Smashing cutlery there Rev :cool:( are you a real Reverend??) Cheers, John :)

Ha ha ha!! I leave them and only change the time if i'm going to wear a particular watch.. Most are mechanical though and require putting right as they stop after a couple of days, a few times i've tried winding as many as possible- the most I managed was 71 (from memory!) before my...

Hi My hobbies include (mostly!) collecting stuff, the stuff I collect is- These.. Little 'uns too.. And pellets! Geetars.. Watches.. Sharp stuff.. I also do Bonsai, keep tropical fish and also started fishing again a couple of years ago after a twenty year layoff!! Almost forgot...

Cheers Hugo I was using it a couple of weeks ago to reduce branches from my hedges, it holds an edge for ages!! EDIT- forgot to say, there are some beautiful axes, hawks and mauls in this thread :cool: Cheers, John :)

Hi Santaman It's barely visible, it says plumb1942.. Cheers, John :)

Hi Dave Some i've had for years but since I stopped smoking in '06 i've had loads of spare cash and was being offered guns all the time :cool: My HWs apart from the three 35s i've already shown.. HW80, .22cal.. HW95 on a ambi stock (non HW) Another HW80, it's in a left handed stock but is...

Ha ha!! I'm actually just a collector though the wife wishes I wasn't :o A few more pics.. John :)

Hi all I have a couple more but no pics of them... L to R Plumbs 1942 US army axe Spear & Jackson (can't remember the weight but it's not heavy.. Swift, also Sheffield made as is the S&J No makers marks on the last one.. Have this too but i'm unsure if it's an axe or a roofers...

Hi I missed this tyhread somehow.... Some of mine.. I have around 70 rifles and over 20 pistols, i'll not post them all as photobucket is horrible to navigate now and it would probably take all day to find the pics :( Cheers, John :)

Here's some natural catty forks cut from my garden along with my li'l whittler :cool: WOW!! Big watch!! Ahhhh no!! Li'l whittler actually :D:D John :)

Looking at the state it's in now, I don't think plastic ninja can possibly make it any worse :( (poor thing !!).. It needs good quality stones and hope that the previous grinding hasn't removed too much metal.. The keen edge comes with the polishing and a secondary bevel is to be totally...

Been collecting them for over thirty five years :o:o Here's what I thought was around half of them but more boxes have turned up in the spare room that I'd forgotten about, I think I have around 2,500 but a lot of them don't work and are for spares (I used to have a go at repairing but...

Fair point that, Possibly buy (or make!) a cheapo sword then try to get the same finish as the Japanese polishers, I think they use various stoes stones to 8000 grit:Wow: John :)

As you said, you can't make it any worse so have a bash at it :notworthy The Tsuba on mine had gold iin it originally but it was robbed out, The face on the figure at the right has gone as well as other bits (my pic is rubbish i'm afraid :() A lot of years ago a lad brought a Samurai sword...

Hi It needs polishing with waterstones but it's not a job that just anyone can do unfortunately :( Whoever made that mess of it ought to be made to feel 'the sharp' end of it!! I have one that's over 330 years old and has been remounted twice.. I was told that I should send it to Japan for a...

Hi The tritium hands etc, are these the little vial things that glow brightly in different colours? I'm fancying that watch!! :D Cheers, John :)

Hi This is my favourite watch but being old and mechanical and what with me being sooooo clumsy, I only wear it occasionally (1965).. Venus 178 powerplant.. I actually wear this most of the time even though I have about 2,000 watches!! I'm also hankering for another one of these, Pulsar...

Hi Chris You could email (or phone) Stephen Burrage at Ryte Time watch Repairs, He fixed my Breitling Navitimer up with a new crystal and replaced all the hands when it came into a hard object at speed!!!! The watch is usually posted to him along with a check to cover repair + return post...

Thanks Dec :cool: Goofu??? :) John :)
