Hmm Canada...could it be the white hairs of a snowshoe hare? Cheers, Tom

Hi Ron, nice to see you on this forum too! Cheers, Tom

Hi Hog, I´ve taped 26 episodes in the past and converted them later from VHS to a DVD. I´ve traded another disc here that has a couple of other ones on it (it has 18 episodes in total, some double with my first DVD, the sound of this latter DVD grows progressively out of sync). The river...

I found it in my hometown, Zaandam, about ten miles north of Amsterdam, so the location is in the Netherlands but it should grow in the UK as well. Cheers, Tom

As far as I know chaga grows exclusively on birch trees but it is worth investigating if you walk into that ash tree again. Cheers, Tom

I found some chaga (Inonotus obliquus, or true tinder fungus as the Americans call it) last week. I had found this fungus in the past before but that was after looking closely at thousands of birch trees for months in wooded areas. Now I just ran into it during a bicyle ride along a road in the...

Thanks for the kind words I just picked up a fragment of shell and 'saw' a fishhook in the shape, so I didn't choose a particular angle of the shell. I used a file to take away the curvature of the fragment and make the hook a flatter shape. The shell looks quite uniform, with some lighter...

Wow that´s stunning work! He´s a bit ahead of me I´m afraid... :notworthy Cheers, Tom

Probably stuff like buttons, pendants, small arrowheads (the curvature of the shell would limit the size of the latter)...I´m not done with experimenting yet, it´s interesting stuff this coconutshell! Cheers, Tom

As my 8 year old daughter had decided that she wanted "to taste a coconut" I bought one for her in the supermarket. There wasn't much fluid inside but the white flesh layer was quite thick. After one bite Jools decided that this wasn't her cup of tea so I munched half of the flesh away myself...

For me, flint and iron pyrite works very well with the untreated trama layer of horse hoof fungus. Just scrape it into a fine woolly mass and (try to...:rolleyes:) direct the sparks onto it. Cheers, Tom

Found a normal coloured one here in Holland last week, will check next week if the cap turns brown: Cheers, Tom

`so if people want to see more, I will upload them when I next get the chance` We want more! :) Cheers, Tom

Thanks Ged! There´s a slicht chance I can find some redundant pH-electrodes at the lab where I work so I can take them apart to find out if there´s some platinum in them (hopefully in the form of a wire...) Cheers, Tom

What exactly does an Electroplater do? And in what kind of products did the platinum wire end up? Cheers, Tom

A female kestrel, beautiful pic´s! Cheers, Tom

I found this large one a few weeks ago: Gymnopilus junonius Cheers, Tom

Hi Bucketosudz, a very interesting find! I´ve got a French book on firelighting techniques (from primitive to modern) that has your Airflam lighter and other similar brands in it. The book is called ´La grande aventure du feu´and is written by Bertrand Roussel and Paul Boutie. According to...

That one looks remarkably like this souffle...so it must be edible :rolleyes: http://www.worldonaplate.org/world_on_a_plate/2005/10/imbb_20_souffle.html Cheers, Tom
