• 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!

This is the current inside of the tool box lid. It contains a 10" dovetail saw, a 10" crosscut joinery saw, a small, very fine toothed 6" dozuki , and a 5" fretsaw...



A saw which I frequently turn to for dados and sliding dovetails, especially stopped versions, is a Japanese azebiki. It finally dawned on me how I could fit it in, since there is no extra available space inside the main compartment .... fit it inside the lid (aren't rare earth magnets wonderful! :) Look - the rule for a 12"/300mm Starrett combination square) ...



This is only possible since the blade has been removed from the handle ...



It shares the handle of the dozuki ...



I would love to hear what saws others view as indispensable for building the joinery of furniture (assuming that machines are available for the grunt work).

Steve, thanks for the compliment, but I disagree.

So far, 13.8 Kg ... and this includes everything to date plus a block plane, all the sharpening stones, spokeshave. There are three planes to make: trying plane, smoother, and coopering plane. I am hoping to come in under16 Kg. (that is including the tool box).

Regards from Perth
