• 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!

    Hello all,

    I seem to remember you Woodchip, from just before that Noah fellah came looking for the loan of a chainsaw. Welcome back. Still the same amiable bunch of nutters, tree-huggers, out-of-date hippies and eccentrics here, you may be reassured to hear....

    Coronated

    Long live Gower's "Complete plain words". Most excellent tome. Explicatory, concise, appropriate, grammatically correct. That said, neologisms have long been acceptable; try Alice in Wonderland for example. But the grammatical travesties served up betimes? Yuk.

    Unusual scrapers, or are they?

    Me too, Andy. Deffo in the last 5 years or so. Maybe a curiosity publicised by the Cousins across the Pond, or, possibly Jake Whatisname on the Aussie forum; him what used to canibalise (beautifully) standard planes to make them do extraordinary things. Or King Crimson sharing a 'wizard...

    "Ginger Toddler"? Nicola Sturgeon? She were "the Ginja Ninja" or "Killer Crankie" Roger. Or, do you mean "the Big Orange Blob" (a.k.a."Bob") presently working out his jetlag (and hiding his utter lack of Sino-Yank progress) on Truth Social?

    What I have fixed today

    Planeiron is not alone, I regret to say. My previous homeowner placed blinded over two, with fine quarry dust and sand, well tapped, then built a deck over them! When he extended the sewer under the house he then placed floor joists on top of the connection, fracturing the sewer and that led to...

    Garden Bench

    Scott, your workshop is the size of my bungalow. 😳 Just sayin'; I wish I had your space. I know real estate in Canada is a very different ball-game to UK; I spent some months there a long time ago and the disparity was evident even then. Nice save, Brother. Good to see it back giving pleasure.

    Reclaimed sapele

    Bob, I have indisputably teak here; will drop over soon and show you it. Very characteristic smell, silicaceous inserts that blunt blades, and yes, wee white flecks in the grain - the odd time, not as a given. Red sawdust? Yes, in artificial light, teak dust (and a freshly planed surrface) can...

    Reclaimed sapele

    When the school I worked in went from "Heavy Craft" to "C.D.T." out went an Elliott metal shaper (to scrap!), power hacksaw (to me, and promptly sold on), one of those blade sharpeners [that look like old-fashioned 'tub' washing machines] an ML8 lathe (mine too,then sold to finance a new SIP...

    Yes another bathroom reno.

    Duke, yes, but what it is for I don't know. I'm sure Tim will be "liberating it into the skip" (dumpster). The wall isn't supporting the floor above..no, but it has a whopping 16Kg air unit to be hung on it..😕. Tim is an engineer and is extremely finicky about loads and displacement. He has...

    Yes another bathroom reno.

    Ian, I suggested Tim 'bridged' the holes with supplementary studs, length at least 50cm either side of the hole, glued and bolted through all three thicknesses. He also told me of other horrors: a triple ply floor beam, underneath the eventual main kitchen 'island'....20mm off the load-bearing...
