I have just had a play with a Letherman and if anything it rattles about a bit.

My hand is about average size, so it’s fairly chunky. I thought that would give a fairly good indication of scale. ;-)

How about this?

Double post.

I’ll be putting some options up later today, so keep your eyes peeled.

Ooo, I wouldn’t mind the pudding steamer.

Yes, using a good thick wick means you only need one.

When I worked in an office a colleague used to design amazing puzzles. Every Christmas Eve we would get to the office and there would be a gold envelope with a clue on the notice board. We would then have to solve a series of puzzles and challenges, including solving riddles to locate keys to...

We had planned to sell them, but we hadn’t realised how much wax each would take to make. With the amount of wax required, they work out at about £27 (that’s almost at cost to us) so I don’t think there will be much demand, though perhaps we will be able to sell a few around halloween. (The...

Yes, a silicone mould. It wasn’t cheap, probably about £100 for that one. I usually make my own, but I didn’t know anyone with a good quality human skull that I could make one from!

They really do! As you can imagine, we use a lot of beeswax candles. They smell so much nicer than their fake scented counterparts.

As some of you may know, I’m a commercial beekeeper in the North West. We make a lot of candles with our beeswax, but I thought I would share our latest beeswax creation. Each candle is made from over 1.3 kilograms of pure beeswax. They are just slightly smaller than the average human skull!

I find anything like this annoying. I always feel likes it’s an attempt to stamp ourselves on the world, trying to keep some kind of legacy alive. I’m planning to be put in a mushroom suit and chucked in a hole in the ground. I’ll let the fungi be my place marker.

Fantastic. I keep meaning to have a go. This has inspired me to get going.

Ok folks, I know how beardie a lot of you are, so I’m going to offer a mystery box of shaving goodies.

Have a wonderful birthday! I do think that it’s really important to define what success means to you. Often we spend life pursuing the wrong things (jobs, money, status) and end up so far down the rabbit hole it can be hard to get back out. As I have said in other threads, I was fortunate to...

I’m signing-up this year. Is anyone else planning on investing in improving their ID skills?

I think this is a really good idea. I would definitely like to be involved. I also have plenty of beeswax, so would happily send some out if required for an activity.
