Hmm, did you read the actual text or just the head line? I cut, skinned and took out the guts, I didn't manually make mince. Sure, I probably got some disgusting fluids, blood and fat but not meat between the liners and spring. I wash up my knives in hot (not teepid but hot, i.e. 65-70 degrees...

Disclaimer: This is going to be a long post. It´s also the first post for me in quite some time so I have a huge back log of stuff I want to say. Sorry! Also, I'm not a native english speaker. Introduction: Just the other day it was finally time for that terrible but also fulfilling (and larder...

Most german and austrian makers have similar models. I.e. traditional alpine walking boots. Some are heavier than others though, meindl perfekt are made for fixed crampons etc. What I wonder if it's a genuine norweigan welt or if it's a mock-up? Anybody know? Compared to the glue jobs that are...

Moose bull milk, for your health! (Makes lumpy tea though!)

No you are not sir. The moose cow has a completely different facial expression when milked. Sort of "what the h3ll are you doing?!".

To be completely honest, it is a few gems in there. I'm gonna try to get a few pics of it.

As today I will celebrate my 10 year anniversare of being a member of this site I am holding a small photo competition. I will be the sole judge of it all. There will be prizes for 1st and 2nd place. There will also be a small prize to the worst entry. The prizes might or might not be presented...

I agree that john james needles are second to none. However, when I made a few pairs of boots a few years ago I used bristles instead of needles. After getting over that awkward step of learning how to 'thread' them I could sew using smaller holes which is to my eyes more neat. Although in...

Hello. I am back in sweden so I'm out in the woods with horse or hound everyday. :)

Right. That's a good suggestion. Hmm, got to put on my thinking cap for that one.

I don't have so much kit actually. Haven't bought anything the last 5-6 years, only made stuff myself. Which is sort of the whole idea I guess. :)

Aye, that's not a bad idea actually.

My BCUK 10 years anniversary is coming up. How should I celebrate it?

I started out in heavy sewing, am a coatmaker by trade now. And I can assure you I've never ever met a woman machinist in either heavy sewing or bespoke tailoring. But I always get some jokes about sewing being a feminine job.. Weird, ain't it?

No requirement with the vat, but trade suppliers usually want one to sell at trade prices. I'm not going to Glasgow anytime soon to be honest but if you want to act as a proxy that'd be cool. What size and colours did he have?

Not bad, but need both sizes and 5000 might be a push. Acetal sounds cheap but hey if it's milspecitshould fit the bill.Care to split a box?

Alright, where can I find natobuttons in bulk? Not pallets but at least hundreds.. Only found them at asmc.de in packets of ten at a prize that would ruin me. Need a proper supplie, got vat no etc..

You can fell it on. Use 70's thread at least. Preferably 50's.

Try RIT-dye instead. It dyes poly as well as cotton. A mixed fabric is tugher because of the different chemicals used in the dye bath and to set the bath. But it's better than dylon. Good luck.

So you mean I have no right to be curious?
