• 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!

Hello from sunny Galloway

Hi all. Just been accepted and thought I'd say hello. I retired 3 years ago after selling my tool shop in Bridgwater, Somerset. Moved up to this beautiful part of Scotland 2 years ago and have been busy knocking our tired old house into shape since.

Although I've no formal training I've always liked to make things from wood and just before we moved discovered that I particularly like making jewellery boxes. This new game had to come to a halt when we moved because the house was 'tired' and needed work and there is no workshop here.

As soon as the weather warms up a bit I'll be laying a concrete pad base for my new workshop and If you want I'll bore you all with the gory details of the build.

Thanks for having me.

Hi Paul, and welcome aboard.

I spent between the ages of around 3-7 living in Lochmaben which is probably not too far from you. Love that part of the world but no family there any more so not visited in many a long year. Must take my kids up for the day to have a look around.

Cheers

Welcome Paul.

I look forward to the new workshop thread. They're always interesting.

Loved Galloway when we cycled through it on our Land's End-John O'Groats ride a few years ago. Beautiful part of the world.

Hi Mark. We're about 40 odd miles west of Lochmaben in the Stewartry. It is a lovely part of the country which, for some reason, most people drive straight past on their way up to the Highlands. And that's why we like it ;)
 
Welcome and of course we want to see the workshop build, With as many pictures as possible. After your 3rd post you can include images and we'd love to see some of your past work if possible.

Guides to photo posting if you need it are in the tips and tutorials section.
Photobucket tended to be the host of choice by many members but there has been a shift towards Imgur as a good photo host recently as they have less/no adverts.
