    MWK whisk broom

    Nice job there. I have one I made and I used it to brush the patio table off when the wind would blow ashes all over the place from my wood stove. Easy to make but damn useful.

    Bcb crusader

    I'll second what TonyUK said about ebay and the Crusader lid woodlorien makes them to order and I have one for my Mk1 cup, fits perfectly. He also has lids for the ToC British Army mess tins.

    What do you use for spoon templates

    Plasticard is your friend here. It's sheets of A4 size plastic in varying thicknesses easy to cut with a knife or scissors. Have a look in your local model shop or online at Hannants. https://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php?search=Plasticard

    Recommend a new image hosting site please!..

    My problem with photo bucket isn't connected with it 3rd party posting but just lately it got so slow, I've only got 175 images there, but it take the home page about 2 minutes to load and half the time it says done and half the images don't load. I've been using Imageshack and it's 100% better.

    **EDIT** Please disregard. I was interested in it until I checked on the CBP (APHIS) website. Good luck I hope it goes to a good home soon.

    Double thickness handkerchiefs

    Looking good Richard, When my wife decided on 2...then 3 I thought it prudent to get another DPM/Orange as she keeps eyeing my first one. I get the feeling it might 'disappear' if you know what I mean.:) By the way she really likes the blue one.:thanks:

    Woodgas type stoves?

    I've got one of the ten quid ebay ones and it's my wifes favourite for chilly evenings on the patio. She likes it because I quote "even I can get a good fire going". Here it's fired up using cat litter wood pellets.
