    More carboot tools

    It could be some form of fence wire tensioner:confused: The jaws on left clamping near the end of the fence wire and another piece wound round the drum on the right, pulling them together so they could be be joined. Also gives a measurement of the tension:confused:

    I was just wondering :o, he's been doing stuff about Rogue tools recently and they are made from these sort of things. I don't think dad will have any on our farm, but I can ask him to ask around if you would like. Cheers Grebby

    Kupilka Classic Plate

    After reading Stews thread about plates I'm possibly interested in getting a Kupilka one. I've searched and searched but can only find the same spiel about volume and weight. Could anyone tell me how wide the plate is (inner edge to inner edge) and how deep? I can't seem to find this info...

    Done it again! Tell us your injury stories!

    Vader Gass Bottle Log Burner

    My wife just showed me this http://www.instructables.com/id/Vader-Gas-Bottle-Log-Burner/ I was wondering if anyone on here could make one for me and how much it would cost?

    Wanted: MSR Dragonfly pump

    Mine is over 10 years and has never been a problem. That said I would rather have a nice metal pump, just to make me feel better about it. That said I tend to use my 111T instead nowadays. That's your fault riik ;)

    Bushcraft accidents research

    Weird metal work question

    Hi BR, I was tidying up the front garden and digging up some bamboo and I bust one of the tines off my digging fork:aargh4:. It's about 25cm long with a slight curve and 10mm square. From a stainless fork. It should be strong enough for what you want but I would have thought that it would...
