• 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!

New to the Forum.

Hi from the Lancashire/Greater Manchester border.

I've been woodworking for just over a year, mostly turning but I occasionally get the handplanes and a board of something or other out on a rickety pair of sawhorses and attempt to push everything across the floor using the friction from a Stanley 4 1/2.

I'm unfortunately unemployed after I took a generous voluntary redundancy package and jumped from what turned out to be a quickly sinking ship. Probably the last bit of good judgement I can remember. So I'm woodworking on a budget at the moment with a fairly well stocked wood pile considering the speed I tend to work at.

I've just moved home, so the next order of business is to get a shed erected as cheaply as possible. All my tools are thankfully hidden among boxes and suitcases but as we slowly find a place for everything, I'm sure the lathe motor and bandsaw will become a bit more conspicuous in the middle of the dining room floor.

I've pottered around other forums, but someone pointed me this way as there seem to be a fair amount of well documented shed builds so I look forward to stealing as many ideas as I can.
 
Hi there mate, good to see another Northern lad joining the ranks! ;)

Once you've made 3 posts the approval process will stop and your posts will appear immediately.

Look forward to seeing your shed progress, I've been out in the garden today making some headway with mine. Update to follow later…

Don't forget to update your personal details so we know who you are (assuming you want to) and if you put your postcode in we can add you to the members map.

And the most import an of all rules, we love pictures!

Cheers

Good evening and welcome. I'm fairly new to the forum, too.

I've got just two weeks left for the PP to come through on my garden workshop and am using the time to model the construction drawings on Sketchup, (which gives me headaches at times!), but I find it useful to identify problems that an architect would be aware of in seconds.

I'm on a budget, too, and will be doing much myself, so we could learn from eachother as we go along. I've certainly learnt loads from the guys on this forum just by reading their posts - you know who you all are, thank you! :obscene-drinkingcheers:

Welcome to the forum. Wigan is a good enough fix for the map and you have been added. We love pictures around here, a couple more posts and you will be able to share with us some of you old or current projects.
