I'd give it my best. Woudl want a cabingirl for comany though...

How long before their numbers are sufficient to make dirty jokes out of them?

The thing you need to appreciate with scrap metal of any sort is that, short of a professional analysis for each individual piece, you won't know with any certainty what it is. Sure there is a lot of scope for some basic tests (spark, heat-treat, feel under the hammer etc.), visual inspection...

If you're removing turf anyway you might as well go for a full-on ground-forge. It's period-correct for most periods, works surprisingly well and is free.

I use a stick.

Unfortunately not. The compnay of which I am thinking named eash product in its range with an actual name -- 'Bob' for instance. Thanks anyway!

Evenin all. A while back there was a link posted on here to a British manufacturer of high quality, high-priced canvas and/or wax-cotton luggage. There were wash-rolls, overnight bags etc., and they were all named 'Dave', 'Fred' etc. I've been tryign to find them again but to no avail. Anyone...

Could you not cut a piece of something to precisely fit the 'hole' in the middle of the handle, of a similar thicknes to the knife, glue in place, and drill a hole in that for the pivot?

Not wrong there mate! Do you think if Nitrambur finds her boots, I could have the rest of her?

It's quite sturdy and inexpensive, but I find that the enormous capacity is rather tempting to fill, and that's not what I like doing. Mine hasn't been out from under the bed in about 9 months. It's a little short for most people since it's designed to fit over webbing. Not many fancy gubbins...

Some sort of clever, ear-plugging device seems in order...

Tried any Frost/Mora knives? Lot of knife for your money, typically £2.50-£20 depending on model. Very well respected.

If you were to find a rod of metal roughly the right dimensions, you could mark the (mirrored) design onto the end with a permanent pen. Then remove everything that isn't part of the design. If you're clever with the design you should be able to do it with a basic set of warding files (about...

Ain't wrong there. Was a good balance over the weekend down near Bude; warm, sometimes damp at night but not too hot. Still managed to get a little pinkish though...

Alternating sunny and bucketing, with emphasis on the overcast.

Second-hand Filson, Woolrich and Pendleton.

That's been cut from a piece of rail or possibly I-beam. 2" thick mild steel plate would be miles better.

What makes you think they would have done anything differently?
