Thanks for explaining, sorry if my question sounded daft, so your new log cabin is mobile? How does that work? I hope you don't mind me asking, it's just all new to me.

Well done you for managing to go 'undetected' for 10 years and get planning by default! Now forgive me, but I got the impression that your beautiful log cabin was recently built? Does it replace another structure, did you need planning for that and, given that you have circumvented the planning...

You have done a great job there and, especially in the second photo, it really blends in well to its surroundings. Did you, by any chance, make any videos of the build? It would be great to see them eg. on YouTube. Having just built 5 raised beds in my own garden - mine are narrower, longer and...

Hand tools and power tools are …. tools. Use whichever one suits you best. Power tools were invented for a reason :)

In my case, I've ruled out those Japanese imports because of the big engines which probably are fuel hungry. I also wondered if I'd end up paying over the top for servicing/maintenance. Regarding French vehicles reliability or being made in a plant in Romania: I reckon reliability have improved...

That is a beautiful bag. Just looking at all the neat detailing, it seems to me that an incredible amount of planning went into the design, and skill into it's execution. All the materials, and their colours, look great. I should imagine with some care it could last a lifetime. Well done to the...

Yep, we are looking at solving similar 'problems'. So, in my mind, a compromise is needed. My feeling (tonight) is that the smaller Ford Transit Connect would be MY best bet as I'll do more day-to-day driving than camping ……… maybe the Scudo/Dispatch or similar will be best for you given your...

I used to have Athlete's Foot, to the point where the skin would split quite deeply between my toes and it was really painful. One thing I found was changing my socks mid-way through the day helped a lot. Washing my feet whenever they felt hot helped too (not always possible). Swapping between...

If you are getting a company to do it, I assume you mean a company with lots of experience who do this commercially? Why not write a detailed brief and ask them for advice? They are the professionals, after all. I've been looking at a similar idea but mine is a van to use as my daily transport...

Thanks all for the replies. I'll give the vinegar a go and see what happens :)

Hi Folks, I thought I had read a post about this on this forum but for whatever reason I can't find it. I've been gifted 14 files of various shapes and sizes and in various conditions, some with a lot of wear, some with rust. I read that if I clean them (wire brush followed by a rag/white...

There are about 10 anvils in various shapes, sizes and conditions on Gumtree at the moment.

Fallkniven is the brand. I have the DC3 but in hindsight I think I would prefer the larger DC4. For what it's worth, I have three knives; A Morakniv with a dayglow orange handle and sheath (easy to find if dropped in the grass), an old Victorinox from the 1970's, and an Opinel No.6. I don't...

Lovely work. Will you apply a finish to them when you are done?

I've a mate with a Black & Decker drill, some B&Q dowels and some ISOPON car body filler from which he fashions 'teef'. £400 paand to you , Gav'nah!

Can't see photo. I'm just getting a small black box with an 'X' in it and the letters 'img'. The 'show picture' command doesn't help. :(

..plus if you tie the end in a knot, you can use it to take onions home from the supermarket .... every little helps !

I'm salivating already. I'm thinking we need photo's next time someone cooks mussels :)

Robson, we use that recipe almost every time we cook mussels. We normally have it as a main course rather than as a starter. Being UK based, we can buy Muscadet-sur-lie French wine easily enough and we use that both to cook the mussels and to drink with the meal. For the bread, we sometimes cut...

My take on carrying a knife, or the driving analogy, is simple. If the current law says it's illegal to carry a certain type of knife, or to drive about a certain speed, don't do it. If you don't agree with the current law, don't flout it, campaign to change it. The excuse of 'I'm not the kind...
