• 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!

Neat chiseling machine

What a lovely way of automating the same cutting action that a hand tool would have. Very enjoyable video, thanks Pete.
 
Great Video Pete, I enjoyed that.

In a similar vein, Monitor Millwork in Oregon (Donovan is a hero of mine, an excellent craftsman who works with historic machinery to replicate historic woodwork) has a reciprocating chisel morticer from what I would guess is the late 1800s which can be seen from 0:30 onwards. What can also be seen is a machine for cutting sliding sash pulley stile pulley holes and pockets from 1:22 onwards, the only one that I've ever seen working.

Found the article on his website that covers the morticer, it's also worth looking at some of the other articles.

Fantastic.

A couple of things surprised me. Firstly, they seemed to check things by measuring quite often, rather than use a jig or gauge. Secondly, the person who did the subtitles kept writing "planer" instead of plane. You'd think someone who was keen enough to film this process would know.......

It’s probably an American, some of them seem to be unable to distinguish the difference between the two words.
I suppose I’m just going to have to keep shtum when talking to Woodworkers over there, last thing I need is to be thought of as a know it all Limey.

Could just be a language thing. It is common over here in Finland for woodworkers to call a hand plane a planer but I don't quibble with folk who speak better in my language than I do in theirs.
