Despite the ebay seller disappearing.... Qty one oven turned up today!!!
dropped off at the wrong house mind despite having a perfectly good and correct address label. So for your delight see attempts 3 and 4
The oven softens the pvc so much easier than a heat gun, so much easier. Just a...
Hi Dave, not received oven yet so no comment yet. For the belt loop I drilled 6 holes in the pvc where the bolster would be and sewed on some inner tube. (Found tube before webbing!!!). The hole near the tip is for an s hook or binner for use in camp, like I said it locks tight so can be stored...
Hi Tony, The white one was maybe 5 mins to soften. The black is much thick walled and so was way longer. Add the fact I was doing it outside so losing loads of heat. Worst part was just being impatient and not letting the black one heat up properly. 5 goes at 6 mins a go when I should have...
Bought a very cheap knife to use with a fire steel, came with a cardboard sleeve! So I picked up some pvc pipe and a heat gun.
White is 1st go, black is 2nd go.
The white was £1.20 for 3 metres and the black less then a fiver, again 3 metre length.
I only had a small set of tongs to hold it...
It can also be draged along a blade edge. Place a knife, blade upper most, near your tinder bundle. Hold the steel handle and place your finger along the length of wood, ferro rod below. Drag the steel over the blade at 90 degrees and the sparks fall onto the tinder. The wood keeps the finger safe.
Treat myself to a few blank Ferro rods and knock up 3 for the grandkids.
First is a simple stick with a grove in the top half, which I drilled a few holes into. Cut some notches in the ferro rod and used milliput as the glue.
Also made a "standard" one (Yes it moved while the araldite set!)...
So sorry But I have been a naughty boy. Truth is this is part of the Romano - Britain section of the Museum of London. I did sit there for a good while thinking it would be such a cool mancave but alas it was but a dream.
Hope those who reacted with likes and comments can see the funny...
It has taken a good few years now but at long last I have got my mancave finished. The flagstones where already there.
EDIT in truth this is in the Museum of London, a kind of very early April fool!
My adult son son went to work today, again. After way way too many years getting kicked back again and again and again... he is now back standing so much taller. He has been feeling like a human being for some 10 days now. While there are many folk who do not want to get a job, there are so...
Get the point about the packets but tend to use more "loose" gel. While the wind may take some hexi smell, it (to me) it is still some where on the planet and affecting me.
