• 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!

    Interesting Looking Leg Vice

    It looks a very nicely engineered piece of kit but The quick release looks excellent but cant see how that works The handle looks very low (this gives the high open/close rate) and also sticks out a very long way. I think I would be banging my knees. Interesting that the guy in the demo planed...

    Interesting veneering video on making a star pattern

    I have done a number of starburst patterns but find it much easier using bandsawn veneers at about 2mm. These are thick enough to edge glue so you can build the pattern up as you go and you can reshoot/trim the glued up sections. The key is to cut the triangles with fractionally too large an...

If possible can you make the 4 legs so that where they join there is a small square hole otherwise it creates...

    Bubinga?

    About 25 years ago when bubinga was reasonably priced and available I made a 6ft X 3t dining table. I have used all the left overs for tool handles and cabinet handles. It is extremely hard and I remember that my 12" thicknesser struggled to take more than about 0.5mm in a pass but the finish...
