• 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!

    Which contact adhesive?

    well some thixofix and a preliminary sand, they turned out ok although a bit thick. I ended up widening the drawer bottom groove to sand less and the back sits in a rebate so no bother there. An ideal job for a drum sander but i think I dont think i could justify one of those.

    Which contact adhesive?

    Sure thing, I have a Laguna 18BX, the blades I use are from tuffsaws. depending on what im cutting I use one of these: M42 (Wood Cutting) Bandsaw Blade - 3673mm x 1/2" x 6/10 Vari-Tooth M42 (Wood Cutting) Bandsaw Blade - 3673mm x 3/4" x 3tpi I even popped out to cut a sample and take a snap...

    Which contact adhesive?

    Evening chaps! I need to veneer a cabinet back and drawer bottom. my plan is to resaw some oak for the veneers around 2 mm which i guess will end up 1-1.5mm after sanding. i plan to use 4 or 5mm ply as a substrate and with the lack of a vac system or long reach clamps was just planning to use...

    MAGNETS! do you?

    I really need to add a lot more and hae no idea why i haven't used them extensively already for holding things up. The initial reason was a veritas plane which wont just sit behind a lip without jigery pokery as seen, but this is a much easier operation.

    MAGNETS! do you?

    I recently knocked up a small house for my planes, just used screws so i can move the dividers for upcoming additions. Do you chaps use magnets? I found they are excellent for holding those pesky Veritas planes where the handle sticks out. Also great for smaller planes to keep them grounded...

    screwdriver recommendation

    specifically for chip breakers, i dont fancy £50 on a Veritas or Lie Nielson screwdriver and i just slightly borked my chip breaker screw on a new plane using a screwdriver too small. :oops:

    a precious question

    I know this may come across as being a bit delicate, but having been on a bit of a hand tool buying splurge recently (sadly not used/vintage as im just too lazy to fettle) how do you deal with all the mess as hand tool woodworkers? this maybe a bit OCD but i find myself constantly turning on...

    Bench top advice wanted please

    So progress has been made, Vise should turn up tomorrow hopefully. I added the 3mm shallow drill points for a parf dog layout, but i only intend a row from the Vice and maybe a couple of others like where i put the plane stop. Im thinking of removing the 3 front coach screws and replacing with...

    Bench top advice wanted please

    So I think i may have shown my "worktable" previously. its a 2x4 frame, legs laminated to 4x4, its all a bit ish. it holds my folded up MFT with a router table next to it all in one. The problem with an MFT is its less than useless for anything involving a hammer or a plane. so i wanted to...

    new square not square?

    I'm assuming im doing it right? this came yesterday and i have checked it against a 12" starrett combi as well as 10" and 12" engineers squares from Kinex. seems this should be a bit better for 6" and a hundred quid ? for hands free I used a small clamp to keep it in place and a little light panel
