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!

Anyone with a copy of Walter Rose's best-known book should now turn to Chapter Seven for the full explanation...
To me, one of the pleasures of a display such as Andy's is that you can see and handle objects which you may only have met in books or pictures, things that used to be common but are now rare and nearly forgotten.

Well done Pete, otherwise known as "the bucket"
These would be affixed at the end of the "pump rod" using different methods.
A leather seal around it's periphery a lead weighted flap of leather would form the one-way valve.
If becoming detached the long pokey things would be used to fish em out.
Cheers, Andy
