• 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!

    What I have fixed today

    Whilst carrying out my "sketchy" hedge trimming operation with the lightweight Flymo, the two part handle joining spigot gave up the ghost. Safe to say I need to sort it, just gluing it back on is not an option. I have opted for an internal Ash splint. Now, a nice square shape it ain't! And it...

    Brace & bits identification

    Lovely example of an iconic old joiners tool with a wonderful set of bits. I wonder if the short one is a replacement and if so please let me know who the manufacturer is and I'll keep my eyes open for you. Can you work out what size it should be? Ah, just realised it is possibly a "made up"...
