• 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!

Xmas cuttings

Having been busy like a bee doing bee hives, I did not have much time to do a lot of Xmas cutting.

Found a Moose face which had a T-Light candle in it. Decided it would make a nice serviette holder.

Also some smaller items to hang on a tree.

The pattern is glued to some 3mm MDF or hardboard.
These are then cut out giving me templates to use again. Easy draw and cut.

The serviette holder is first.

It is crappy SA Pine with some Beech veneer glued on.

The cutting and drilling lifted some veneer, therefore the dark spot where it was superglued.

All done and sealed with 2 coats of Wooddoc 5.

Here they are ready for the table.
One each for son, DIL, GS, GD each one has their initial on the base.

The other items will be cut later in the new year.

Lovely. I keep saying I must fire up my scroll saw again - then my respiratory system reminds me not to do it just yet.

Thanks Gill

The scroll saw generates a lot of very fine dust, so you you don't want to risk it even with dust extraction.

Such a shame Gill, is a respirator dust mask out of the question?
 
Andy, new toy, it kept the kids busy while took a breather before eating home made apfel streuselkuchen with cream. 8-)
