Awesome ad...!!! :D

Hi folks.... :) Although I set up the Dorset Bushcrafters community group, I have failed to be a little more active on the site due to my work commitments. (he bows his head in shame!!!). If you join the group, I did try to get some pub meets going initially but came under the usual 'id like it...

I'm really enjoying the thread actually as I've just started to collect pipes... Mainly estate pipes as they look and feel a little more 'worn-in'. I don't smoke myself (yet!) but might want to try an aromatic at some point! judging from what I've picked up here, Peterson's seems to be a...

Hope this works... Here are a few of the axe heads re hafted into their new handles. Started with the Kubben then honed with draw knife and carving chisels... :) Enjoy... Martin :D

As said by Everything Mac.... :) Haven't. Done much carving with it lately. The last use my axe had was last weekend as I hafted some new flint, copper and bronze axes as they required new handles (as part of an on going project). I understand one has been destroyed already! I'll try and upload...

Hi Stanleythecat, The link in the message I received seemed to have an error(?), but it's more than likely that I actually pressed the wrong buttons trying to reply to you. Anyway.... Down to answering your question in a few short words... "The Gransfors Kubben Axe is awesome!" The weight...

Nice work and very neatly done too! (and that's coming from an ex D&T teacher!) We need more of that in the real world! ;)

Join the Dorset or Hampshire communities/groups.... Well get a meet up going soon.... :0)

I've always use the bivi as an outer cover to my normal sleeping bag whilst in a hammock. Have done this since experiencing a very cold wet morning after the dry night before!!! Never underestimate wind and rain if you want to stay warm. I used an inflatable roll-mat between that and the...

Absolutely stunning work there milius2.... :D

Most excellent! I must make a Wood Spirit for in the car... Love the mix of the mushroom combined with spirit, rather reminds me of a character from the children's book 'The Faraway Tree'. ;)

I'd be interested in a couple in XXL if any still about? ;) Martin

They're really nice! Well done.... :D

Morning Infrared.... :) . Glad you got the knife back... That was lucky. +2 for both Ogri the trog and blimo p5's comments. :D

Welcome to the forum elveys.... :D

Good luck Shewie.... I hope it all goes very well for you. I'd love to do similar but family responsibility and a huge mortgage are to heavy about my neck. I will get there soon I hope though.... :)

I can directly relate to that post Lister. I was behind a retired lady reaching her later years, she presented all her items to the till operator but held back a packet of biscuits and a few other non essentials. Her reasoning being she had little of her weekly monies left and what she had...

Thanks for posting the link.... Will go and browse. :) Martin

Sorry to read this post Dave... Having seen you and your knives at the Ancient Technology Centre :viking: I know how special they are. I will keep my eyes peeled for this knife and hope the stupid scroat that took it takes everyone's advice (and yours) returning it to you. If they don't...

As seen in the tutorial, quenching in old motor oil will help deterioration. However, you will still find they will tarnish/rust. Keep the blade rubbed down with a light coat of oil (or wrap in an oily rag). Martin :)
