• 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!

Pocket holes for hidden parts of joinery, "glue and countersunk screw" for front facing, covered with walnut dowels to give the impression of dowel joinery.. I...

    American here in Oundle (Peterborough) - Brand new to woodworking

    Understood. The deal is.. I have VAT-free purchase ability through the RAF base, so in the end. I can get the very best price doing a full package deal to get a further "manager discount", then knock VAT off the full deal, so I am effectively getting the mitre saw for "free", as compared to what...

    American here in Oundle (Peterborough) - Brand new to woodworking

    Hello all. Getting Into woodworking now at 50 years old, as I have always needed a hobby, and have a creative mind (at least I think so). Played pocket billiards for most of the time since I was 18, and got pretty good at it, even put heat on a top tier pro or two at big events, although I...

    Is there such a thing as 'cheap' paring chisels!

    Brand new member here.. Keep in mind.. I haven't touched a serious piece of woodwork since shop class in high school (USA) in 36 years, so take my input with a grain of salt, as I am just now building out my hand toolset, although I actually am planning to go mostly the power tool route. That...
