• 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!

The H & S guy said it must be safe, she's lived this long and hasn't lost any digits yet.

Still a way of life for many in the world, saw a couple of old school workshops on the German, Seiffen /Chez. border area that were not much better.

Can't imagine a working life of such monotony but appreciate the developed skills and the drive to fend for oneself.

I noted the wood used was much like the Lime favoured by the German/Chez. turners doing similar repetitive tasks, but in this case much more attractively figured.

Basic wood handling doesn't change:-
Harvest, Primary Dry, Rough machine, Temper Dry, Work to size and finish.
 
Nice watch.

She wears a mask at one stage but never any eye protection, jeez :shock:
I'm not sure what that tea is at the end though.
 
I was most impressed with the working from the end on that steady, reminded me of a Mahl stick. And what a superb fit to the lids.
Cutting off on the wicked looking saw went against everything to my eye, particularly towards the end of the cut when she is pushing on both pieces which "should " have had the wood trapping the blade, never mind that it looked horrendously dangerously unguarded.

The intense green made me think it was matcha.
