Cool, looks like an excellent weekend, I am sure that Sam really appreicates it :D

Sounds like it will be a good one. You'll have to let us know what it was like. :)

I get a similar reaction when it comes to both axes and knives. I normally get the "You've only got two hands." comment as well.

I like the idea of a later Moot, with work and my current schedule getting to the bushmoot at it's current timing is impossible for me. I would like to say that I like the idea of spring, but this has similar issues for me as I have work booked for Easter as a standard thing. It is also in...

Internet sourced I use Diamond Greenlight strike anywhere matches, they are longer than the standard match and they are slightly thicker. They also require 3mm cutting of each one to fit into a standard K&M Matchcase. If I can't get those then I go for Swan Vesta.

Fair play, it takes a lot of guts to take the gamble, good luck and I hope it works out for you. :)

That's lovely Rich, keep it up :)

I am a big fan of hawks and like many other here I would like to know rough sort of costs, especially for the second one down :D

For anyone interested, I have one of these knives in this steel. Marks work is very good, the edge retention on the knife is excellent as is the grind. After six weeks of teaching carving and general abuse I have finally put it onto a stone, nothing drastic only a 6000 grit waterstone just to...

That would have been one of the early Gatherings and yes Jack really knew his stuff.

Nice work Andy. :)

Okay, so you've got a coal from this set once before, could moisture have entered into the hearth at all? Did the wood seem denser or softer than when you tried before, could the grain be tighter packed in this area than on the last hole drilled? What type of wood are you using for the Hearth...

Hi Chris welcome to the forums. You can't get a lot of time with Graphic design, being a paramedic and doing mobile device repair as well. Respect for the paramedic side of life, it's not the easiest job in the world.

Nice looking hawk there mate. Now lets get onto the real stuff, what's it throw like? :D

There has been a strong association with tools and weaponry throughout the years. Change of use inspired development, and axes become battle axes, Hammers become War Hammers, rice flail become Nunchaku, Kama (japanese sickle) became kusarigama and there are many more examples of this are out...

I don't send through royal mail a lot of the time especially when it's a weighty item like an axe or axes. I use a courier, it tends to be cheaper and faster. Incidentally I travel a lot by train and whilst doing so I was stopped by one of the train gaurds as I was getting off the train to be...

I don't know too much about tomatoes, but chilli's have a similar taste (they like the same type of fertiliser), I use Potassium Nitrate / Salt Petre that's been used for making slow matches in solution as a fertiliser to be added to the chilli's water. Don't overdo it when adding solution to...

No problems Rich.

That seems to have done the Job :)

Pat, you once complemented me on my leatherwork (It was at the wilderness gathering). I would like to complement you on being an artisan, that's stunning work.
