• 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!

A marvellous power-free workshop

Lovely, thanks for sharing Mike. That metal lathe is gorgeous.

Indeed - it's the same as mine! :)
 
Lovely video. He's got pretty much everything in there for artisanal wood, metal and leather work. Very nice. I like the little forge with the treadle blower. I know he had the candle at his tea break spot but presumably he uses electric light, especially as he's underground. A tad ironic that it's shown on youtube, fully embracing modern times.

I dunno. I've done it myself. It pulls the birds. :D

Malcolm there’s no end to your talents but you may need better glasses lol.

Lovely video, I think he's missing a hand powered morticer though.
Were user powered table saws and planers ever a thing? Can’t quite imagine it working.

Apparently they exist, but not what you'd call convenient.

Not too shabby an 18th century costume Malc but your props are a bit naff :lol: What you actually need for a really dramatic effect is one of these:

A photo unearthed by No.1 daughter taken on the 14th July, 1989. Mmme 'la guillotine' was an absolutely lethal bit of kit, with a über sharp, weighted blade and was totally lethal. It really did work 'cos it was demonstrated to the then Head Teacher. Happy days! - Rob
