• 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!

Hi all,
I have just joined this forum at the beginning of my (late in life) start in woodworking. I am a mining engineer and have long been into mechanical and electrical engineering and, oddly enough, making model aircraft! The move to wood has been a natural development as I get older! I am not into lying on the ground, kneeling and crouching these days so no more car building!
So, I have built a workshop, 7m x 3m (see pic) and am busy filling it u with toys using the proceeds of selling my metalworking gear, Myford Super 7 et al. My wife cant moan about that...much.
I dont think that I will be able to develop the hand skills to come close to lifelong woodworkers (my brother in law for example who can hand saw an 8 x 4 sheet in half perfectly) so I am looking to machinery to help and I love that bit!
OK enough, I like the look of this forum and no doubt will be asking for lots of help so thanks in advance!
John
ps sorry no pic - takes a bit of working out...soon i hope
 
Welcome to TWH2 John. Glad you took the hint and dropped in. Its a friendly place and all sorts of expertise to call upon.
You will need another couple of posts under your belt before the moderation thing goes away and then you will be able to post photos. There is a tutorial in the tips section on how to do this.

Cheers
Bob
 
Hello and welcome to the forum.

Looking forward to your 3rd post so you can share those pictures..
 
Well this should be my third! I will have to sort this photo bucket thing out. On the other forum I use you can post direct from your device.

Hello and welcome.

I've got a KK Super 60 on top of the wardrobe, part finished. price on the box - £8/19/11d!!!!

I'll finish it one day!
 
Welcome John. Lovely part of the world, Cheddar, in East Devon :)

Enjoy the forum.
 
Welcome aboard. You managed to duplicate the last post so you count is up to 4. Plenty enough to start posting images. Hosting photos off site, ie photobucket, helps keep the forum costs and admin down. If you get stuck just shout.

John, I have sorted out your photo and left your original image string for reference.

All you need to do is copy the string of characters in the box labelled IMG, it is normally the last of 4. Then copy that string into the posts. You do not need to use the Img tags above if you do it this way. Hope that helps.

Great workshop BTW. I have seen a few but never one with a door like that. Great idea.
 
Andy,

Thanks very much. I was trying to do it on an iPad which, coupled with my innate dumbness proved a bit difficult.
Yes the door is remotely controlled, I love it!
More pics tomorrow

John
 
By the way, I meant to thank you all for the warm welcomes.
Mike, I am a Devon boy, from Plymouth originally so have no problem with Devon annexing Somerset...! They will probably take my passport away now

Good to hear it. I'm (sort of) from North Devon. School in Barnstable, lived on the edge of Exmoor.
 
Welcome aboard John.

Look forward to seeing stuff start to come out of your workshop, models too, I have young kids and when my shop is built I want to start doing some modelling with them.

Cheers
Mark
 
Mark, I am away on what is turning into a 4 day binge on the IOW right now but when I get back I will post some pics of a model car I have been making for my Grandchildren. I mean model as in a sit in drive able one! It's a Toylander if anyone had come across them

Hi John,

Welcome to the Forum from Yorkshire. Not been a member long myself, but the folk ...seem... friendly enough ;) ... and very helpful indeed. Great to have some more electrical and mechanical knowledge on the boards.

Nice looking shop, look forward to seeing some projects - we love pix :eusa-dance:

I was born 'n' bred on the IoW (webbed feet and all that!), it's a beautiful place - enjoy
:obscene-drinkingcheers:

Cheers,

Jim
