• 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!

    Looks a lovely space Roger, plenty of light for the workbench up against those windows & plenty of room for the bandsaw & planer thicknesser behind.

    Those were £2300 around double the price of traditional sliding patio doors in the same colour.

    Nice to see some Fall colour.

    This dry weather we’ve been having has played havoc with our red leaved Acers, you’d think it was October not august with the colour they are funnily it’s not affected the green leaved ones 🤷‍♂️

    Yes Mike I’ve got some 8x4’ cold room panels, 4” insulation metal faced both sides which will sit between the uprights, I run out some timber strips today which will hold the panels in place. I’m trying to use up as much pine as I’ve got before I buy any more, most is fairly big sections but...

    Me back in the early nineties building my first brick built workshop at our previous home, I’d have probably been around 26-27. Happy to say it’s still standing

    Not posted in a while as works been really busy the last few months & looks like it’s going to continue that way up to Xmas, mainly mundane shower rooms the latest of which had had 2 trays fitted in 5 years both of which had cracked which wasn’t surprising as the floor was rotten leading to more...

    Pork Pie Raiser?

    That sounds about right, I made a few years ago for a local butcher, Mattty (anyone remember him :unsure:) had give me some 4” square beech & I turned them out of that & I remember it being just the right size for turning.

    I’ve wondered about that Jim, 20 years ago I grew two acers from seed they’ve made beautiful trees yet I was told at the time they wouldn’t come true from seed 🤷‍♂️

    Completely agree Mike I forgot to mention we’d done the same with Aldi’s sweet peppers Unfortunately we were a bit late ideally for sowing these but hopefully we’ll get at least one pepper by the end of the summer

    My wife’s favourite tomato by far is ALDI’s piccolato tomato Over the years I’ve grown dozens of different varieties but non have measured up to the Aldi ones she likes so much. This year instead of sowing packet seeds I sowed some fresh from a couple of the the Aldi tomatoes, I figured they...

    Good luck, DaveL

    My mates wife is a very down to earth horsey woman who when having her hip replacement under spinal anaesthetic commented to the surgeon after he’d cut through the joint & placed her leg akimbo “I wish my husband was here, that’s the furthest my legs have been apart in years” Best of luck Dave.

    It’s bite the bullet time on a replacement cordless drill.

    I was given one of these little Mafell drill drivers a year or so ago & I’ve been really impressed with it, it comes with two chucks a standard one & a quick release hex one shown standing on the timber in the photo. It also has a hex drive on the front of the drill which the 2 chucks clip...

    “Polyfiller”

    If you have a fair bit of filling to do then Gyproc easi-fill is the way to go https://www.toolstation.com/gyproc-easifill-60-filler/p83889 I use it a lot, easy to mix, apply & sand.
