Hey, it seems I also missed the notification for this! Yes I'd still happily take it without the spares.

Sweet, I'll take it please! I'd potentially be interested in any spare bits and bobs you have, depending on cost. Not really after the metal part of the frame but spare straps and canvas for mods would be handy. No stress if it's gonna be a pain to find though!

Ooh I'll take the m39 if it's still available? Curious what extras you have too

Much appreciated!! Luke

Decided to try to fix the terrible suspension system on my snugpak UQ once and for all. I've experimented with a bunch of no-sew mods to which try to compensate for the lack of cincheable end-channels but none of them really worked for me and I felt like I was unpacking a parachute every time I...

Interested - PM'd

I'm Sussex based and would have been up for this. Unfortunately I'm supposed to be at a wedding over those dates. But if that's postponed (again) or if you settle on different dates I'm interested.

I like to tip a handful or two of frozen blackcurrants into my morning porridge just before serving. My gf and I got through a full freezer drawer full in a couple of months like this. Supermarket berries just don't have the same punch, sadly.

I think it's quite funny how pretty much everyone has such a strong opinion on why the government approach is absolutely terrible every step of the way. Can people accept that this pandemic is a problem of mind-boggling complexity, the likes of which the world has never known? And yet almost...

Sad to hear this; I'm new to the community and would have loved the opportunity to meet some of you in person, but count me in for the next one :)

I've had one on my peanut feeder every day for the last week after not having had one come down all winter. It could be a change in the availability of food, although that seems strange coming into spring..

Thanks, that's high praise indeed. The only thing I'd advise against is to cut so deeply into the handles between the paracord holes and the mortices. It's a nice aesthetic choice but on reflection I'm a bit worried about that whole section shearing off if the tension is too high.

Another lockdown project, this one a bit quicker. I ordered a 24" Bahco dry cut blade and based the proportions off that. I used oak, mostly because I had some well-seasoned in the workshop, but it's also a very strong wood so a decent choice in it's own right. I used slotted head bolts for...

I thought people were just winding me up to start with. I've honestly gazed at it for ages in all different lights and I just can't see it :O_O: Thanks for the kind words all! When I do next make a knife you'll be the first to hear of it! I'm thinking some kind of hidden tang carver to...

I've forged a small neck knife for my girlfriend before, and put a handle on a Condor Bushlore, but this was my first time making a full-sized knife from start to finish. I've wanted a woodlore for as long as I can remember, so I designed the knife based on that (sort of). The handle is around 4...
