• 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!

No I’m not at least interested in your way, I know mine is the best :D

Today I have been doing the first serious bit of planing for maybe two years.
I put together my collection of planes maybe ten years ago and had a bit of a fad buying at car boots and fettling planes then selling some so I could buy more. I can’t remember paying more than a fiver for any of them.
I have ended up with a boxful of bits, if anyone needs something.
What I did do is to keep sharpened spares with chipbreaker ready to go. Certainly paid off this morning on some oak laminated kitchen top I am making into a mega carving board for my nephew.

Sharpening session tomorrow, when I will……... no you don’t want to know :D
 
You're all wrong.

I've not read a single word any of you have written, but I believe this is the correct default setting for this topic.

Oh, Alf, that is the best laugh I have had in ages. Beautifully framed! :eusa-clap:
