• 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!

Have been on another site for a few years and now here.
Living on a small property ( 8 acres ) on the mid north coast of NSW - now retired and have a bit more time to indulge in the workshop.
Love working in wood, stainless steel and brass
 
Welcome, Sawtooth.

I'm sure Wallace will be along soon ! After three posts, you're clear of 'approvals' and can send him a PM should you wish.
 
Thanks for the welcome.
Yes, we all love some pics.
Recently I have had to make some modifications to "whirrling bowls"
I have made a few of these over the past years, but the accuracy of a Shaublin mill, created a problem.
On the other site, I posted a thread under the title of " Twisted " which explains.
If there is any interest I will "spin" the yarn on this site _ plenty of pics.

Every saw has teeth - but I seem to be missing a few lately.
I guess Toothless is not more of a mouth full than sawtooth !
 
Welcome Sawtooth. What part of NSW are you? I lived in Perth and Melbourne as a youngster, but I've also had stints in Sydney and Adelaide, and have traveled around elsewhere in Oz.
 
Good morning from NW France and welcome. Do you have a “small” workshop too :) .
Dunno what you mean by swirling bowls. Would love to see pics if you have time.

Image posting can be problematic so please take the time to read this thread

Bellingen, which is near Coffs Harbour ( about half way between Sydney and Brisbane.
Retired here from Sydney.
 
Very nice Sawtooth, I will be sending snapshots of your work ( hope you don’t mind) to newly acquired Daughter who is big on Knitting, trouble is she will want the same and be expecting me to be as clever as you!

If you go to UKWorkshop you will find my post entitled " Twisted ", That will give a full picture of the history of our passion for fibre processing. Includes spinning wheels, Skein and ball winder, whirling bowls and the resultant garments from twined knitting with ultra fine spun suri alpaca
These "devices" allow me to indulge in my love for combining metal and wood
The recent modifications to the whirling bowls are a result of the Shaublin mill being so accurate, there is almost zero resistance to each bowl spinning - so when the locking pin is removed and the arm swung, tye bowls also spin. I am inserting a static brake on the bowls to prevent this problem

Ah, right. The nearest I've been to there is Port Macquarie, although I've also been to Brisbane (and Cairns). I remember it being pretty humid in Port Macquarie, and the further north you go, the more humid it gets.

Welcome! Lovely home and sash windows. Can I ask where the weights are concealed for your windows?
Click to expand...
These windows use spiral springs ( you can see this if you expand the pic. They are the black "rods" showing on the sides.
The windows in our lounge room are conventional counter weights.

Windows, if you're seeking them over here they are called 'spiral sash balances'..or variations thereof
