• 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!

Hi all, just a quick hello.

We retired to S/W Scotland 4 years ago and I finally have my garage / workshop setup, I want to get back in to woodturning, I have a short bed union graduate variturn lathe and also a Hegner single speed scroll saw which I would like to put to some use, looking for some inspiration ;)

We have the village craft / flower show fast approaching and I think I will turn a few pens for the show, this will be my first ever entry in such things so not sure what to expect.

Thanks for having me :D
 
Hi Yorkie and welcome to the forum. There are a few of us here who enjoy spinning things so I hope you will feel at home.
We have a spam trap that will prevent you from posting images until you have made 3 posts but after that feel free to share with us what you can do. We like workshop pics too.
 
Hi Yorkie and welcome. Nice to see someone else on here in this beautiful part of the world. We did the same and retired 2 1/2 years ago, we live near Gatehouse. Still haven't got a workshop yet but I've just started putting down the foundations.

Looking forward to seeing your work on here :-)

Thanks for the warm welcome :D

We have just got a scavengers license from the forestry today so it looks like I will be busy for the next few weeks collecting and processing wood ready for next winter rather than turning :eusa-violin:
I will try and get some pics up ASAP though ;)
