• 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!

Had a really good look at the new Clifton block plane today at Peter Sefton's Open Day. A fabulous little plane but far too heavy for me. Compared to the bench mark (in my view anyway) LN 60.5, this comes some way behind. Great to see a British made block, but for me it's not as good, especially if much of the work is done single handed. Price is well over £200 as well. Needs to go on a diet :D - Rob

There's a reason Stanley made a bazillion block planes--none of them were perfect for everyone.:)

Yep, absolutely. I guess I'm used to something a little lighter and neater. Had it been smaller I would have probably got my order in by now..other guys I spoke to liked the heavier weight so I suppose it's what you get used to really - Rob
