• 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!

    A few turnings

    You may remember that sometime ago Mike had some bog oak for sale, I went along but being an awkward sort of chap I came away with a slab of yew. I found a Dutch wood turner on youtube demonstrating turn some platters so I had a go with some of the yew. This was the widest part of the board...

    Pendant for my CNC

    While working on setting up the pendant, I found there had been an update for the CNC Duet firmware, which added a few new useful features, one of which was a simple way to control the speed of my spindle directly from the Duet. I just need to add a converter to change the pulse width modulated...

    Pendant for my CNC

    I have an Ooznest WorkBee CNC with a Duet controller, which is a stand alone board, mounted on the CNC and its controlled using a web based interface from a laptop in my case. This works well for the machining of parts but is a bit cumbersome when setting the position of the cutter ready to...

    Lathe add-on's

    I have a good dust collector but have been struggling too keep the hose in a good place when sanding plates and platters, this simple ply board with a hook on the end fits on to the bed. That will hold the hose, using a very cheap fitting from Tool Station just below toe work and get a high...

    Lathe add-on's

    I have added a hinged board on the leg of my lathe to hold the chucks and face plate as having the in a draw was not very satisfactory. I have started to add storage for extra jaws on the inside. I have a board on the other leg that has the bigger jaws stored

    Bog oak and brass marking gauges

    Thanks for posting theses Mike, but my part was quite small, you provided the drawing of what needed cutting and I just cut them on to your blanks. Here is an example after the cnc had finished. I did knock most of the fuzzes of with a stiff brush but Mike filling the cut makes it stand out.

    Lathe add-on's

    I have a very nice Jet lathe and have made a few things to improve the usefulness of it. Here is the lathe and one of the extras I have made. No prizes but what's it for?

    Last minute present

    Our daughter was very vague about what she would like for Christmas, one suggestion was moon on a stick So Christmas morning before picking her up I popped out to the workshop. And yes I do like Pink Floyd.[emoji6]

    Looking for a little metalworking help, please

    Well I have had another go at these. I think I am closer to the originals, I have turned the posts with a smaller section on the end as I think looking at the supplied one, they go into a square hole. I hope the small section will fit in the hole and a tap with a mallet will shown what if any...

    Looking for a little metalworking help, please

    Marvelous, cost reduction bites back

    I had a jumbo roll clean up roll from Aldi. I finished it up after probably a year of it hanging on a quick holder I put together. Bought a two pack as they them in store a little while ago, guess what? They have reduced the size of the cardboard tube, it no longer fits the holder!

    Bass build

    Well Malc has nothing to worry about, this will not be anything like as skill full as his Martin build! I many years ago played a bass, a Shaftesbury P bass copy, I have bought the plans for a P bass and I do intend to build one from scratch, but this is not a build from scratch. I have been...

    BAS315 Blade guides

    I have a quite old, bought second hand BAS315, which has done some serious work at times, however the last time I was using it the blade broke. On replacing the blade I found that the top guide bearing were no longer parallel with the blade! The guides on these saws are a set of die cast metal...

    New Tools (loads of pictures)

    I have made a tool handle for some carbide insert tools I bought online. Here are the tools: They sell a handle for them, which I bought: However I was not impressed with it, its made from an aluminium tube and uses 2 grub screws to hold the shaft of the tool. It is so light that I find it a...
