I've recently bought a pair of these, nice comfy keks. I actually prefer button flys but the zip seems decent quality so I'll xopeand the lack of a back pocket is a little bit of an issue cos thats where my pocket knife generally lives. I've put the pocket clip back on and my Manly Wasp is in my...

Very little out of the ordinary other than a 600 grit diamond card that came with a much larger diamond hone I bought. Mostly vets used for router bits but seems to double up as an RF shield for my bank cards. Also a Salto lock keycard which gives me management privileges on unprogrammed Salto...

I had a Swedish mess kitfor ages but this year there were two homeless lads living on a bit of local waste ground and after a bit of thought I figured it's ability to be used over a campfire made it more suitable than other stoves. I reckon their need was greater than mine and gave it to em...

Loki is a great name for a dog.

I had a sheath with the ferro rod bit on it and after a few weeks of ownership I cut it off cos it was more ornament than use.

When walking the dog Ive often got a small frisbee on one pocket, a few treats (young dog) in another, rolled up doglead on another and sometimes a hat rolled up in another so I like having a few pockets. However, one part of a jacket I just can't stand and would happily do without is a hood...

Axe heads are pretty overbuilt so personally I wouldn't worry about the pitting as long as you can get a reasonably decent edge on it. If you make something usable that you need then its worth the effort, if you just learn something valuable in the process its still worth the effort. Don't...

Actually that sites pretty good as well, some interesting stuff on there. Ta muchly for bringing it to my attention.

Ahh, that does sound nice. Might have to give that one a go.

If I didn't see any evidence of gamekeepers routinely persecuting raptors I wouldn't have just used the BASc (notice the small c?, thats cos I think conservation is their smallest concern) recommended answers and mostly swapped em round to opposites. So, err. Done. I do believe that there should...

Signed, although I'm not too hopeful about it encouraging the government to have a conscience.

Do you mean a woodworkers vice or a metalworkers vice? There's significant differences although one way to mount a metalworking vice to a bench is to fasten it onto a timber cleat and hold that cleat in a woodworkers vice. That way you can have a permanently mounted woodworkers vice and...

Crap, I botched that quote up, anyway I usdd to go to Hodge Close a fair bit years ago and I don't know if you know that area but the small quarry I used to go through to get down to the bottom (think it's called Parkeets Quarry?) always had a mass of crap dumped in it by the locals. Same with...

I have some I wear for work, they're much better than a fleece cos at least theyre windproof to some extent. The best one cost ￡8.50 on Ebay and is made by Matterhorn, its a promotional one with branding from a type of lorry taillift all over it. Sawdust and shavings don't get caught up in it...

Oh and if you put welded on endcaps on the square section, a round bar tgrough them then you can use pillow block bearings on either end to hold it on. Something like that?

My father and one of my brothers set gate hinges into sandstone gate stoops using molten lead when I was a kid and I've just recently stuck a broken in two 92 inch high sandstone window mullian together with short lengths of twisted stainless steel and resin. Out of those two techniques I reckon...

Not exactly true, I've visited that secret cave a number of times over the years and either it wasn't trashed or it got repared a bit after it was. The metal framed door with cemented in stones eventually came apart like it was always going to. Close it a bit hard and it would have come to bits...

Hmm, I could do with flogging my Chris Reeves Jereboam 1 knife and US prices seem rather better than UK ones. Might be hard work sending it though. If I was flogging missiles to Saudi to use in Yemen it would likely be dead easy but a knife? Nooooooo.

Nope, can't think of any times I've burned myself whilst camping. Well, not any real burn, the odd singed fingers but realistically thats nowt.
