• 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!

    User Manual for 2009 Hammer A3 31/41

    Hi all. Wondering if anybody might have an electronic copy of the user manual for the 2009 and previous Hammer A3 31/41 planer thicknessers that they could email to me? The catch is that it needs to apply to the red/grey model with the centre mounted fence where the tables are lifted separately...

    Chisel Sharpening - Subtleties in Flattening Backs

    Hi all. This is just to share some fairly esoteric thoughts/a recent discovery in respect of flattening chisel backs. I've been doing a lot of fine paring of the sides of large mortices in beech recently to fine tune fits as a part of a bench build (stretcher joints) and found that my Japanese...

    Choice of Router for High Accuracy Deep Plunge Cutting?
