• 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!

From the mists of time......

Hi Folks
I got nudged the other day by a member that I haven't been about on the forum. So here I am :D
I'm sure some of you remember me from the old days and other might know of me from my making planes as "Philly Planes". I'll do my best to drop by more often and try and help out if I can.
Cheers
Philly :)

I have only heard good things!
 
Hi Roger, Andy, Trim! Good to see you all here!
Since going from hobby woodworker to doing it full time I've found less time to visit the forums (and social media is a bleeding minefield!) But it's good to be busy and it's nice to see what everyone's up to :)
I occasionally hear from Waka and Martin King, as far as I know they are doing ok.
Cheers
Phil

Is that Philly Planes you’re doing full time? If so that’s great news.
Yup, into my 14th year of making planes for a living! Crazy :lol:

Awww...remember when you could leave the house to see a band play? :? How you doing, Doug!
 
Phil!! We-hay!! It's just like old times...... Welcome old chap.
 
Great to hear from you Philly. Last time we met we had a rather good veggie lasagne for lunch at Derek Jone's one and only (hopefully there'll be another) show at his college in East London. I still have both of your 'Philly Planes' red pencils :D - Rob

I’ve forgotten what the inside of a pub looks like let alone what seeing a band is like :shock:

It will be nice to get back to work 7 weeks of this Covid-19 virus malarkey hasn’t been fun though I seem to be top side of it now , I can highly recommend not catching it :?

Hope you & the family are all well, been missing your posts on Instagram.
 
Thank you for the warm welcome, Folks! Much appreciated :D

Doug, I have a load of stuff to start posting on Instagram - Social Media in general has been depressing me these last months, but I must be strong.... :lol:
 
Good to hear from you Phil .
Pleased you are prospering.
When someone mentioned your name the other day, I had a look at your website.
 
Hi Phil,

I miss catching up with you at the European Woodworking Show!
Glad to hear the plane making is still going OK.
 
Thanks Gents!
Dave, miss the Euro show. Mind you, I was at Yandles a little while ago and the boss there said he's not doing any more shows either. We'll see... :cry:

Bob - the table saw is still going strong (touch wood!) thanks! Actually, was thinking of you the other day, saw plans for a big belt grinder and it needed a variable speed motor...... :eusa-whistle:
