• 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!

    How Not To Make A Box

    Whatever made me think doing this was a good idea for a beginner..... wenge and purpleheart for the net box lid (and originally base, but thinking I should just use CoL and save this for another lid)

    How Not To Make A Box

    Once it was all glued up, which went "reasonably" well although not perfect even though I used a Veritas framing square to help me get it straight, I needed to cut the splines. I used a think strip of the sycamore to make them as I had plenty of excess. To cut the grooves I make a 45 degree...

    How Not To Make A Box

    This might be a long post (also sorry I didn't rotate the photos) So, after spending the best part of about 3 months actually building a workshop with enough work surface to not cause endless frustration I started the other day to make something nice. Well, nice as in not made of plywood or...

    Workbenches

    Few more updates. Finishing line getting closer, but at least after today the router table and fence will be functional, if not complete (still have to wire in the NVR for example). Glueing up the supports on the fence is my next job....

    Hand cut dovetails are really easy!

    Well, I tried.

    Workbenches

    Thought I'd put an update on here, this is the current state of the router table that I made in the same sort of design. The intention is that it can be used to increase my benchspace by 50% when not being used as a router table, so it's quite handy. Luckily they fit together pretty well...

    Workbenches

    Apologies if you've erm, seen these elsewhere. Workbench 1205x600 (haven't trimmed it yet, might not bother) and Router table 600x599 (oops). Plenty of mistakes but they look nice at least. Made with 18mm BB ply and 19mm Valchromat. Bench only needs finish applying to the Valchromat, but it's...
