    I'm Scottish and I don't see a problem with #4 either...

    Are the Lakes open from Wednesday or not?

    I respectfully disagree, England is a bit further down the curve than Scotland is so it doesn't make sense for Scotland to release too early or indeed for England to hold back when they are ready to release. I personally don't agree with the new England rules, they are illogically and fatally...

    RIP Dave Greenfield.

    Stranglers was one of the first concerts I ever went to, Glasgow Apollo early 80's always loved them and had booked to see them again when they were back up here in November. Hopefully will still go ahead but definitely wont be the same without him. Sad loss, he was a very talented guy. My...

    Commissioning a Knife – Wolven Path Forge, Canadian belt knife 2

    Nice read and it's a nice process to share. Looks like it's coming on fine and the finished article should be great! I do love a CBK and think they're quite underrated. I use mine far more than I use my woodlore pattern and the bottom one in the pic below is my go to knife now. For camp use...

    The Covid19 Thread

    Lol, car ownership was very very middle class up until about the 60s, that's why houses built before then don't have cars in mind, in fact they weren't even considered. The working class were supposed to walk to the mine and back again. We have rows of cottages up here that don't even have...

    Summer hats - styles and options

    You thinking of a havelock? WW2 Japanese were fond of these 'neck curtains' I just have an old, beat up, US boonie hat, comes plenty size choices but tbh it's down to your own preference.

    Hou canoes

    14 foot is a little too small for being 2 up, depending on the size of the two. Once I get my lunch etc in there it'd definitely be too small!! My lad and I are 6 footers and our 15 foot works well. The old canoe adage is you can have lightweight, carrying capacity and toughness, pick any 2...

    The Covid19 Thread

    Manufacturing companies make... money... Tax to pay for all things the government needs, NHS staff, new ventilators, pensions.... We are all to some extent key members of the workforce. The gov't knows that manufacturing is still going on and you were told you could travel to and from work (if...

    I did a search for workzone table saw manual and found a manual on a website called manualslib. It may or may not be the same saw and it may or may not have good instructions on how to set it up but the manuals I have for other stuff was pretty good. HTH Alan

    WG you would do well to run with the premise that everything politicians say is a lie distorted truth, you won't be often disappointed

    The Covid19 Thread

    I think they are weighing up the panic or issues a lockdown will create against 'managing' the outbreak and the issues that would create. Money is and probably should be the no 1 issue. and when we say money we mean the impact to the economy. This pays for the NHS, state pensions, flood...

    MS Bushcrafter

    Yeah you did Mick, about 2008/2009 something like that. Was before you started marking them with B's although got a mini with a B on too for my archery knife. Think I miss your stuff and Stu Barkers stuff the most, you were the two guys who most inspired me to try and do some handling of...

    Need advice quickly

    There should be no issues drinking from the tap, the OP was talking about drinking from sources outdoors. Bit of a zombie resurrection fella
