• 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!

    Kity 636 table adjustment

    Thanks Steve, I’m realising this is going to take some time to sort. My current problem is the infeed table is skewed, relative to the cutter head. If I tighten the green screws (pictured) the table skews. The side bolts offer vertical adjustments, but nothing lateral. I can’t get it straight!

    Kity 636 table adjustment

    Thank you for your swift reply, Bob! Coincidentally, I watched Steve’s video on YouTube last night and he made it all looks so simple! Sadly, I haven’t been able to replicate any success thus far.

    Kity 636 table adjustment

    I’m trying (and failing miserably) to eliminate problems with my aged Kity 636 planer/thicknesser. I’m trying to get the infeed/outfeed tables to be planar to each other, they’re current out of wind. I’ve tried loosening the three bolts on each side of the outfeed table, but one is obscured by...

    Shadow lines with flush-fitting face frames

    Hi all, I wanted to thank you for all the help you've provided. I don’t know if anyone is interested, but I’m grateful for all your suggestions and sometimes it’s useful to offer some feedback on how stuff went. The install was a tricksy beast, mainly due to me allowing a mere 25mm between the...

    Shadow lines with flush-fitting face frames

    I think either approach would work, but I’d love to know what the “correct” way to do this would be, if there is such a thing.

    Shadow lines with flush-fitting face frames

    Sorry Mike, I appreciate the help! Here’s the plan (literally)… In my first post one photograph is of the shadow line I’ve routed into the side of the bookcase components (annotated in yellow on the plan). The other is a close up of the bottom of the bookcase (blue on the plan), where the face...

    Shadow lines with flush-fitting face frames

    Yes, it’s overhanging the carcase by 6mm on the sides and top edges with the exception of the bottom.

    Portable Vice/Vise

    That’s some fancy workshop you’ve got herself there! Space for paintings!

    Shadow lines with flush-fitting face frames

    Leaning towards the flush fit at the moment…. A shadow line on the bottom shelves may become a literal dust-trap!

    Shadow lines with flush-fitting face frames

    Sorry, maybe I wasn’t clear. I’ve already used shadow a line on a horizontal side panel, which returns to the wall. I attached one image of the 2 45 degree bevels I machined. But I haven’t created a ‘V’ where the shelf meets the face frame (my other picture). I’m wondering whether it would be...

    Shadow lines with flush-fitting face frames

    I’ve a small commission, to make a couple of fitted bookcases. The lowest shelves have a flush-fitting face frame and I’m concerned about the joint line between the self and face frame cracking over time. My dry-fit is good but I’m sure fate will decree otherwise, when I’m fitting them on site...

    Being daring with 21mm sawn boards

    At the risk of being a Negative Nellie, this did cross my mind! As for wood hoarding, I have very little space so it might be time to exercise some self restraint! Thanks for all the advice and input, it’s greatly appreciated.

    Being daring with 21mm sawn boards

    Thanks for the advice, I think I’ll get a small amount… A couple of friends are giddy with excitement, so I don’t want to tread on their toes, but I think for my needs 1” boards would be a better bet. Stay tuned for my next post… in 2 weeks, called “where can I buy 21mm Poplar for cheap?” It’s...

    Being daring with 21mm sawn boards

    I’ve been offered some rough sawn 21mm Poplar boards for cheaps! However, before getting all excited, I realise getting 18mm stock off the planer might be a bit risky. I usually buy 1” to allow for my inevitable mishaps. The miser in me says “yeah! Go for it” but I’m not sure. Do any of you...

    How would you approach this carcase joinery?

    Being a master craftsman and marketing genius, I once considered a fitted furniture company called Shonky Shelves(TM)… sadly my friends didn’t feel like it sent the right messages!
