• 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!

    Artificial Intelligence

    Does, or will anyone be attempting to learn from AI in the next decade? It seems a very similar write up between both of those folks. It kinda seems like there needs to be or there will be a wiki citation option for those who actually want straight answers, proof of claims and whatnot. In a...

    Combination machine a wise move?

    My own personal take on the matter, is that I'm not really in a position to do things any differently.. i.e the goal of having a no overheads workshop, (without real heavy duty stuff like a PT or whatever) and one which could be moved and made functional somewhere else without too much bother...

    Combination machine a wise move?

    I can well imagine how much difference the floor makes, specifically for a PT, that is, a rather heavy machine compared... as I've had to make changes to my tablesaw mobile base design, to accomodate captured feet. I've had to have my saw in this exact position, (which took a lot of trial &...

    Ahm Ai bovvered?

    I wouldn't be surprised if the conglomerate decided to do the same as what they've done to the other forums, i.e lumberjocks, my tractor forum, and some German Shepherd forums, i.e blank the screen off completely, (text and pictures, that is).. until presumably singed in? Doesn't to me, seem...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Thanks Andy, how you managed to find that, never heard of Robert Frohn before. I must give the stamp another bit of a rub to see if the hammer is still the same shape, just to see if that might give some more clues as to whether the name might have changed hands, since I don't see any other...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    I was referring to the cold chisel Andy, if indeed that's what it's called. Perhaps it might have some other term. should it be intended for stonemasons, blacksmiths or another craftsperson? @vaj Cheers, hoping the rest of the work goes as smoothly. All the best Tom

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Just about finished tidying up the hole. I'd love to know what this makers mark is...anybody? That's after four thumps IIRC Turned over and repeated Started with a triangular file Needed to do some essential Feng Shui for comfort to proceed I'd say I only got lucky that I didn't go...

    Do we need more money in the meter ?

    Are you hitting the insert image icon on the top?... I don't think that works for my computer. Have you tried simply dragging the picture onto where your writing, that's one of the best things about the site upgrade. All the best Tom

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Found a 16mm washer, and marked out the underside to see if it looked OK... Seems I might be able to get away with a bit of filing those holes without them becoming overly enlarged... not sure yet. Made a start on the big ole Not a great setup, as I was only messing about really This could...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Went out and checked what size bits I had, just to see if I was lucky one of the bits from liddles, or indeed the straight cutter in the medium sized router might be 18mm, but the closest in size is 16mm in the box. Whilst digging out that router, I did however find some sort of bush for it...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Looking more and more like I'll have to do it the hard way, and I've still got to see if I've got a suitable holesaw. Not being sure what this material is, as it's a composite of sorts, which is quite dense, seemingly a lot more in hardness to other plastics I've worked, something more like bone...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    That might be a better option with the grub screws, but numpty as I am, ended up thinking I had accounted for enough, and found I had to make the plate a little narrower than planned. I didn't reckon at the time I'd be wanting a hole about 97mm until I checked it, as that leaves not quite as...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Hi Mike, I'm wishing to find out a possible technique to rout out a recess for the steel insert plate to sit in. As of yet, just drilled a 1/2" hole drilled for centering up a bit, and using some machined half inch bar which will maintain alignment for marking out. (not ground the 3/4"...

    Router table insert plate build (rings laad)

    Hello folks, will have to excuse the lack of pics, but sure I can bump this up later with some. Making a router insert plate for a tablesaw extension wing at the moment... I've only marked out the rounded corners on this 8mm steel plate, but not shaped them yet, as I've kept the sharp edges for...

    Hi 2

    Another welcome from me Ian, I only recently came across some pics I'd saved of your super impressive cyclone build, from the first woodhaven site. The place was looking like a real productive setup, so it'll be interesting to see the place now. All the best Tom

    Interesting veneering video on making a star pattern

    "I bookmatch the headstocks, too, but they can never come out a mirror image. But I think that makes them more interesting. I'm lucky really to only have to work in pairs, instead of 8s or 10s" Indeed, so quite interesting to see the other technique mentioned, what's used to improve lining up...

    Interesting veneering video on making a star pattern

    No doubt you're very fimiliar with the first bit of the video Malcolm, i.e the use of a template (often acrylic) to see the grain is parallel with the joint for your tops (soundboards, for those unfamiliar with the terms) which I needn't screenshot... Regarding luthiere and/or guitar building...

    Interesting veneering video on making a star pattern

    Thought this video would be worth posting, as I learned a few tips from it. Most notable what I've not seen anyone suggest, orientation of the grain lines for more consistency whilst bookmatching. Flipping every second veneer, (note the circled numbers) is probably a well known thing to do...

    Bad Axe Saw Set

    Perhaps Interesting from a different perspective, if it could sort out old bandsaw blades too, albeit slowly should it be possible, then the idea might be worth the trade off, for some who don't have the space for large jiggery. Saying that, I'd love to know if there's a pliers type setting...
