In addition to space and noise, I would consider dust, waste, material availability and final use. Carving can produce a lot of shavings which can be annoying to manage and hard to dispose of from a flat. Leatherwork is a good one, but don’t just think of sheaths and belt pouches. People do...

I could be wrong but I think some of the problems described with the DD hammock stem from its lack of a structural ridgeline. Also, I always see DDs at a very flat pitch, while the standard advice for hammock sag is 30 degrees. Sorry, not used a DD myself. Hennessy Exped gen1, WoodsmanX...

I wish you all the luck in the world for your search, but I am not optimistic that all your criteria can be met. I fear it’s a case of “no free lunch”. “Cheap. Quick. Good. You can pick any two.” How long do you have available to spend on the search for the ideal boot? Jungles boots are...

Oh, I know that too! I often do not like progress for its own sake and I am a great advocate for not re-inventing wheels....but wheels have been getting improved since the first ones were carved from stone! Just imagine where we would be if it was decided not to pursue that crazy fad for...

On the subject of "if this is what the old timers did, why don't we still?" There is an element of doing new things because of marketing, but there was marketing in the 1800s too...and probably before! So just because something was done in the past it does not automatically mean it was the...

I generally do not like AI generate content, but recently saw a vidoe on Youtube called BBC Shanty that had an AI video going along with it. The AI images were odd in places, but the tune did make me laugh. I don't post here because it could be considered political...so if you are offended at...

Anyone who met Mors would know he was not a man to follow trends, be led by fads or their recent proponents. Nor would they describe the Alberta farm lad as “urban”. Agree the examples are cherry picked. Personally I detest arguments that stand on the shoulders of “wisdom of our ancestors”...

There are also lots of adhesive remover fluids. I use GooGone, but also industrial version by Ambersil. I find it so useful to have a special remover that I would not be without it. Interesting thing. A few years back when we had those really hot couple of weeks in the summer, I used masking...

Bing….bing….bing….bing….bing….bing….arrrrgh!

...but you are right, unless he has turned on email notifications, you will have to wait till he is back on the forum for him to see the new post notification.

Changed the thread heading to Sold so as to not excite other keen wood workers!

Hello @laverbreadhead , I have flagged this for Admin attention. Someone else PMed me that they had paid on the 8th, Saturday, and the membership hadn’t gone though on the forum. Thanks for raising it. Sorry it hasn’t been seamless, it usually is. All the best Chris

@HillBill , how about a suggestion of a knife that might fit the bill for Forest Fella’s friend?

Let’s not do the legal interpretation debate again, please.:deadhorse: By this point there is so much already written that it’s just repetitive, and most times folk just spiral into arguments.

When he and you say "UK Legal", do you mean "folding pocket knife with cutting edge of 3 inches or less" for which no "good reason" is required for carrying everyday, where ever...

I have used gaiters, but find them too warm in warmer weather. I have used elastic cords, and even have some sewn in to some hems. Not in the military. I was shown by an enforces chap as a way to keep crawlies out and keep trousers from flapping around. With short boots, the elastic means a...

Photos? What size? Price includes postage?

Moved to edged tools classifieds. Will probably do better with some pictures. Try https://imgbb.com/ if cannot attach directly (which I though was possible with a sales membership) Also remember over 18s only and age verification. Default is that prices shown on forum that do not mention...

Yup, needs updating to show postage.
