• 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!

    Does anyone know what this is ?

    Mitre saw hold down shafts? The witness markings around the upper section might suggest so.

    Epoxy questions for a slowing things down hack?

    Hello folks Had another go at trying to find information on tinting two part epoxy, just to see if there's mention of mixing pigments with the hardener, and all I can find is Totalboat or West systems slow setting stuff, which looks very different to what I have. The only info I've seen...

    Epoxy questions for a slowing things down hack?

    Good for others to know Rob, though I've spent my glue sniffin funds on a half price infrared thermometer which might actually come in handy today, re-Trevanion's post. My older gun got confiscated, and been waiting for them in the bargain section. Indeed Jim, plastic strips might be a...

    Epoxy questions for a slowing things down hack?

    Hello folks I'm needing to fill the terrible gaps around a router table insert plate, which I failed miserably at installing yesterday. Hoping I could use a dust and epoxy mix of the same horrible but good material for the job. I'll have to clean things up yet, and get the plate leveled and...

    Kity 419 table saw.

    One reason for having a riving knife which can be used for such being these kinda cuts. Just mentioning since you have two of them, (presuming they are the same thickness) Handy to have the spare really as you could use it as a template, should you have some suitable stock around. That could...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Well.... time came for the job of sinking that plate. Let me start off by saying there's no decent router tutorial out there, well at least not what I've seen, and as far as I'm aware, there's no website containing woodworking content called "real tube" :mad: i.e without all the gizmo's you see...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Already forgetting the upgrade to the forum you've done Alasdair? It sure makes things a doddle for posting, so it's us who should be thankful to yourself. Still seeking some kind of answer as to what three sizes of ole's in these insert rings I should be considering, and as of yet only...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    That didn't turn out too bad at all, I was expecting the plates to move about. Few tacks before getting everything off that black stuff. Lousy welds, but I was proceeding with caution. I didn't rig up anything for holding the discs when angle grinding, and had a few slips, so I tried resting...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Getting eager to see how the next stage will fair out, finished off the rough cutting This wee chainsaw file (twas in the chainsaw section) is a fair bit smaller than it looks here, and was great for a little scraping of the bottom. Nice to have the belt sander proving its worth it's keep...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Hopefully I can give ye an update later on things, as didn't get into the shed much since... I'll add some pics to this post, as it will make better sense in a bit. All done so far was to drill out five holes in each on the smaller plates for welding to the upper portion. Scribed five points...

    The worst safety glasses I've ever had the misfortune to buy. But SUPERB service from Uvex

    You don't know comfort until you try on a pair without the wrap around ear piece.. (courtesy of the dog) Had a few pairs of those, and even some without. Not quite so convenient requiring builders line. :ROFLMAO:

    Moving house - spindle moulder dilemma

    Well I might have half of it, it's part of an old tablesaw where there should really be a spindle but just joking really, as there seems to be little value of these machines. (one on the other place was/is going for free in Essex, with tooling, which someone just offered cash for, ) . I know...

    Moving house - spindle moulder dilemma

    That li'l Dominion spindle is just too cute, I'd love to see more. Looks kinda like something which one could possibly make for themselves, if they had some bits and bobs, but no funds to buy a 500 quid Wadkin of some sort down the road. 🙃

    Got the retaining lip thingy welded up, not without a fight I might add!. 😅 Might need a bit of a scrape in spots, must look for another marker for the job. Went well enough, though I ended up with it on the wrong side, as there's evidence of a little bracket on the top side, though not enough...

    Got the first disc/insert ring fitted for the next job and cut four rings from some pipe The vice came in handy for getting the fit right and ground some chamfers to get them welded up

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Drilled the plates out to 8mm which I presume would be the smallest I'd need, say for a 1/4" bit should that be of any use. Not really sure what would be the best choice, if my half inch straight bit arrives for the router, it may be the only one I'll have for a while...:unsure: The pair of...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Just a little update on things so far, not got much done since as the weathers been good. You might note the marker used to ensure I don't go beyond the line at the far end of the cut Which leaves a little "tenting" to be removed... which I can't say I done satisfactory trying various things on...

    Interesting veneering video on making a star pattern

    Hello again I've taken some more screenshots of things, as I guess at thirty five minutes long... the video is too long for some folks to watch. It seems some wire crossing has happened, as I didn't think posting the whole show might be necessary, and instead mentioned specifically the two tips...

    Interesting veneering video on making a star pattern

    But have you ever seen before, or have needed to use the tip of flipping the segments in order to get the best colour match, since you've used presumably veneer which you've sawn yourself.. or indeed perhaps if a pack didn't make the cut? Likewise, the grouping the veneers to suit the grain...
