• 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

    Is chime- envy a thing? We have got a bamboo one that used to clatter a jaunty irritation at three in the morning until a passing storm tangled it up as a favour. The Boston Ivy has now hidden the evidence.

    New 'Foot' for Parkside PSS 310 Sander

    Yes I have a few machines- the no name is actually a Toyota underneath. Not sure about the Brother but it is very resilient. The exception with power tools in my regrettable experience ,I'm sorry to say is Einhell. I have a 40 yr old bench grinder from them which has been excellent but the...

    New 'Foot' for Parkside PSS 310 Sander

    Repairing, recycling and reusing is truly honourable but restoring ' disposable ' tools takes it to another level. Well done. We've had so many break- ins that I've resigned myself to cheap tools as the scumbags make a beeline for the big brand items
