• 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!

    How would you make this?

    No, mount a scrap disc first and hot melt glue the oak to it with one hollow on centre, turn it then take it off and hot melt it with the other on centre - no holes. Safer than cole jaws, and cheaper.

    They don't like my 20 (occasionally 32) pills a day, either.

    Food from your early years as an adult or child?

    Some 20+ years ago a friend and I were moaning about restaurant sweets containing strawberries in january when they came from Peru or somewhere and were hard and tasteless, and the conversation got to seasonal food. He was ten years older than me so had slightly different memories, but he said...

    Food from your early years as an adult or child?

    I read probably 40+ years ago that all authentic chili con carne recipes have dark chocolate in them.

    Food from your early years as an adult or child?

    I did really tasty stew one day. My daughter was about three and asked what it was - I looked past her at the fridge freezer and said it was samsung stew. A year or so later when she learned to read she realised - it was anything in there that needed using at the time. I did one recently - I...

    I didn't like it either. I detest oysters to start with, but had to try it.

    Probably OK as long as you ate the beef sitting down and not standing up. :LOL:

    Food from your early years as an adult or child?

    Glynn Christian, the NZ Author of Real Flavours (one of the very best food reference books - Nigel Slater says it's one of the only ten books you'll ever need) speaks of carpetbags - a whole fillet, slit down the side, stuffed with oysters (3doz, iirc) and baked. He says it's wonderful, but (in...

    Food from your early years as an adult or child?

    Marie Rose sauce? It's always been salad cream/mayonaise, tomato ketchup and worcestershire sauce. That's a recipe used commercially over a few decades. I've never heard of horseradish or garlic being put in it, but a sprinkling of of cayenne or (usually) paprika on top. Lobby? Loblolly?

    I have two of them, the 18mm one and the 12mm? one - the small one is dangerous, the blade doesn't clamp properly and pulls out when you least expect it. I found these good -...

    Which micrometers?

    It was to measure the bore of the largest cylinder they once made.

    Which micrometers?

    Off tack. I remember being told by an ex Holman's (mining machinery) employee that he had gone into a workshop to clear it out when the place closed about 25 years ago and found a ........... I'll print it in case of doubt ............ one hundred and eight inch micrometer.

    https://cpc.farnell.com/duratool/d00285/knife-blades-100pc/dp/TL10494?st=duratool%20knife%20blades I got these, they are way sharper than Stanley FatMax at two or three times the price. They are throw away so I don't use them until they are useless.
