Great tutorial Red, really enjoyed reading this and got if marked for this coming year. Just one question when you say "The first fermentation will be violent so leave plenty of "headspace". Top up when things are calm." How long does the first fermentation take and what do you do with the extra...

I think the gadget your talking about is the quick sharp? yellow thing? If so i think its a bit of a gimmic to be honest. I was talking to a guy at a show recently (soltec in windsor) and he was trying desperatly to sell me one. By his reckoning, the chain is good for about 20-30 sharpens...

i'll second what scrubcutter has said about these boots, ive had two pairs, not because they were worn out but due to my feet still growing. I bought my first pair about 4 odd years ago and then my feet grew two sizes so i got another pair, both are in excellent condition even after serious...

Thanks mods, does anyone know how else i could contact him, he is a member here i've sent pm's before? Mark

Nice bit of work there, just goes to show with bit of graft what you can do, i bet people would pay a pretty sum for that in a fancy garden centre. How is it held together? did you use nails and screws or just cordage? Cheers Mark

Nice work demographic, really like that idea Mark

Wow, thats some nice work eric, truly a stunning piece of work. How long did it take may i ask, it would take me a year of sundays to achieve anything like that. well done chap Mark

Shewi thanks for the reply, i've had a few quotes for the work to be done, but i really fancied the same fleece as i have seen on telly. however i may just have to go with another type, there are loads ive seen that i like so far Many Thanks Mark

Hi guys, (mods and others please forgive my ramblings and feel free to tell me if this is in the wrong place) What im after is the colletive wealth of knowledge you guys have. Im lookig for a fleece now before we go into the "do a search" (i already have) its not for bushcrafty type stuff its...
