• 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!

    Let’s see your best effort…l’m guessing it’s a guitar?

    No. I’m a great music lover and have a good singing voice but never strayed into playing an instrument.

    Found your channel yesterday. You shouldn’t keep your lamp under a bushel. 😉

    I only discovered yesterday that he has a channel. He’s obviously a very modest person.

    I’ll persevere with Matt Estlea…I did find him irritating at first but that’s probably me being a grumpy old fart…😀…I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and be fair. 👍

    Thanks. That looks like a very well made piece. I was looking at some second hand, old fashioned holds fasts on ebay yesterday and most of them did seem to have a brutal finish to the clamping end that would have marked the wood. Still making my mind up.

    I bought a couple of the Lidl clamps but that’s not what I was after. I think I’ve found what I was looking for on ebay. They are called ‘hold fasts’. Graham Blackburn gives a good explanation of their use on his YT channel. My brother gave me loads of chisels, Japanese and other saws, a...

    Thanks for the Church Stretton information. Sounds perfect. I love to drive out that way, through Shropshire. It’s so scenic. Beautiful cat!

    Thanks, Stokie. I intend to be more of a hand tool woodworker. I like what I’ve seen so far of Graham Blackburn on YouTube. He and Paul Sellers are my best finds so far, though I’m sure there are others I’ll come accross soon.

    Thanks for the web site suggestions. I shall have a look on those. It’s always nice to see things in shops before you buy but I suppose the days of woodworking tool shops have gone the way of many other high street retailers. Beautiful cat. Hope she visits again soon.

    I’ve been given a lot of new equipment by my brother who no longer wants it. A lucky start. Still reading and watching videos to educate myself but it’s time I got stuck in. Would like to start with some trellis work for my garden and then some decorative elements for a garden building I’m...
