These are my girlfriends La Sportiva winter mountaineering boots. Size 7. They are approximately around 8 yrs old, and she has worn them a couple of times but the soles show no sign of wear, so are as new. I don't remember the model but think they are a Trango GTX. They are compatible with a...

I am going camping on the Gower peninsula in a couple of weeks time, and was wondering if anyone can recommend any good sea fishing spots. Thanks Eifion

I have for sale on behalf of a friend lightweight pegs made by Lightwave. All are new & unused. Prices include Paypal & postage to mainland UK. SORRY ! But I am not interested in any trades ! Lightning pegs pack of 6 SOLD ! Here are a couple links to manufacturers & stockist...

I will be taking delivery of an iPhone in the next couple of days, and would really like to have O S mapping on it to use as a GPS. There seems to be a few of them out there. I have looked at Map finder from O.S. themselves and Memory Map but not sure what to go for ? Who uses them or anything...

I was given this by my Father who picked it up last week in an antique shop. It has been soaked in vinegar for 24 hrs, and I have cleaned it up a bit. As seen from the pictures it has a makers mark but I don't know it ? Any ideas ? I doubt if the axe is that old, but it is a nice shaped axe...

Finally got one last Thursday. Andy (Everything Mac) said if I didn't post pictures it never happened ! So here they are Andy. Made by Isaac Nash & Sons of Stourbridge. From what I can find out it was made between 1888 and 1912. It weighs 243 lbs or 110Kg. Not in pristine condition as you...

I have never tried it before, but was going to send pictures via PM this morning, but there is no option to add from computer (as with normal posts) only from URL.

As you may of seen on this thread http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=109184 I intend to try my hand at forging. Still not got an anvil but still looking, and going somewhere tomorrow to look at one. Anyway I got up early this morning and went to a car boot to see what tools I...

I was rummaging in the shed today looking for cold chisels, when I came across a small wooden tool box that I had forgotten about. It used to belong to my girlfriends father. I found a Stanley plane, 2 small wooden spirit levels, try square, 3 cold chisels, a gin trap,3 bits for a bit & brace...

Here is a Parkes kent pattern axe that has been refurbed & modified. Axe has a 2" shorter handle than a GB wildlife hatchet and a slightly heavier head (1.5lb). It is beautifully balanced for splitting & chopping and is very sharp. Comes complete with mask (not the prettiest but works). More...

A walking staff I made recently, hazel with antler top. The antler was an offcut of antler I bought for my knives but it was screaming out 'I want to be a walking staff'. The eyes are taxidermy eyes for a Sparrow hawk. Still not quite finished I need to blend the wood to the antler a bit more...

I am 95% certain to get my hands on an anvil this weekend so I can try my hand at forging. Initially I was thinking of making a concrete plinth then putting a tree stump on it to support the anvil, then I thought if I am mixing concrete I could make some shuttering and make a taller plinth that...

Why do my posts not have bold text in the title as most do, but not everyone ?

Recently finished this Whittler, 3mm thick 01, 6.25" overall with 2.5" blade, cow bone scales with black liners and mosaic pins. The bone I got off my butcher, it is the hind leg of a cow, he is going to keep me a front leg bone next time as he says the wall thickness is bigger. I wanted a...

Some of the Amazing Chainsaw carvings at this years show. Nic Westermann (nic on here) forging axes. They truly are beautiful axes.

I have tried to change the font size in my signature, but regardless of which size I choose it remains the same (small). I have tried saving with no signature, then re doing it and it is the same, I have also tried logging out & even re starting the computer but it stays the same. I don't think...

I am sure it ends this month sometime, but cannot find it in profile/settings area although I have seen it there before. I have not received any notification either ? Should I ? Thanks
