• 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!

    Extra Oak Shelf - Finishing?

    Recently I purchased an oak bookcase - as my work working skills don't yet extend to total construction. I asked the vendor if they would sell me an extra shelf, as the items I'm displaying were too small for the 3 spaces as standard. They refused to sell me a shelf, which I thought was a bit...

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    OK, so that's the space, and as this is WoodHaven, I ought to focus on any woodwork I do in there. Now I'm the first to admit, I'm a wood mangler, mainly building stage scenery, which only has to look good from about 25 feet away, so this makes anything I do for home a bit of a stretch quality...

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    Thanks! it's been a few years to get it to this stage, and now I'm doing small jobs to improve. The Meridian One Option 11 telephone exchange provides me with dial tone and ringing to test my collection of GPO bakelite telephones. I collect mainly 1920's to 1950's, and here is the incoming...

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    A quick look around the workshop / garage as it is now:

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    Hi Rod, Yes the cars live in there, but I try not to use these in really bad weather, so they tend not to be wet when I put them away. I did briefly have a Carcoon, but frankly now the garage is heated, it is fine in there, the cars stay way above the dew point, and with the Evohome heating...

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    This summer I added a Bosch GAS 35L to the workshop, replacing a stack of L-boxxes at the end of the workbench: This took the pressure off the Garagevac, which can now return to car and general workshop floor duties. As the new GAS had displaced a few L-boxxes, I made a few soffit storage...

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    It was a little damp, but once aired and dried out, it has been fine. These older houses need to breathe, and the PO had just kept the workshop shut up as storage. Recently I have had a radiator plumbed into the central heating circuit, with the old door it wasn't worth it, but now the new door...

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    I added more L-boxxes as they came up on discount: As this process has taken a few years - the pictures do jump around a bit, but the next job was to do something about the garage door, it had blwon into my car on more than one occasion, luckily hitted the rubber of the tyre, but this luck...

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    Enclosing the workbench: I fitted a GarageVac, which did sterling service as a power tool extractor, but filled the bag up at an alarming rate:

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    As the organiser boxes in the L-Boxx range were to expensive for the amount I wanted, small parts were placed in the Screwfix and Stanley organisers: I also built a tool board over the washing machine area: I enclosed the Clarke workbench I had purchased years ago, and created an...

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    Then a Eco-tile floor was fitted, over a weed suppression fabric: A Elfa shelving system was fitted, to house my collection of varied tool boxes and bags: About this time, I decided to standardise on storage, and chose the Sortimo / Bosch L-Boxx system:

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    Then all the contents were pushed to the centre and the walls spray painted: The washing machine and dryer were too big for the kitchen and the hallway / conservatory, so they had to be housed in here as well:

    The Mews Cottage Workshop

    Although I started my workshop / garage build some years ago, and documented it on the US Garage Journal forum, I thought it would be of interest to post a quick overview here, amongst other mainly UK workshops. This was the garage and workshop as found when I first purchased the property. It...

    Lightweight Paulk Workbench

    Hi all. I'm really keen to build myself a modified Paulk type workbench, to be used at my local am-dram hall. I'm a bit tired of cutting timber balanced across a dustbin or on the stage edge. I reckon a smaller Paulk workbench is the way to go, but I've seen a variant that uses much thinner...

    Bosch 18v Cordless Plunge Track Saw

    There have been a few clues scattered about the internet talking about a forthcoming 18v Track Saw from Bosch: https://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?blogId=creep008&logNo=221474159216&categoryNo=0&parentCategoryNo=0&viewDate=&currentPage=1&postListTopCurrentPage=1&from=postView This is the best...
