That might do it if I stripped the paint off. Janne - Basically I'm going to wrap them in aluminium foil and hit them together, get a loud crack and a spark from an extremely localised thermite reaction, you can also hit them either side of a sheet of paper and burn through it. Been after...

Didn't think of reclamation yards, I'll have a look around and see what I can find around here.

I did think about industrial but they'd probably be stainless and I need iron. Small cannon balls would be ideal, around fist sized but larger isn't an issue.

This is quite new for us, first time filming and editing, have a few ideas on the next round once we've posted this batch so watch this space. Episode 2 will cover the roughing out and shaping of the bow.

Slightly odd request but I need a couple of largish iron balls for some Science demos I want to do. Needs to be iron and not a problem if slightly rusty. Any ideas?

:D 4 episodes to this particular video, I've got a few more lined up after that but we're hoping to start up a BCUK video channel of articles and reviews so comments and feedback welcome.

A couple of moots ago we spent some time filming different people and topics. This is the first in a series of videos we're going to be posting over the coming weeks. The Mini Bow making vidoes are over 4 episodes. Let us know what you think. Thanks to Wayne of Forest Knights for the filming.

So I know most of us will make some changes to kit between winter and summer camping but do you find yourself camping differently or setting up your camp in a different way?

I've got an Ipevo webcam/visualiser with a microscope attachment so I can place it over any older microscope and take pictures on the laptop. Not that expensive so might be worth looking at.

Tengu do you not have access to one through the University?

I've got a Caldera Cone and combined with the Alpkit Pot it's easily my favourite lightweight cooking setup, boils 750ml of water on less than 20ml of meths or I can raise the pot up and use it as a wood(twig) burner/hobo stove. Had it for a few years now But I think if memory serves me right...

Difficult discussion without sounding judgemental this one. I eat meat although I definitely eat a lot less than previously and I also regularly enjoy vegetarian and vegan meals. There is quite a bit of evidence out there of the health benefits of being vegan and also some interesting reads...

I haven't had that yet, I find the condensation usually acts to seal the pot but I never get enough steam that it will lift the lid that way even on the rare times I run it on high.

Our slow cooker gets used quite a bit, especially this time of the year. Throwing veg and meat in the morning or even the night before and then walking in from work to that smell is great. Also do some fantastic curries, slow roasts and deserts, just needs a small bit of forward planning. I...

As above really, humous is easy to make yourself in bulk and a good protein source, guacamole, salsa, there are quite a few veg oil based margarines, coconut oil is really nice. If you can find some large wraps that she can eat they work quite well once they learn to fold them, my 3 year old son...

Hi Zamboni The issue I've got is with the site upgrade we've moved across from bushcraftuk.com/forums to bushcraftuk.com/community. In the links if you change the word forums to community the old link does actually work. I am looking at running a script which will look for all instances of...

Should be working now.

OK a bit more digging and I think the patch upgrade has done something to the search engine.

Have you tried this before and it worked? I just need establish whether this is a new bug or something I've just not spotted before. Matt

OK thanks, I'll look into it now, it might be something caused by the recent patch our server guys installed.
