• 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!

I follow this man Clickspring as he has produced a series of really excellent quality videos on a clock I'm making.

This is part of his Antikythera series in which he experiments in making hand made files of the type used to make the Ancient Greek device.

Not very fast Andy [emoji53]
2014 Scans, tests Surgery x2
2015 rebuilding shed to sort workshop out.
2016 Scans, tests, Chemo and Radiotheraphy
2017 Surgery, banned from doing much especially lifting. Gradually catching up with things, still to finish tidying up the workshop and then hopefully get back to making things again. [emoji4]

Fully understand Rod. I had imagined that clock making was a little more easier physically than some other tasks.
Hope you are making good progress health wise.
 
Yes thanks - just Scans and bloods every 4 months now and the odd clinic visit to keep an eye on things.
Very grateful for living where we are as Southampton is the only hospital in the uk who can carry out the surgery and procedure I had. Over £100k's worth on the NHS!
My workshop never recovered from storing a lot of my parents stuff when my mother died.
My father was a keen wood mangler so boxes and boxes of tools etc to sort. He also had a lot of my Grandfathers stuff too.

Interesting video. he's certainly one of the most watchable on YouTube.
