• 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!

    Getting old and stupid

    I wondering if this is because I don’t usually shower in the day time but yesterday the good lady wife suggested we went to a couple of nurseries in the afternoon so as I was mucky from the mornings toils I went for a shower. It was only after I’d been in the shower a few moments & my vision...

    Planer thicknesser?

    Just to avoid any confusion your thread title says planer thicknesser the machine you link to is just a thicknesser. In general these thicknessers are very noisy I don’t have experience of the metabo but did have the DeWalt version 20+ years ago, it did what I wanted it to do which was...

    Tis the season

    This was a rather expensive bees nest removal, the bees had set up home in a very large chimney with 6 flue ways that were shared by 3 storey Victorian semi detached houses, both properties had had problems for a number of years with bees entering the premises via different fire places. The nest...

    American Ash

    I’ve heard folks say both American kiln dried ash & oak are difficult to work but it’s not been my experience, I was planing some quarter sawn American white oak yesterday it came so cleanly off the planer it barely needs sanding. I used to save quite a bit of branch wood years ago when I did a...

    Good stuff!

    Original sumogrip is as good as CT1 in fact it’s got a better cured high tensile strength but the thing I like best about it is it’s a lot cheaper than CT1

    Well, that day didn't go to plan.

    Is sitting down doing some carving an option to while away some time Mike, I know from my own time spent incapacitated finding something constructive to do is so good for mental health & certainly helps the days & weeks pass much quicker. You could also design some handrails for your saw horses...

    Hello, good morning and welcome...

    At the moment I’m sorting out a few things that have involved downloading apps the thing is all these companies give me a Q R code to get the app. Am I missing something but how can I scan the Q R code when I’m looking at it on the screen of the device I want to load the app to 🤷‍♂️

    Alaskan milling, ‘carport’, roof trusses

    I can confirm being pinned to a trunk 25 foot up a tree with a chainsaw in your midriff held there by the branch you’ve just cut through thats swung into you via the tie in rope is no longer my idea of fun.

    Hello, good morning and welcome...

    I called in my local corner shop the other day to pick up some tinnies, when I saw the amount of folks in the shop I nearly didn’t bother but a slurp was much needed so I proceeded to the fridge. On joining the back of a large long queue & realising it wasn’t moving I was about to return the...

    Like the ocean under the moon

    Another vote for Stop Loss Bags, I’ve been using them for a number of years now with the price of oils for me it’s a no brainer.

    Square of Thales

    Made one about 5 years ago great for shuttering for foundations & setting out lines for starting corners on brickwork

    Yes another bathroom reno.

    Always interesting to see how things work in different countries, many different approaches. I start on an en-suite tomorrow, I plastered out the room a year ago & it the intervening time the layout plans have changed so I imagine I’m in for some fun :unsure:

    How The Spindle Moulder Gained Its Notoriety

    I don’t have a lot to do with tenoning heads, these are the biggest I’ve had dealings with. A mate bought them but they were for a 2” shaft so wanted a sleeve to fit them to his machine so he sent over the shaft off his tenoner & the blocks & we machined him a shaft up. I saw them in action a...

    Continuous insulation, something I’m most impressed with.

    It works really well Ian, I’d did the same many years ago on a chapel conversion all the external walls were wrapped & taped internally with insulation prior to a stud frame being constructed in front of the insulation to true up the walls. It’s a lot of work but definitely worth the effort

    Well, that day didn't go to plan.

    That’s not ideal Mike, hope recovery is straight forward & speedy for you.
