You never banjaxxed it at all my friend. The only criticism anyone could level at you is that you were keen to see the thread move on - which is no criticism at all. Personally I'm guilty of a far greater sin - acquiring another camo jacket and hoping the missus isn't home when it arrives. Now...

Cheers Sunndog

Glad to hear it - quick for 2nd class post. Haven't got mine - Hammock man has gone quiet.

That's very generous John. Thanks. Is there anything you are after that I might be able to help with? I'm still interested in hearing about how others source/scavenge/repurpose brass.

Hi all Any hints on where to get cheap brass, or brass that can be repurposed? I want a piece 70mmx20mmx10mm and I don't want to buy a piece of bar stock. I'm betting someone on here has the answer. Thanks

Went in the post today chap.

Done I don't think you need to. We are waiting for mikehill to put up something in return for the tracking book. I got the impression Vaughn was just giving away stuff. I may be wrong - I have been out digging in the baking sun - not the best idea I've ever had.

Ok so in exchange for the jacket I've got Animal Tracks & Signs - Preben Bang & Preben Dahlstrom (Oxford 2004) This isn't my one, but it has the same cover (i haven't time to organise a pic this morning), my one is in really good nick...

Totally agree. Happy to take the jacket, to keep the thread moving forward - if folks are happy with that.

Hi all We have a leather sofa. It's very much of the lived in/distressed variety. One of the cushions has developed a wear hole along a crease. The leather around it is still quite thick so I think if I glue a leather patch to the reverse it will all be fine and will stop the hole getting...

Absolute belter of a GIOT gift. Hopefully the quid pro quo will reflect that.

Amazed that's not gone - bump

They don't work on fleas in my experience - see my prev post on this thread.

When our cat got fleas we got some stuff from the vets to spray the house carpets, because we got the fleas off the cat, but the buggers were indoors and kept appearing - it nixed them straight away - that should do the biz on the tent. BTW you can buyt similar products from pet...

- with trade value - and pics

Gotcha. I was imagining some kind of cow hitch thing, but now totally understand. Ta

I've got a Spear & Jackson pair. Similarly useful. Quite old now - not sure if still available.

I'm struggling to picture that. Could you explain it for the cerebrally challenged (me)?

Where from?

So I bought one of these. I know you like yours, but, sorry, it is really horrible. Really heavy for not many tools. The file blade just fell out when I opened it - I can't work out how it is actually supposed to stay in so I think a washer/clip is missing. The saw blade is marginally...
