Made this from an empty 47kg propane cylinder. The chimney was a fireman's BA cylinder, left a slight radius on the very top. Makes for a brilliant shaped flame. Cheers. Oh and the tube underneath is a air feed, I can set up the air blower and easily forge. It also comes apart and I've a grill...

Just dug out my first knife, I was ten when I was given this by the old man. Its in the same condition and completely untouched. Look at the grind, imagine a kid on his dad's bench grinder sharpening this, lol. First thing we did at a Scout meeting, after all the faf, was to sharpen our knives...

Thanks, I thought it might have been mentioned, I did a search and nothing. It has its limitations, but how many people other than us, the military and ramblers no how to read a map. I think it's brilliant for the emergency services. Cheers Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Has anyone ever used this app? I've got the app on the phone and have used it a few times, mostly for fun and thankfully never in an emergency. This post is as much to make others aware of this feature, it's a phone app that uses 3 words to describe a 3 meter grid reference. It's very easy and a...

Grandad had a good method for killing mice and rats. Equal amount of castor sugar, plaster of Paris and a really good pinch of salt, mix dry. Then leave somewhere sheltered in a dish with a dish of water next to it. When I was a kid I went into the shed one day to find a mouse as hard as a rock...
