• 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!

Greetings, wood workers.

A new comer. Come to know of this forum from a member (also a member here I think) in UKWorkshop.

Apprenticeship in welding. And I love technical works.

Looking forward to learn things in here.

Thanks,
Babangida.
 
Welcome - I don't think that we have many members in Nigeria, but you are very welcome...
Look forward to seeing what you do! Photos are always welcomed...
 
Welcome aboard Babangida

I've never done any welding but it's something I would love to learn to do. Perhaps you will share some of your work with us.

Cheers
Mark
 
Welcome, Babangida.

Whereabouts in Nigeria are you? I drove across the country a few years ago as part of a trans-Africa drive down to Cape Town. Drunken Nigerian border officials.........I could tell a few stories.
 
I am in NW region, Zamfara State precisely.
 
Welcome Babangida. I'm a self-taught and not-especially good TIG welder, but I find it very useful for all sorts of little projects. I'll be very interested to see some of your work.

I drove through there. I went from Niamey to Kaduna, Jos, and down to Bamenda. Yours is an arid area, from what I remember, with camels being common. Cattle with massive horns everywhere.
 
^^^ exactly!
Scanty vegetation (sudan savanna), many baobab trees, farming activities, sunny wheather, etc.

Nice to your tour.
 
*weather.

Some parts are more cloudy, rainforest, cold climate. Jos has plateu land. Kaduna is an urbanised city.
 
Niamey, Niger Republic. (There is Niger State, Nigeria).

To add, I am learning SMAW (stick) welding.

Thank you everyone for your warm/cordial welcoming.
 
Welcome Babangida! I taught Introductory Technology for three years (from 1986!) at Etinan Institute Akwa Ibom state (then Cross River) Very happy memories and stories that I hesitate to tell to most!.
I used to love watching the local furniture makers working entirely with hand tools from sawn timber and the welders (no masks!) and the casting was fascinating to watch too.
When I read your post I was hoping that you were Ibibio so that I could have written something in the language. Anyway... Mokomo, aba die? ufan mi! Ami andikpert ke Etinan Institute isua ita.
I traveled a little in the north staying in Kano. When I was there first a bottle of Star was just Naira 1.50! and probably about the same for a plate of goat meat. Cheers.

You taught Intro Tech when I was not even nearly born! Kudos to your nice experiences and speaking of Ibibio.

I am a Hausa by tongue.
Glad to meet you guys.
