• 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 had 2 cortisone injections into the toe joints on left foot. All feeling first killed with some other stuff injected. Was painful when that wore off.

    3 Round tabletops

    Continued ............. Flip the jig over and measure from flute edge 295mm for the pin hole. Slightly smaller than the required 300mm to give a cleaner edge. Fit pin and set aside for a scheduled messy-dust-day as it will be done without the dust extraction fitted. To be continued later...

    Cereal shovel...

    Mine are easy & simple. Sunday oats with brown sugar and cinnamon. Other days alternate between home made health rusks (wife bakes) and brown bread with cheese and tomato. (not toasted, give indigestion) Eggs are one of the evening meals.

    Do we learn from past mistakes?

    No. No, and No. Cannot blame the FUF's visits. I am making two small trays, frame from Pine scraps and will do a WIP. The scraps were thicknessed and a groove routed for the floor. The corners would be overlaps. All nicely marked and a template to set the saw height. Parked the project for...
