheel on my grinder so when I saw that there are polishing mop adapters available I bought one and have just fitted it and mounted the large polishing wheel I have. I've fitted it up and there is a lot of vibration so it's definitely out of balance. What's the dangers of...

    Mystery Sharpening Stone

    Evening. I know the S word is dangerous but I have this big lump of an abrasive stone and was wondering if anyone else had ever seen one and knows what would have been sharpened with it (if that was it's purpose).

    Record 52 Vice Restore Quandary

    Hi All, Not sure this qualifies as a restoration as it was more of a de-rusting exercise on an old Record 52 that belonged to my late father-in-law and will hopefully pass on to my son in the future. Mainly by using citric acid for the first time which works a treat. Anyway, I have...

    Patent Search

    Can anyone point me to where I can search British patents? I have an engineer's (?) square I obtained a fair few years ago and I thought I'd try to find out some more about it. It has 'Made in England' and 'Pat. No. 497450' on it but I can't find any reference to it and assume I'm looking in...

    Column Finial Repair

    Anyone here know anything about finials? We have brick columns either side of our front gate with an element on the top that incorporates a smallish finial. My idiot neighbour has managed to knock off the one on our shared boundary. I don't trust him to fix it with his "strong glue" and I doubt...

    Complex Moulding Plane in Need of TLC

    Some time ago, which in my mind isn't too long but my wife tells me is far too long, I had taken some mouldings off in my house to repair a hole in a panel on the stairs. While working away and having not finished the repair, I left the mouldings on my bench. #2 son decided that he was going to...

    Moulding Plane Maker - Norman Bayliss (1962)

    Has anyone seen this? I've been getting interested in moulding planes again recently and it must have registered with the algorithm as this popped up whilst I was trawling through YouTube woodworking videos last night after my other half had retired for the night. Quality isn't great but it...

    Hi from South Wales

    Hi All, I don't think I've introduced myself. I joined a few weeks ago but not participated yet. I'm a bit of a lurker anyway but generally have to work up to posting. I am coming back to woodworking after a long break. This was due to my working away from home a lot and my wife taking...
