• 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!

    Woodworking and AI

    Interesting Phil. Hope it works out and will follow your WIP with interest. Some time ago I did a Google AI 'ask' for the fliptop workbench for the Triton TPT125 thicknesser - just as out of curiosity as I'd already worked out the size *for my available space*. It came up with the dimensions of...

    Woo Hoo....Reacher's back

    I managed to binge watch over 3 days... but only got 1 Christmas special come up 🤔... need to go back to see if I can find the 2nd that was mentioned. Found myself shouting at the screen as they came do close but walked past or away... frustrating 😂😇

    Persimmon

    You're lucky to have it... I wasn't too sure about the walnut tree though at first... I've read that walnut trees can/do 'poison' the ground and stop other stuff growing in the same area but it seems Persimmon trees are tolerant of the 'juglone' produced by nlack walnut trees. I had to check 😉😇...

    Good Internet "Tutors"

    Appreciate you guys that have put forward suggested channels for watching 👍 🙏 For the last couple of years or so my YouTube viewing has been mainly towards seeing various ideas/builds of fliptop workbenches and getting them, hopefully, suitable for the tools I had or 'felt I needed' (?)... and...

    Joint Practice

    Checking out the link would seem to be that you can - all 414 pages as a PDF or text. FREE 30 day *trial* and $11.99 a month after IF you don't cancel. Asking for more info in Google. Cancelling *can* be difficult... apparently! Lots of screens/windows to go through and *correct* info to be...

    Is this board too bowed for a drawer front?

    Was this piece laid on a flat surface or leant upright against others and the 'outer' face is showing the bow - ends having risen. If so I'd be thinking that face/surface has dried a tad more and caused the bowing. First thing I'd try is to lay it on a bench or other surface with the ends...

    What have you "lost" today...?

    Thanks Mark. Sorry to say I don't know the correct name for them. They where from an old sales display board unit from when I was employed at Charlton's Timber Centre, late 1980's/pre '92. They clipped into holders on a metal backing board, the board having a downward hook to take the top of...

    Small scraps in thickness planer?

    Shortest pieces I've put through my Triton TPT125 thicknesser is 10", a number of short lengths of yew at 11"... If I'd shorter pieces I'd use double sided tape to put hold them down to a longer board to accommodate a number of pieces along the legth and width, melamine or similar. I'd sort...

    New toy

    Ah! Okay... I did wonder about the silver knob at the back - but now see it's a thicker piece it helps to clamp down on - I'm guessing.. Oh well! Hopefully someone here can come up with a way to adapt it 🤞

    New toy

    Hi Martin... I thought that was the case with the red one I got and posted the pic of. I found that if I removed one of the washers, top black one in the photos, then it gave enough thread to be able to be locked in the sled. If concerned about marking the top bit an ordinary washer could be...

    Dare I - after last time: Parkside at Lidl

    Well... as we usually do a weekly shop there - yes... As to the free bun having worked: a definite no. 2 buns probably would have helped salve my disappointment 😎

    Dare I - after last time: Parkside at Lidl

    I got told that *maybe* they had stock in Warminster (apparently they seem to get double middle isle stuff there!) by the assistant I spoke with. Gave feedback to the head office and got this reply: "Thank you for taking the time to contact us. I am sorry that you were unable to purchase...

    Dare I - after last time: Parkside at Lidl

    Well... I did drop in to my local (Lidl) to check this out and ZILCH on the shelves. As it was at opening time I asked a member of staff who told me NONE of these drills had come in. Seems it's not the first time that they haven't received *promotional* stock! Extremely disappointed to say the...

    Kity 619

    Well, Gemini isn't coming up with photos - possibly not capable? I noticed numbers on the block so hopefully all the following will be of some help. I have to emphasise that I an NOT in anyway saying that this is correct but offering it to try to be as helpful as possible. PLEASE BE VERY...

    Any Monty Python aficionados?

    Kity 619

    Unable to help by providing the photo/s you asked, don't have one of those, but did put your question into Google Gemini which came up with a couple of questions of its own before continuing further to try to help. Possibly questions those with a Kity 619 may need to know before getting a photo...

    New toy

    Did a quick look in the Amazon app and nearest (if not the one) I found was a VEVOR at 44.90... is that the make Martin 🤔. I got one from Temu, a low price *catch you to reel in* for future purchases... 15 folding if I remember... couple of years ago. It's ok, better than what came with the...
