• 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!

In praise of cabinet scrapers.

One of the boatbuilders I follow on Youtube faired the whole hull of his current project with one. It really isn't just for the final lick 'n polish.

Mike, talking of boatbuilding, I noticed that Tooltique has quite a few caulking irons on the "new in" section. Example here: https://www.tooltique.co.uk/shop/vi...hts-3-½-fantail-caulking-iron-good-condition/

I know you don't like acquiring tools for the sake of it, but I'm sure you'll need some of those for when you start making your boat...
 
If I start making a boat my wife will bury me under the patio. :lol: I have to get my boat building kicks vicariously.
 
Start with a cedar strip canoe and have her help and then just go bigger from there
:eusa-whistle:

Could you start making the hull upside down and claim it's the greenhouse...?

I've got a cedar strip project in the pipeline. It isn't a boat, though.

Bah. Genesis 6:14 and the current weather. Adopt a thousand yard stare and intone: ‘Make thee an ark of gopher wood’.

Biblical authority. Just go with that. What could possibly go wrong.

Now, how does gopher wood plane?

That a coincidence. I was describing one today to a client (an electronic design client) when we veered of topic. I was remembering the simple sheet steel ones I used to use where you had to put a bit of tension into it with your thumbs. I did enjoy using those- very satisfying.
