• 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!

Hmmmmm.. Maybe you are right. I do have quite a bit of 18mm birch plywood, and it would make things a bit easier, as I would need to worry about wood movement with the mahogany, which I don't think is as much a condern with the birch plywood. Plus, it would not require stripping.

There you go. Nice to put the kidneys to work eh. ;)

Making some progress on storage. All rails in the drawer box, and a second drawer built and installed.

Also picked up a nice bandsaw for 150£ today. Wife is moderately annoyed as this tightens up the garage space for now.. But our referencing went through for the new rental, and the owners are great and have agreed to clear out the garage first, and allow me to move the woodshop before the official start date.. So she'll get over it..:-)

Congratulations on the purchase! The cast iron table will clean up nicely with some elbow grease and a random orbital sander. When you get settled in, contact Ian at Tuff Saws for good blades.

I have the Record Power BS350S that had the same mobility kit. After the first year of moving the saw around, the wheels started failing and I wanted to improve the base while adding some storage in the wasted space. Here is the thread on UKW showing my base, which should be ideal for your saw as well:

Record Power BS350S Bandsaw Modifications - Part 5: Base Replacement

I made several modifications to my Record Power BS350S bandsaw and documented them here in case anyone with a similar bandsaw was interested. Here are the modifications I made so far. I’ll update the list below with links to the other threads as I add them:: 1. Upgrade upper and lower blade...

After nearly five years of use, I am very happy with the modifications I made to my saw and the base is perfect for my limited space basement shop.
