• 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!

    Great WIP posting @Windows -'wish the Internet and such forums had been available back in the early 1980s... We moved up to a derelict farmhouse on the West Yorkshire moors on my 30th birthday of all things... I'll not go through the ups and downs of such a move from Bath to such a place. All...

    Planer thicknesser?

    For me it was/is the only machine that I could accommodate in my small workshop area - and plane up to 12½" wide boards. I do have the Triton 7"/180mm *plane* which I can use for planing face/edge but need to make a jig/holder to house it in an inverted position. To date I've been able to plane...

    Planer thicknesser?

    If just looking for a "lunchbox" thicknesser (from what I see looking the Metabo DH330 up on Google) I only have experience with the Triton TPT125 thicknesser - same thing... a lunchbox thicknesser. I've been using mine recently to clean up the yew timber I have - up to 3" sawn thickness by...

    Welcome Andy... interesting piece to introduce yourself with 😍... very nice. Quite a few years ago I turned a couple of pierced spiral Arabian style falconry blocks in Yew - base stand similar to yours but a solid block on top - using the Trend Router Lathe. It's been some time since I did any...

    Ian’s new workshop. The Wonky Donkey. Starting to fit the lintels.

    Just did a check for prices here Ian... gone up quite a bit since I got mine. May still be worth considering though as once up there's no maintenance, just a wipe over or put the hoover (or point a blower) on/at it to remove dust. Doesn't get damaged like plasterboard would if you bang a piece...

    Ian’s new workshop. The Wonky Donkey. Starting to fit the lintels.

    It's coming on well Ian. I don't fancy doing the drywall and 'mudding' thing so wish you well in doing it. I used 1.5mm~2mm (forget which) white plastic wall sheeting. They came as 8'x4'... stuck to the OSB lining fixed to the concrete block walls. Bit of a wobble when cutting to height as...

    Yew... your thoughts before possibility of offering for sale?

    Gives me something to work on - 'though I'm more used to imperial measure than metric 😉. Top and bottom may be a struggle at 12" width... willing to join the bottom? *and top* if no 12"/30cm available? (Added after posting). What thickness?

    Well, that day didn't go to plan.

    We used to have this place, just ½ mile down the road... now closed and no idea what will happen with the place. Sad really loosing something like this. https://bl.ag/found-in-frome-moore-and-sons-farm-and-feed-ephemera/

    Yew... your thoughts before possibility of offering for sale?

    I've quite a range of sizes Rob... may help me if you give me an idea of what sizes you would want so I've an idea what to look for... possibly a DM? I've square edged boards as well as waney edged... variety of widths.

    Yew... your thoughts before possibility of offering for sale?

    (@Woodbloke ) Rob... I'm sure I've something that would be more suitable in my stocks of yew... possibly already close to a more acceptable thickness and widths for (jewellery) box making so less wasteful for you. But... I'm not wanting to turn this into a selling post and go against forum...

    Yew... your thoughts before possibility of offering for sale?

    Thanks Ian (@Cabinetman )... it's a beautiful timber and I made some beautiful (if I say it myself) Arabian style falconry blocks from it. I was asked to make a set of 12 for the then Scottish Academy of Falconry. I also made a case for them to fit into. Somewhere there's a couple of photos of...

    Yew... your thoughts before possibility of offering for sale?

    Thanks @AndyP One is 58" long and the other is 32½". Both 5⅝" x 2¾" PAR. I'd not thought about price (per cft) yet... Thinking if selling as the lengths - the splits/cracks having to be considered, collected from Frome as you say or possible meet part way? If I crosscut to blanks (5⅝" sq)...

    Yew... your thoughts before possibility of offering for sale?

    I'm somewhat reticent in asking but hopefully it's acceptable to do so before opening a post in the Forum sale forum? If not then I'd appreciate some guidance on the correct approach from a member of the Forum admins please. I'm sorting through the stock of English yew I've had for more than 35...

    Well, that day didn't go to plan.

    I had to take Ibuprofen with paracetamol for a number of years because of the ongoing pain in 1st/ my left wrist before undergoing a TFCC operation to it and then, before and after, operations to each hand/thumbs; trapeziectomies. I didn't become addicted. I was also using Ibuprofen gels along...
