If you are going to be levering I would want something more able to resist the forces involved. Can you use a length of tube on the outside which would be stronger. Or make the extension part a metal tube that slides over the first part?

Had a couple of hire cars recently, couldnt stand all the Bing Bongy B#llo#ks. Going round a parked car and had to fight the steering wheel which wanted to crash into it.

Usefull to know thankyou :-) But I will never see my power tool batteries ever again!

We have a Henry in the house and a Hetty in the garage. We inherited a brand new Dyson battery operated vac a couple of years ago, wife prefers it to the Henry as it more convenient and easier to use. However we both use the Henry more than the Dyson as the Dyson run time just isnt long...

+1 for just tempering the steel down a few points and grinding hard. I did some tests a few years back and some files are impossible/very difficult to harden. I would be interested to know what brand your Farriers Rasp was - I have found Bassoli to be good for knives. Did you like the...

This should be about opening up other areas for wild camping, which would relieve the pressure on Dartmoor! The amount spent on 'Private Keep Out' signs in the UK must exceed the GDP of some small countries. Round here, Dianas brother, (cant remember his name), is particularly hot on reminding...

If you do not have a perfect fit between the scales and the knife blank a good way to join them is with a layer of epoxy soaked cloth. Type of cloth is not critical but choose the colour wisely. You can make it a feature or practically invisible and it will form a sealing layer between steel...
