I’ll try again then. Chap in the front row with two stripes, or chap in the front row to the right of the chap with glasses.

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!

Well considering I don’t know what you look like now Roger it’s purely a random guess, how about the one 4th from left who looks like he’s about to get his teeth into something?

I recollect I bought a complete butt of English Walnut during the late 70's for the princely sum of £70...that's eight 50mm thick boards, 2m long or so. The only way I could get it to college was one board at a time in the 'Blimp'; one end resting on the dash (almost touching the front windscreen) and the other poking out the rear as the back window could be swung completely open! - Rob
LOL….perhaps I was a bit too oblique re the glasses reference because apart from George Love [I think that is him…..woodwork teacher who went on to make a bit of a name for himself making guitars…] the only other person wearing specs is me.

I had never heard of George Love guitars. That one went for £1400 which is not much really for a hand made classical guitar.
Can't find any images of my early modes of transport, took my test on a 600cc BSA Sloper.
Bought as a means of transport complete with sidecar during petrol rationing when you were allowed to take passenger on L- plates.
Removed sidecar after rationing finished and no longer able to ferry college mates around on L-plates.
That was followed by a Norton Dominator and then the mistake of a Norton 250 Jubilee twin which seemed a bit more sensible for use as a couple, did the job but not the soundest of engineering in its early form and a power curve too near my mates Francis Barnet 2stroke to be enjoyable.
Transitioned to 1930's Morris and Riley examples alongside the Norton as family arrived and all modes of personal transport disappeared for a couple of years in 1963 when we bought our first house, could not afford both.
