    No point in inventing another word for it when you got it right in the first place! Much better to put effort into figuring out a new activity to make up a word for. And if you do come up with something - I don't want to know.

    Simple drawing software for making DWG files

    Draftsight is free and though it looks complicated, the basic 2D features you need are very easy to master. I don't know what you are drawing but you probably only need to learn a handful of commands. If you find a simpler package than Draftsight you will still have to learn the same commands...

    Tracking a bicycle...

    Too lean the bike to the left, you turn the bars to the right to move the bike out from underneath you. Once you are leaning (toppling) to the left you then turn the bars to the left to keep the bike underneath you so you don't fall over. This is something we all do naturally without even...

    Re handling, how do I start?

    If you cant get them off easily try drilling a couple of holes in the scales, down to the tang and screwing in some self tappers (grind the tips off first) You can then tighten them against the tang. This might just pop the scales off cold or help them come off when you boil them.

    Making multiples

    You can (obviously) save a lot of time making in a batch but it is also possible if you are not careful to make the same mistake on every knife before you realise. If you are not sure of your design or construction, do a one off first or at least make a model and check the ergo's Sit down and...
