• 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!

    I have been such a bloody fool

    I had COVID last week, and I'm about 90% better now. It's going around the UK quite a lot now, nearly everyone I speak to knows someone who's caught it (or has caught it themselves). Was like a very bad cold, maybe not as bad as flu, bust close. The bad symptoms lasted 5 days for me, then a...

    I made a new tool............but what's it for?

    I would use that to get all the tooth paste out of the tube.

    USB charging

    You are over thinking it :-) If it fits and was made in the last ~2 years, it will work.

    Dynamic pricing

    I always browse using one browser, and then when I'm ready to purchase I go to another browser using private browsing mode, or even better, from my Phone (a different network). I really don't know if they intentionally do this, but i've observed shenanigans and this way I'm at least trying my...

    You know you're having a stressful day when...

    ridiculous. Obviously the answer is cascamite. The real question, what type of cramping method? And also, would a 5mm domino be overkill?

    Kitchen Dilema!

    Tangent: Does your daughter have kids and use lots of dishes? Then, I recommend.... wait for it... TWO dishwashers. It's the best most efficient thing you can do in your kitchen. No more emptying clean dishes in a cupboard only to take them back out. No more dirty dishes piling up in the sink or...

    Problem with Lime mortar.

    Lime related Tangent: Fun story (well I think so). I was applying lime plaster to the inside of my dining room a couple years back - using my standard Wickes Hawk and trowel. It was quiet, and I started to hear what sounded like radio static. I wasn't imagining it. I'd hear it, put down my hawk...

    British migration

    Please tell me where the £70K houses are (seriously) and £200K new builds. I might become your new neighbour!!

    Rant

    I'm sorry to hear this, my condolences to you and your family. I hope things go as well as they can from here. My family and I have experienced both very good service (literally saved my life last Christmas) and very bad service where the problem/issue was allowed to get worse through...

    Ultra-processed food ?

    Wait until everyone realizes that vegetable and seed oils are only good for machinery and lighting lamps! They should never be eaten. The only fats we should be eating are animal derived and fruit fats (olive, avocado, etc.). I know this is controversial - but it's true :-) (cue the furore)

    Imported tat

    So, here's my review: Ratchet guide rail clamps - £11 each: Thumbs up! sturdy and easy to use. Time will tell, but so far so good. 60% cheaper than Axminster Aluminium, T-square (woodpecker dupe) 24"/60cm: £27 Double thumbs up! completely accurate, high quality. Sadly, i bought imperial instead...

    Imported tat

    I just bought a bunch of stuff from Temu. It's the kind of stuff I would normally not spend money on the known brands. E.g. I bought some quick-clamp style guide rail clamps, drawer handle / slider jig, overlay drawer front clamps, an aluminium T-square. I will let you know what the quality is...

    Vegetarian / vegan cookbook recommendations?

    This Veggie route you are going down sounds like a big missed-steak... (geddit?? missed-steak? badum-tsh!)

    Creating new tumbled edge on freshly cut limestone

    I have seen (but never tried personally) someone soak/wet the edges you need 'tumbled' and then hold a very hot blow torch to it. The water in the edge (but not too deep in) causes it it flake and you get the tumbled effect. This was on thick limestone slabs, so you might want to do a few tests...

    I just don't like the handle texture on the blue 5002.I find it slips

    Quick window regulation query

    Sorry if this is a silly question, but if the window is large enough, e.g. 1200mmx1200mm, on standard upvc friction hinges, would it still be compliant because you can still get through the large window opening, even if it doesn't have special hinges/design?

    Woodworking in a car.

    I read the title and thought this meant something else entirely. I half jokingly often suggest to my wife that I buy a very large transit van (tall and long wheel base) and park it on our road (away from neighbours) and use it like a workshop. A whole 'workshop' for the price of insurance, road...

    Reliable long life water hose gun?

    I have bought cheap and expensive and nothing seems to last. I buy a new one every year now. Just bought one last week from Lidl. '3 year warranty' yeah right :-) worth it for £4.99 tho.
