Thanks guys, i think the super glue is the best idea as the hole is an irregular shape and i could not shape a solid piece to plug the hole. Naut, I think your tea strainer spoon idea has promise but you should claim intellectual property on that one, I want to see 3 realistic concepts by the...

i have just nearly finished my first spoon, unfortunatly i have a tiny hole 0.5x2mm in the bowl of the sppon on a tiny knot, doh! what i want to know is; is there any way of filling this so it is still food safe? will post some pics any help will be much appreciated =]

Cheers Red Had good look at the step by step guide you put together, very helpful. i am going to find a suitable replacement haft and get myself some ash to be seasoned, cool. just a quick question though. Should i get the rust taken off by shot blasting or do you think that this may...

Hi guys, very useful info as always but i have a few more questions if i may. I have been given my great grandfathers old axe by my grandma after i found it rusting away in her garage. It looks like a good one, it's hand forged in glasgow and has a makers mark i can't make out. The handle was...

respect to that man i mean really, but seriously after waiting 18 hours even a pot noodle would taste good. i am going with sam this weekend, just been to tesco for food and ended up buying a 23cm diametre terracotta plant pot for 73p, just about the right size for a lamb joint me thinks ;)...

what hangi?

Hi Ogri Cheers for the advice, I would always treat fire and the possibility of CO poisoning with the utmost respect. The Kifaru folding stoves use a single thickness flue. My plan was too always have an audible carbon monoxide detector with me in the tent when the stove was on. I will test...

Wow, what a great solution, simple as most great ideas usually are. Just can’t believe I didn’t think of it myself. I have been thinking about how to make a fairly light weight wood burning stove for my tipi. I think I will adapt this design and stick a door on the open side and a top to take a...

Phil why don't you use a small section of hack saw blade for the fire steel just while you wait for your lovely new knife? Me thinks you just want an excuse to buy another sharp thing…..hmmm shiney. Can’t blame you mate. Will

Hi guys I to have just got round to making and using the hoodoo hone and wow, it's sharp eh. i think as Hammy says it's just what i wanted from my bushcraft knife now. might end up squaring off the back of the blade to strike sparks from a steel but would have to take off about .5mm from a...

Hi Phil You say you are not getting on with the Lapp Puukko because it doesn't throw good sparks from a steel. Why don't you try to square off the back of the blade with a fine file should work better. If it's the cutting edge that's a problem I just sorted my Eka W11 which was terrible for...

Hi all Daniel this probably won't be any good to you but axminster tools have cheap water stones and related stuff, see link below http://www.axminster.co.uk/category-Waterstones-207976.htm hope this helps someone Will :)

Wow, so many lessons learnt in one go! what a storey, if you didn't laugh you would cry! :lmao:

cheers guys i will try to convex he edge with the old Hoodoo when i manage to find a mouse mat! i have had a look at the knife now I'm home and i would have to take off a hell of a lot of metal to give it a flat bevel because it is so concave at the moment. loks like i could probably make a...

Brendan, just realised you have tried it in the wet, you already said, silly me. No need for pics either, I’ve found the other thread and seen the pics on there. I’m new to forums in general so just learning to find stuff. I have been into Leeds this lunch to have a look at one and they...
