I frequent a few FB groups. The downside is that the posts and photos just keep going past like prizes on the Generation Game conveyor belt. The bigger and more active the group, the faster the conveyor belt runs. Finding something that you saw yesterday is difficult: From last week? Impossible...

Excellent! I might have to have a go at one of those. I am wondering about adding a small hole in the bung so it can be attached to the body with a small piece of cord. Z

I have ditched Tapatalk altogether on Tony's advice. The mobile site is now much better. I never forgave them for downgrading my app when I had already paid to go ad free. Z

This one? https://bushcraftuk.com/community/index.php?threads/hunting-shirt.51677/ Z

I think my favourite thread ever was this one: https://bushcraftuk.com/community/index.php?threads/snowball-soup-and-other-interesting-recipies.88501/ Wayland is someone who I have learnt a lot from over the years, and his threads have always been accompanied by astonishing photographs. This...

Ah yes. That's obviously seen some over vigorous use. Z

Thermos King: I have had water stay hot enough for coffee for about 28 hours. Z

I have an old Kent pattern with a twist. It actually makes it a bit "right-handed". Z

I recently learnt about PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). The world is just waking up to the fact that we have been spreading these practically indestructible substances around the planet and they are toxic to us. (Anyone remember Scotchguard?) If you are standing in the rain in your...

There's a lot of axes that can be re-sharpened to make them into carving axes. The old Kent pattern ones are great and can be picked up for a song. Few axes are ready for carving when you get them - I.e. razor sharp with long straight bevels. Most of those are quite pricey like the GB ones...

Looks like it could make a blade protector for a bowl adze in no time. Z

Not birch polypore, although I can see some resemblance. This thing has all the structural rigidity of a soufflé. Z

I made this from one of these logs some time back: It proved to be just too absorbent for fluids. Then I used it for red wine and it ended up kind of pink! Z

Yep. These logs ended up underneath a bit of malfunctioning guttering. I'm going to watch this and see how it develops. Z

A new one for me this. I was walking past the log pile and thought "Hello, who's squirted a blob of foam sealant onto that log?" I poked it. You can see my finger mark. It was very soft . I think I have identified it now, but do you know what it is? Z

A beauty. Interesting to see what the little fuel bottle was like. If I had the cash I would buy that just to gaze at it! Z

Done. How is it that they can get planning permission to build these when a private individual couldn't even get permission for a shed? Z

Most excellent. I really love the kettle. Z

Nice job. I think my old Escort was that colour. Z
