• 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!

    Workshop planning: from small acorns...

    Right; here goes. Thanks to much of the wisdom and experience shared here already, I've kidded myself that I can pull off a new workshop. And that a new workshop is more pressing than a fully functioning bathroom. At the moment I'm only in the early planning stages, and as Donald Rumsfeld...

    Greetings from the frozen north (pennines)

    This is the new bench chewing up the old bench top. I converted the old top into a kind of low carving bench, which at the moment is doubling up as a desk, since it turns out to be the perfect height to work at a laptop or sketch at whilst I'm sat on my arse on the sofa.

    Greetings from the frozen north (pennines)

    Cheers Dave. I did hear mention of that. Here's one of the current temp workshop with newish bench. Turns out a wooden screw in a pennine climate and fairly permeable shed isn't a great combination. A few turns of that each day is giving me a good workout. I'd had the screw stored under a...

    Greetings from the frozen north (pennines)

    Hello all, and have a grand long weekend if you're in the UK. And massive thanks to Mark for sifting me out from all the algorithmically generated simulacra. I started woodworking 10 years ago when I moved back to northeast England to get a flat. Handtools only by necessity, as it was a...
