• 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!

    Big shoutout to Mike for his time on Monday. We worked through several woodworking processes, such as sawing (which seems simple in theory, but in practice, well!!!). He showed me how to disassemble and sharpen a jack plane and chisels. He showed me how to measure and mark—again, this seems...

    I have a couple of ideas for a work bench but due to limited space needs to be foldable in some way. Will discuss it with Mike tomorrow and see what his thoughts are.

    My apprenticeship starts tomorrow :cool: I haven't bought anything yet, which is unheard of, but I have compiled a small list of things that I would like: a centipede table, squares, 90-degree clamps, and clamps. I've also scouted Facebook marketplace for various hand tools, hoping I'll be able...

    I will happily mix concrete, dig, and shovel! I own a gardening business on the side of my 9-to-5. If you don't mind sharing the list, that'd be great. I've compiled quite a list already, but will not buy anything until I've had a chance to meet Mike and gained his views etc. Whilst making...

    Morning Andy, Thanks for the recommendation, is it mainly body of text or does it come with illustrations / examples? I’ve never been much of a reader, but I do watch a ton of videos. A reference book would be much better, especially when in the shed. I am going to see Mike on 2nd of...

    a very warm welcome! Mike has indeed invited me to his workshop, so planning on visiting early December! Should be a great experience learning the basics and wood working etiquette. Will let you know how it goes! 😊

    Hi everyone. Thanks for the warm welcome and genuinely great advice. I’ll start looking at some non power tools initially and see where it takes me!

    Hi Mike, I’d very much like to take up your offer. Obviously happy to pay for the material needed and your time if needed. I did look at workshops but often expensive and I am not big on larger crowds.

    Good evening folks, Mid aged chap from Norfolk. Looking to pick up a new hobby whilst I am hopeful to build some furniture for our home. Specifically I am looking at building cabinets like media, bedside, wardrobes etc. At the moment, I have very few tools - I have two sheds and a single small...
