• 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!

Over on MikeG's round oak table thread AndyT published out a reference John Oakey & Sons makers of sandpaper.

Well I thought I recognised the name. I have a couple of used sheets of his glass paper which from what I can gather is no longer made. These would have come from grandfather's workshop so I would guess would be of a 1950-70's vintage.

That's the stuff. But have you tried using it? I think that if you do, you'll soon find out why it's not around any more. Sometimes, just sometimes, the modern alternative really is superior!
