Thanks, iv had a look, great website, lovely stoves, i like the blacksmiths trademark imprinted on the top of the stove, good finishing touch. I just want to try and avoid spending so much on a flue kit, there as much as the stove. ta

Iv got a 4m soulpad genie bell tent with a flue hole ready for a stove to go straight in, and i was wondering if anybody knows a cheap place to get the stove and flue from, i dont really want a frontier stove as the legs seem a bit large on them creating less space in the tent, but iv never...

Haha very understandable.. amazing smock though.. maybe he should teach somebody his skills.. possibly your wee niece =) and topknot i havent seen the boreal smock have you got a link i cant find it?

Ahh, i see oki doki thanks for informing me on that, i did see it said they were not making them at the moment

Has anybody got one of these, if so what are they like? iv been looking at getting one, looks like a good bit of kit but currently there out of stock.

Ok that is more info than i could ask for, thank you very much :) i will do just that with them, i will get some various bow staves too so im not disheartened if one fails, as i did dread that happening. i particularly want to make one out of a yew for myself too so i may let that dry out...

im looking at making a simple bow for somebody for Christmas, a way wondering if its possible for the bow to be made more or less when its been cut straight from the tree, or does it have to be left to dry?

Lovely bench

Beautiful spoon, I wish mine would look like this

Thanks for all the super helpful info guys, im going to put it to good use today =)

Cheers for all the info.. I thought of getting maggots from the fishing shop would have been a great idea but as barethrills stated there at the end of their cycle so thats that idea out the window! i think i will use a combination of boiling it and stripping some meat, i live right next to the...

it looks like hes wondering round the kitchen wearing the same apron he gutted it in!

I have just been to scotland and while i was out walking i came across a red deer stag with antlers that was decomposing, i thought the head would look good on my wall so i got the head off it by using a sharp stone and carried it all the way back to my car, me and my girlfriend had a great 5...
