    wild Berrys

    Leaves look like wild service, but I've no direct experience of it. Not at all sure. BTW - possibly useful resource: http://www.sxbrc.org.uk/projects/hedgerows/hedgerow_tree_book.pdf Lists WS, but no ID for it.

    wild Berrys

    It really isn't poisonous from personal experience (with the usual provisos of YMMV etc.) http://www.millionmenu.info/eng/recipes/collection/drecip1069/ http://www.millionmenu.info/eng/recipes/collection/drecip3565/

    wild Berrys

    Guelder rose. Edible cooked, there's a few recipes online for drinks & pies made with them.

    Leather clamps.

    Bulldog clips or ratchet clamps (with scrap glued in) for me - I find those spring clamps a bit too aggressive for leather. Marvellous for other gluing jobs, however.

    Yup, and to complete it - I'm talking about agar in a petri dish . Added - Found this on spore propagation: http://www.cce.cornell.edu/clinton/ag/forestry/mushrooms/Growing%20Gourmet%20Mushrooms%20bw.pdf http://mushroomspawn.cas.psu.edu/SpawnGrowth.htm...

    Mushroom growing kits

    The plugs I've seen have been fairly well riddled with mycelia by the time they get to the customer; so for DIY, there's no reason why not. Right about the sterilised plugs though - and the spores are usually brought on initially on agar slides.

    Optimus Nova Plus

    I used http://www.yell.com to find paint factors using "Automotive paint" as search terms; my nearest is Autocolours ( http://www.autocolours.co.uk ). I'm still working through a tin that I picked up in York a number of years ago... HTH.

    BB hacked again

    Hmm. Sounds possible. However, fubar, snafu and the likes are derived from military terms; the adoption of glitch probably predates IT. I *am* working - I'm waiting for a build to complete :D

    BB hacked again

    Glitch, not hack AFAICT. Speaking of which - does anyone know if glitch really was originally an acronym for Goes Loopy Initially Then Completely Haywire?

    Charlotte? Is that you?

    Home firing a pot?

    Depends what you want to do with them. Fimo and similar are PVC compounds (that can be hardened in a domestic oven); I feel they tend to leach. Even "fired", they still smell of plasticisers...

    Watts The Point

    When diving in murky waters, my blue-white HID (rated at 10W, but claimed to be equivalent to a 25W halogen) cuts through the crud far more effectively than the more yellow halogens.

    Is Ray Mears Fundamental Bushcraft Course Course leader a woman?

    Tsk. Spoil my punning, why don't you :D

    Is Ray Mears Fundamental Bushcraft Course Course leader a woman?

    I suspect alcohol on the courses is a no-no. So it'll be Sprite, not spirit.

    suggestion to sharpen serated blade

    Well, the usual suggestion is to use a triangular stone for sharpening. Might be possible to do something with a piece of triangular hardwood wrapped in wet & dry? I've got a Spyderco Sharpmaker, so I've no real need to try except in the spirit of experimentation...

    Attaching a yoke to PLCE Side pockets

    Of course, I've only just remembered that you're not actually that far from me geograffically - so you could have seen mine setup. Oops. Sorry!

    Marbled handles...

    Yes, they do ship to the UK. I've got some purple & black that was bought for a project that was shelved.

    Marbled handles...

    If you want to get *really* funky, have a look at something like Inlace Acrylester... Link might work: http://www.texasknife.com/store/s-pages/TKS_MainframeStore.htm?TKS_7HandleMat-3.htm~smain

    Extracting wax and oil

    Possibly a fractionating column? I remember one from school days that had glass discs all the way down a central column; the column wasn't fixed, so it could bump up & down in the vertical tube. This would probably make far more sense if I could find a picture...
