You might look at trail running shoes, i know you arent running but they do grip well on mud and the like. The toes are usually more solid to avoid rock kicks

I used clay bricks from an friends old wall. I believe they hold the heat longer. I'm not sure if concrete, depending on the mix can stand the kind of heat in an oven. Ive seen where a thermal mix concrete (perlite added) is used to insulate the oven, but that's about it.. I believe the dome...

SPF and checking about posting..

Hello, I'm selling this knife, used, light wear, some small nicks to the spine. The sheath has some scratches and wear. Over 18yo only please. £300 inc P&P. PayPal. Please PM.

Its about 10cm long and 1cm wide, cap at one end and compass cap at the other end.

I've got the bevels ground and am starting on the sharpening with a variety of stones.. I'm hoping to beeswax the sheath tonight. After that its choosing the contents of the tube! Keen to see others take on the finishing..

Looks great!

A good winner!

My wife, Jane wears them and is very happy with them.. Agree with the downhill part! She had issues hill running till she got the hang of it..

Are there any museums or national trust properties nearby that have interpreters or put on events? When I helped at an iron age thing at Holyrood in Edinburgh, the team there had some items they used that we could access to supplement what we brought along.

Ive made an aluminium finger guard and started on the bevels. Ive done one side at 11 degrees and starting on the other.. Sloooow going with the belt... Going to start on the nut to hold the handle on next. Not going at it all the time, the odd hour or so through the week.

Frost on the way to work..

I did a bit more of the finger guard, and finally got going with the blade.. I needed to make a jig to hold the blade and got started... It'll take a while, and a few sanding belts..

A 5.11 shirt (very unexpected) and a Black Diamond Power light. Happy Christmas and hope everyone gets out and about to give any new gear/toys a test!!

Ive been at it for a week so far! Ive got pics of the process, so ill put up a series once its (hopefully) done. So far its been done with hand tools and a dremel.. ill have to work out some knd of lathe for the bolt.. nice pics..

I bought a blank and handle too, still to start on the blade, but I've been filing and cutting away on a bit of aluminium block from eBay for the finger guard. A fair number of pics to get the shape and measurements approximated from... bit more work today on the recess for the handle with a...
