I didn't make it with a use in mind to be honest, it was just because I had the box section left over from a previous project and I was fed up with moving it around, The reason I used soft wood was because I wanted a fast, hot fire to test the boil time but I think it would have been too hot...

The results are in... I fired up the stove with a small fire just to cure the paint while I got on with some other jobs then hoofed it up with a few pieces of soft wood kindling. I had a little play trying to cover the feed hole but this made it smoke a lot so even with the fairly open...

Just found a chap on YouTube who made one, looked really effective.

Yeah defiantly, I thought I might only get a chance to build my dream workshop once so done it a best as I could. Didn't enjoy the building work so much but did enjoy fitting it out and learned a lot from the experience. It's still a working progress. I'll try and cut out a solid plate...

Yes, possibly and that's a thought that crossed my mind too as well as affecting the air flow. The slots are 10 mm so not too big to let largish coals fall through but large enough to let ash out if you give it a wiggle, at least that's the plan. I saw a few online that didn't have any way of...

Thanks guys and yeah you wouldn't want to take it backpacking :D

I had some time to myself on Monday so decided to make myself a rocket stove. I don't really have a purpose for it but had some 4 inch box section that was left over from another project and it's been getting in my way so after seeing them online I thought I'd get the tools out. After settling...

I restored one of my fathers split cane rods quite a few years ago. I removed the eyes and used a cabinet scraper to remove the old coating. I didn't want to sand it as that may have rounded the angles slightly. I then re whipped the eyes and varnished it with a flexible varnish and fitted an...

I'm still out of the game, hopefully going through immunization soon so I can keep bees again. Roll on next season!!

Good catch!! You beat me to it

When we go to shows I tent to take my old kit just in case. Never had a problem to be honest and just keep things out of sight. Last year we went to the Bushcraft show and took our niece so although we slept under tarps I also took my polish lavvu which was great as the girls could change in...

We grow various different types of tomatoes in ours as well as chillies, peppers, spring onions and various herbs. We tent to over plant by 50-100% so there's plenty of seedlings to give away to friends and family

Still have a few Hunter catapults myself as well as some Hunter handlines

Some wax is darker, the very yellow wax comes from the cappings and brace comb and is known as virgin wax. Also if wax is over heated it can go dark too.

Hi Harold, no I still haven't got one yet. I was very close to buying one at the bushcraft show but someone beat me to it. Is there something in my original post that you fancy trading with?

Simon, a bloke in the woods on YouTube done a video on this.

Ah that's fair enough, I just though I'd share some info I had from the state of the courier system at the mo. Hopefully everyone get's their items. I'm still waiting for stuff to be received/delivered myself from Christmas.

It may not be the sellers fault. I have a close friend who works for DPD and they're over run at the moment. They depot is full of crates of parcels, some having been sent at the beginning of the month. It's apparently caused by the royal mail strikes, christmas and people taking leave for...

That's very kind of you, I'll send you my details via PM

Just 2 or 3 please and yes just empty fired cases. Ideally .303 as it will match another item he has. Thanks for your replies.
