• 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!

    Super glue and activator packs withdrawn at Toolstation

    Morning all I think they withdrew all the stock, in the middle of my transaction. By the time Roger opened the link, the stock data had been updated.

    Spindle gouges

    Hello Mike I don't deburr, but I know some do. I'll give it a try to see if it makes a difference. I don't try to get a chisel quality edge. My fine wheel is (I think) about 100 grit and the coarse is 36 I've got a few old carbon steel tools. They seem to take a sharper edge, but dont last as...

    Spindle gouges

    Morning Mike If you look at the cutting edge of the spindle gouge, it should be a smooth continuous curve. Because the grind doen't go all the way round the gouge you have 'points' where the grind stops. That would probably explain the poor finish from the spindle gouge. I prefer a...
