• 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!

Turff stuff (shop mod's')

Looks good and solid.

You must have built boats at some stage as that is typical cupboard construction on a boat (sailing)
 
Not see that one before, thanks for sharing. For many jobs I can see that only having one half on a smaller set of trestles would be useful.
 
Thanks chaps.

Rod - How about a half size one?
Phil - Correct! I use to work for a boat builder Circa 2000 and have spent a lot of time on boats - love' em.

Andy, (and others interested) here's Ron and his workbench MKII design.

use Adobe Illustrator, building 1:10 on an A3 page, it's a combination of design school technical layout and some DTP, graphics work I was in...sometimes I use Sketch Up and present in Ai (tho I get out of practice with SU and I'm very much a beginner).

Good to see someone else using Illustrator for technical drawings. I'm a designer by day and use it for all my projects at home :D

I really like the bench, now I have a work space need a table of some sort like this for the projects I have planned.

Thanks Matt...I spent a bit of time myself working in DTP for a marketing department, so it felt very natural to use Illustrator...it's actually quite accurate ...love to see some examples of any drawings you work in Ai.

I'm really, really pleased with the bench...I've had many variants over the years and the Paulk design is by far the best. There is absolutely no sag in the middle, which is fantastic....8x4 is ideal but I guess it could be any size... I was actually considering something slightly smaller ...say 6x4

Cheers Jim.
 
A few mods to the shop. Nothing particularly exciting but helps keep a lid on the chaos, 'ish ;)

Caddy for the cyclone and a bed to park the track/ jig saw, sander etc...



Some drawers for the posh tools...



...And finally sorted out some racking for the panel products. Sorting through, they were all piled/ stacked in the corner...



And stowed away...



...got all fancy with some planking effects using the palm router and a Vee groove bit, might paint the end at some point

You're right Rod...I use to be quite messy, I'm not sure what happened...I think it's cause I've been quiet... I need to get back in there and start making, usually by then end of a project it gets messy.

I'll work on my messy [emoji4]

Oh I forgot to mention I've also seeded the lawn...

Here it is 4 weeks ago...and then today, it's a bit patchy if you look at it from above. Which is not too bad for me as I have a reverse Midas touch when it comes to gardening...Black fingers of doom, as opposed to green fingers of daddy nature [emoji23]

To prove this... I've bosched through the last flower bed to make a path! My current thoughts are a winding boardwalk ascending up to the workshop.

Don't do a board walk! You'll only regret it. They get horribly slippery, and maintenance is a pig. Stone (or brick) would look great through there.

I've got vibram slippers...[emoji6]

Mike, You know what I'm like when it comes to bricks and that sloppy grey stuff... I think it's a phobia... I'll have to do a ramp too!

Well do it dry then. Bed of sand, and either sand pointing, or sand/cement pointing, dry, and just wet it down as you point it. No sloppy grey stuff involved! ;)
