• 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!

    Bailey Dinette Table Top Damage (Laminate Type?)

    Really interesting as a fellow caravan owner I hadn't realised the tables were hollow core like that nowadays! Ours is a 40 year old van and has a table of heavy manufactured board of some sort, plastic laminate top and real wood lippings. Due to the lack of mod cons overall it's very...

    Taking payments - this may be useful to you

    Most of the companies offering this, such as SumUp pretty much give away the card readers anway. As the husband of a small business owner, it's interesting that people don't think twice about tapping their phone on a card reader but the touching of phones seems a step to far and people often...

    Interesting use of an old strut - I have two old ones in my workshop so might take that idea and repurpose.

    Vegetarian / vegan cookbook recommendations?

    Necci Game, I think you can buy direct but I get them from the farmshop we use for all our veg - GW Breach & Sons farm (TN12 0EX). They don't always have them in the freezer, think it depends if they've caught any!

    Post a photo of the last thing you made...

    Having turned spindles before the hand eye coordination wasn't too bad but the angles and ways you hold the tools for a bowl took a bit of getting used to. Good fun, and I plan to build myself a lathe.

    Post a photo of the last thing you made...

    Turned my first bowl on a bowl/ pole lathe on a course last week. It’s a bit rough but i’m happy with it. Included a couple of pics of the tools which may be of interest if you’ve not seen them before.

    Photo size?

    Sure I've missed this but I always upload photos from phone but the new forum just says too big? Do I have to resize the photo before hand or is there a way to do it in the forum software?

    Vegetarian / vegan cookbook recommendations?

    Don't have any book recommendations, but we eat quite a lot of veggie / vegan dishes although not being vegan we don't mind if it has the odd but of butter etc. I know you're not going down this route but I don't like that a lot of vegan alternatives are ultra processed, we try to eat as much...

    My new toy

    Slightly off topic but a friend had one of the robot vacuum cleaners and a cat. You can probably get ones with sensors now but they can make quite a mess on the carpet if your cat is sick while you're out....

    Mike's ext'n & renovation (solar panels)

    I like the silvered look of oak, and it doesn't need it to be long lasting does it? The only thing, and I don't know if this is correct but unfinished timber seems more susceptible to differences of location, ie overhangs, facing South and you sometimes see drastically different colours on one...

    Hand Tool Storage

    I agree, utilitarian and everything is to hand. I like the artwork to - I have posters and pictures around my shop.

    Thanks Mike, it's well down the project list but I quite fancy trying my hand at replacing our doors in the future!

    A trip down Memory Lane

    So if things had gone differently it could have been Roger firing people on the Apprentice and we'd have a forum member called Alan.

    Mike's ext'n & renovation (solar panels)

    No experience with doors, does that aluminium extrusion end up with something on top of it? It's hollow in the middle and does the oak end up sitting in water?

    Works so much better on a phone - which is my preferred method wasn’t really that easy before. Well done all!

    TS55 electronic brake

    Using my TS55 today on some oak and the electronic brake has stopped working :( Searched Google and didn’t find very much, but the following site selling motor brushes suggests they could cause lack of braking? https://www.sparepartsworld.co.uk/product/FES491704 I’m going to have to take it...
