• 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!

So for me it started with a pile of floor boards, a few C16's and a need for a decent sized desk, so I bought a Router and a Chop Saw and off I went.

Then a few bed frames, and lot of shelving later...

I finally managed to get onto making a actual workspace for my self with a big push from the partner who finally got the boxes of tools out of the living room. So now we both have our own little his and hers workshops at the end of the garden as after mine was completed she also wanted a nest for her own craft stuff.

I've got a love of making all sorts of things but signed up because I am at that stage where my lack of knowledge is slowing me down and need some good advice on what I need to do to take it to the next level, like issues with getting a chuck swapped onto my lathe so I can turn the ends of things better, working with limited tools and space and my serious lack of knowledge when it comes to wood identification! So expect a few threads from me straight away and know that all your advice will be greatly appreciated!

Welcome. Some interesting things there. Real deal Les Paul and Strat? I'm sure the members here will whip you into place.
 
Trying not to mention the flails, I think it’s great that you both have a space — in blue and pink lol. Whenever you run out of knowledge you know where we are, there’s someone for every problem on here.
 
Thanks for the welcome, the Floggers are for when I've been singing Wives, wives, wives by Sean Lock a bit to much around the house, usually get the woman to cut the leather down for me and I do the rest
 
Hi Darren, I'm a little closer than Sam, just north of Morpeth. If a footy fan I'd want to know whether of red & white or black & white persuasion of course. :ROFLMAO:
