• 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!

    Workshop Companion reaches a million subs!

    Thanks Andy 👍. I'm now so used to watching on the tablet because the laptops are upstairs in another room and difficult to get to. Once a week I check for updates... other than that it's the tablet.

    Workshop Companion reaches a million subs!

    I dislike the "shorts" and avoid them... if there was a setting to turn these off I'd use it

    Workshop Companion reaches a million subs!

    After I joined here and put up my intro post I realised I'd slipped up in NOT attempting to do a lot of videos of my 'shop (as then), making the units for the tablesaw and then working out how to do the fliptop units for the other machines... far too late, too concentrated on the making of units...

    So it is Spring now, for me it's still Winter

    Problem with growing from seed is they can not be relied upon to *run true* because of cross pollination via the different insects. The only way is via cuttings. Many these days are grafted on to other stock. Most Japanese maple trees are grafted when bought at garden centres or the supermarkets.

    What I have fixed today

    Just a suggestion Steve (@Steve Maskery ) if you don't mind me saying - you'll probably know this and do it anyway but you've not mentioned your next steps other than the porch... When you remove it from the bath stand it upright to let the water drain out - rather than lay it flat... Also, if...

    Nothing spectacular but...

    Over the years I built up quite a supply of different chipboard materials from various old wardrobe units @shafiq - telling myself "it'll be handy one day". Some of the doors and side panels got ripped down the middle to make up shelving for my son - instead of for me... I'll live with it 😎. I...

    It's been a little while since I got further with this mobile AC400 unit... Now has a couple of side/back shelves and tool storage... room for other bits but yet to decide. Please ignore the F clamp... 🤪 - not in place now. Yesterday I turned my attention to the dust extraction system I've...

    Same here - but sawdust from something other than for the workshop itself 🤪. Turning a bowl or three... make a box or something... not a wall unit or mobile unit of some sort... 😎

    Bandsaw 'fettling'...

    Easily done to over do things *before* we should... guilty of such myself in the past. Even 'present' if I'm honest... not wanting 'age' to slow me down - but now admitting to myself it is. Still trying to sort out the little workshop and getting 'distracted' from one job to another as I do...

    Thanks for reading through and responding @Eric the Viking - and I sincerely give you my very best wishes on everything being sorted for you in the hospital stay... sorry to hear the spell in Jan didn't sort things. I'm unsure which photo of the blade you're referring to re placement? If the...

    What a whirlwind that some young people get given @shafiq 😕... I think I became aware of *some* issues when my son had trouble with numbers... trying to teach him to count with smarties and such. It made no mark on him at all for any numbers or anything to do with them. When I pointed it out to...

    No worries @shafiq 🙂... fully understand. My son has dyslexia as well as dyspraxia... not diagnosed until he was at Falmouth University as a mature student on a Marine & Natural History Photography course at the age of 30 - he's now 41. Now (eventually after a great deal of time and effort...
