• 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!

    Complete finishing balls up

    I don't think the issue is whether it goes rancid so much as whether anything else will set over it.

    Back bevel

    A back bevel to most of us I suspect is little more than wiping the blade at an angle on an 8000 water stone, diamond plate or strop.

    VAT

    Aye. Better to regret something you have done that something you haven't.

    Winter is over

    We were lucky. Around here the main roads are always gritted, but the first few hundred yards are usually the problem. My wife goes to work at 7.15am so we decided to get a spare set of wheels from the scrap yard and put winter tyres on them. I mentioned this to my neighbour and she said...

    Get yourself down to Aldi pronto - very cheap Claret and "cheap" Normandy butter.

    But do all your doughnuts turn out like Fanny's?

    Get yourself down to Aldi pronto - very cheap Claret and "cheap" Normandy butter.

    I worked with a brilliant trained and qualified French sommelier about 25 years ago. We used to have a short wine tasting for staff on a Thursday after work, and I took in a half bottle of a NZ dessert wine. His knowledge of French wine was off the scale, but at the French border the knowledge...

    Thanks, I edited it. You're going to add more salt than the salted butter contains, though.

    French food, produce and markets

    France is indeed McD's largest market. I remember being in Portugal in the mid '70s with my mother. We happened to see a restaurant ........... a decent cafe, really, and walking past she said this'll do - it looks clean. Many places then weren't. Off the tourist routes, there were no...

    Get yourself down to Aldi pronto - very cheap Claret and "cheap" Normandy butter.

    I've never quite understood why recipes state use unsalted butter then tell you to add salt. I read of some sort of spat about the French refusing to something British and stopped buying French wine. 42 years and counting ...

    brushes and rollers

    There are undoubtedly better, but I can't fault these for the money. The cheaper range is fine as well. https://www.toolstation.com/hamilton-for-the-trade-synthetic-paintbrush-set/p53040

    Fat battery

    I replacd a Duracell in my mouse earlier, it had been there only two or three months. I didn't find the industrial ones any different to the normal ones.

    Omelette theory

    If you want a higher ratio of yolk to white get some bantams.

    Rebate plane price

    Stanley swapped to plastic a few years before Record. I'd think £2.60 quite cheap for 1980.

    Omelette theory

    The Roux brothers couldn't agree on whether omelettes should be browned or not - in top class cuisine they shouldn't colour at all, but I prefer them browned. But then, I like fried eggs frilly edged so maybe I'm just a Philistine...

    Your favourite listenings......

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_In_There_(song) I came across this the other day. Very touching, the late great John Prine was only 22 when he wrote it. (Strangely, Sugar Mountain by Neil Young has just come on - he was only 19 when he wrote that.)

    How would you make this?

    I've made them larger than that on a lathe with no problem.

    How would you make this?

    Feel free, but it's needless expense and hassle. edit - you'd need to strap it as the wood is much deeper than the buttons and straight sided.

    How would you make this?

    A core box cutter in a router would be OK - it would leave a flat in the bottom but does it matter?
