    Hunting for the butcher?

    The sad thing is Guns - (be it a 45 - 9mm - Rifle - Shotgun - Airgun/rifle) will always have a bad press. People just see them a weapons designed to kill people. My Air-rifle has been in the cupboard since 1996 after the Dunblane tragedy (about 15 miles from me). After that it was very hard...

    RIP Tony Hart

    Used to love watching Take Hart & Vision On. Sad to see he has passed away, he was a talented artist. One of the most memorable things that he created was the Blue Peter emblem. R.I.P Tony Hart TC

    Another gas bottle wood burner

    INJURY? Afraid youv'e lost me? It seems that Drongo already has tried to removed it before I posted and he also already knew that its (back to front thread). So I cant see how any misdirection by me could have caused Drongo any injury? CLOCK - ANTICLOK? So by Broch's report I was...

    Enybody know what knife this is?

    I used to use something similar to this (with the curved blade only smaller) when I worked in Patons & Baldwhins woolen mill. It was used for cutting the last strands on wool off bobbins. I then got a job as an apprentice butcher and low and behold what did I get handed for pairing bones :D...
