• 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!

    Startrite table saw - table alignment help

    I'm no expert on these, but it looks like it's in good nick. My one had one of the handles broken, and possibly some issues because of it. Top is pretty darn flat on my DS 275 version (sliding table) otherwise the same with twin mitre slot, left tilting blade, your future one has a less...

    Hello everyone.

    Nice to see you here Distinterior, as I might have a question for you regarding my 275. I did plan sending you PM on the other place about it, but it seemed that the conglomerate has made a start on the paywall/privileges plan, though that could just be me auld laptop! Hoping I can get back...

    The Accidental Woodworking Club

    For the ambitious, I think the panel gauge is an excellent choice, to come away with a tool at the end, would add more value to me. What about some trestles like Ben's, with some long planks straightened up, it would make for a decent fairly portable workbench. Once again, for those with that...

    Suggestions for excavating this hole

    Haha, I missed that one Steve! Well, if there ever was one, I guessed this might be it, but I guess RogerS isn't so silly as to potentially waste his time! Scratchng me ceann again on another application on where it might be useful. ...until then I suppose.

    Suggestions for excavating this hole

    Just posting this for fun really, since I've never seen anyone else do it, Nor have I ever tried the method either... but it just might be a suitable application....but that's only if you've got a pillar drill, and can use it on the..(seemingly disassembled?) stile.. Or... if you've got a...

    Bandsaw 'fettling'...

    p.s. Another thought which might not be so displeasing, an option should this happen being, there's nothing stopping you from gluing the old ones, (should they be the loosest fit) onto the new ones, and crowning them thereafter. Though finding a suitable adhesive might prove to be quite...

    Bandsaw 'fettling'...

    Hello again, sorry to sound so pessimistic about things, but I would expect the new tyre to fly off aswell, very quickly as per the usual bandsaw troubleshooting threads. i.e. I would be very surprised if that doesn't happen. Once again, worth studying the top Italian machines to see their...

    Bandsaw 'fettling'...

    I doubt they came loose, just that there is likely misalignment between the wheels or motor, and as Steve mentions rightly, not to touch them, without being positive that is the only solution possible, as things can go wrong in an instant.... i.e. destroyed motor,or worn wheel bore. You'll...

    Bandsaw 'fettling'...

    Hello again Accipiter, I mentioned a new blade or one in good condition, i.e not cracked, to be sure the wobble wasn't because of that. A blade with compressed set will still run perfectly...(I don't mean cutting) Not sure what the max width (thin gauge) blade which that saw could run, I guess...

    Bandsaw 'fettling'...

    Hello, wobble and vibration issues is likely due to misalignment of the wheels, Well...that is the case if the blade is in good condition. I've posted many threads on such, just about everywhere, which you'd easily find if you searched for wheel and motor alignment. Note to seek info from late...

    Spindle Moulder Fence material

    There's a UK company called Metallization, who can seemingly coat anything (i.e. even a credit card) with anything. I found the video impressive, to say the least, and I think anyone after seeing it, would be hard pressed to imagine that this isn't going to become more common. Although, I...

    Heavy news to hear Mark, looks like she had a good life with ye. Difficult to offer any advice, as I dare not wish to think a about such, for our pals.

    A timely time for a chainsaw thread. Thought I'd post an excellent channel or two, to look for... Buckin' Billy's channel is a hoot, probably the most popular and entertaining on the tube... https://www.youtube.com/@BuckinBillyRaySmith Here's another fella I've found yesterday, which goes into...

    Very basic restoration!

    I should have added Robbie, that would be the way I'd suggest for removal of varnish or paint, from the show face, the back and the long grain edges of the piece. (but, not the end grain, which would likely have to be sanded) Though this piece you've shown, has a decal of some sort...though...

    Very basic restoration!

    Welcome to the forum Robbie. The cabinet/card scraper, i.e an offcut from a disposable handsaw, would be the tool I'd suggest. A fine, single cut file, like a "farmers own" style, would be suitable to get a sharp/crisp 90 deg edge on the tool. You might want a perfectly square block of timber...

    Quick introducton :)

    Hello again Michele More curious about the kerfing plane, and those who use one, and I suppose especially so regarding the chore element, as the heavier duty frame saw looks a more reasonable proposition, for those without space or historical interest. In my mind, the latter doing such for...
