I am sourcing doors for our on going refurbishment. Has any one purchased this door or any other goods from these people online. I would really value all opinions

    does it need to be a fire door?

    that might not be solid oak, it might be chipboard with oak veneer (cheekily described as 'solid oak') - CHECK

    When it says solid core it probably is either mdf or at best pine, to differentiate it from eggbox construction, it won't be solid oak as said.

    I have used them for some oak "sleepers", cheapest way I could get the sections I wanted for an exterior project. They were fine but it doesn't mean the doors would be, ;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    Thank you for all of that. I am in a real quandary now. Getting real oak solid door could be a deal breaker except some one out there could tell me where I could get some at a decent price.

    Any ideas or suggestions any one........

    Is Oak important how about having a chat with these guys. They have some lovely old ships doors that might give even more character

    Handy things you know!

    Mind you the Mk 20 homing torpedo (1946) was prone to failure and was replaced by the wire guided Mk 23.

    Interestingly the Belgrano was sunk by 3 x Mk VIII introduced in 1927!!!

    Not a lot of people know that :)

    Ah, the Mk23, I love those.

    Interesting operations manual for the Mk 23 torpedo http://www.hnsa.org/doc/torpedo/index.htm
