That's great. Shooting with a proper long bow is an experience if one is only used to modern bows. I made a long bow at a workshop during either the 1st or 2nd Bushmoot - can't remember now - I loved that thing and used it too. I'd kept it for many, many years. Only recently losing it after...

@baggins it's arrived. It' perfect, thanks again. I'll have a crack at making a guard tomorrow and pop a pic up of the finished article. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

I'd find that very disconcerting I think. Being able to see the floor below me when I'm trying to sleep [emoji23] 200g puts my FrontlineXL to shame though, even after converting to whoopie straps the beast is still over a kg in weight. Pedals or engine? OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

This hobby of ours is all about ingenuity and that these is a great example :)

The bowl I am currently working on is in a vice. I imagine this would work much better. I want one :) Nice bowl too.

Ah that's excellent. Yes, that's how it caught my eye. I'd never noticed them before, until a piece of bark just sailed past my face. Just googled them and apparently the bark used to be used as paper too. There are loads here, so I now have a fairly endless supply. And where I work they are...

Just spotted a good few of these in the gardens in work peeling like a lepper! I've never tried before but I wonder if the bark can be treated as tinder in the same way as for other variants of the Birch family that we are more familiar with where use of bark as tinder is concerned, such as...

Gamekeeper John does an excellent band length tutorial on You Tube. The easiest way but not necessarily the most accurate is to hold the band in hand the catapult would normally be in and 'draw' the bands back to your anchor point. Keep adjusting until the bands are at full stretch. Then you...

Here you go. Hope they help. In the last one you can see where the paracord has clearly saved the haft from what would have been a considerable dink! Also, if I recall I tested the idea of using pva without the water and you can see the result. Where as if you add water it does produce a clear...

Look for any video that shows you how to accomplish 'common whipping' as the principle is the same no matter what you wrap it around. I would also recommend a piece of inner tube at the bottom though that also aids in stopping it slipping. The pva works well but a hard knock will inevitable push...

That's some pretty impressive shots for a Tamron 70-300 OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

I'll do that. Thanks again. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

In which case @baggins I should be paying for the postage........in fact, I should be paying for it anyway! Let me send it to you. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

Just before my time the 60's and the only thing I was carrying in the 70s was a teddy bear so can't say I owned one personally [emoji6] But that looks proper professional and I'd certainly own one of those now. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

Top man. Very kind but please dont go out of your way. No rush. Erratic everywhere, we live in crazy times! OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

Ah that's interesting, thank you. I didnt think it was dieback, I've seen that myself so know what I'm seeing. So if its left is it 'contagious' or whatever the correct word is for bacterial transfer between trees? And as per the name I guess it only occurs on ash? OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

As per title really. What causes this in trees? Some sort of virus...fungi.....damage? Whatever it is does it only affect certain trees? Sorry about picture quality. Light wasn't great. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com

That's an interesting idea. OLO www.onelifeoverland.com
