• 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!

    Australian furniture timbers.

    I've heard from woodworkers who describe working with Australian timbers as "woodworking with metal". Siggy Chaloupka, apart from being a thoroughly nice bloke, has an extensive knowledge of the timbers available to furniture makers in Australia. He has kindly offered to impart this knowledge on...

    Frozen shoulder.

    Thank you, apart from physio and cortisone injections nothing else was mentioned. The really hard part for me is not knowing factually how this has happened and if it can be prevented in the future. Need to get to grips with the physio. Cheers, Andy

    Frozen shoulder.

    So, on top of my recent eye drama it has been diagnosed that I have onset of a frozen left shoulder which being right handed has taken me about 3 months to have arrived at that doctors/physio appointment. I was quite disappointed at the lack of a cause with the only issue he could correlate it...

    Oak Timber frame (and formally a Diminished stile door (markup and cutting the diminished part?))

    Wonderful and your mystery timber looks a lot like Meranti. Cheers, Andy

    Praise where praise is due Leicester Royal Infirmary.

    I've thankfully not seen anything to suggest staffing problems myself. Yes, the parking can be a mare and I tend to get there a minimum of an hour before the appointment when I have the option to drive myself there. Owing to the fact I have to go in a high top transit I have to hope for a space...

    Praise where praise is due Leicester Royal Infirmary.

    My goodness, I count myself lucky compared to some of the people mentioned here. Hopefully this attack will be an isolated incident regarding migraine sight problems. Makes me wonder how long this could go on for before it has an effect on my driving driving and if so what the options are...

    Praise where praise is due Leicester Royal Infirmary.

    Not these days, now being self employed I have less stress in my life than I used to have. It was interesting to mention to them today that certain perfumes, aftershaves, deodorants, vapes etc give me an instant migraine like pain and they had heard of it. I just thought it was me.

    Praise where praise is due Leicester Royal Infirmary.

    A few times in recent years I've been referred to LRI for problems, all, thankfully, with good positive outcomes. Once again yesterday and today. Sunday evening I lost central focal vision when looking at things which lasted for about 20-30 minutes with a small mosaic in that area through both...

    Keen Bench Drill

    I would add that when the bit is in contact with the work, the more force you rotate the handle with, the greater the advancement of the bit you achieve.

    Keen Bench Drill

    Apart from the fact that mine had an extra hole bored in the mounting bracket at 90° this looks like the one I regularly use. The feed rate/resistance is controlled by an adjustable screw on the one I have. Cheers, Andy

    Another challenge for the grey cells

    The thread and ptfe could be a red herring if there is no hole and you use it to blank off existing compression fittings? Cheers, Andy

    Startrite table saw - table alignment help

    I do believe that this is the same as mine which I unfortunately seldom get to use but when I do it is a real pleasure. Never had the occasion to think it is underpowered but I do keep on top of blade sharpness. Regarding moving these top heavy machines you can drop the blade/riving knife and...

    Mike builds a teardrop (Gas)

    When routing I thought climb cutting was the action of reversing the cutter into the path of the material ? Mike looks like he was cutting conventionally but going against the grain. Cheers, Andy

    Oh, hadn't realised this, it had two pairs of fences. One pair for rabbeting and one pair for moving fillister work.

    Curved or arched rebate with hand tools

    A wooden rebate plane of no discernible worth could easily be adapted by curving the sole in front and behind the mouth. It will, at a pinch, serve to shape the arch shape before the rebate is to be cut. Because you will need to work in both directions of the curve a straight iron will be...
