lol, I got my Stu Barker out and gave it a clean and wax... I actually think I have another somewhere... And this is exactly why I don't need to buy any more!

Phew, was wavering there.. Always fancied one of these fellas but don't really need it... Great wee knives!

We did a this is your life type thing for my mum, red folder with her history in it and encouraged her to tell some stories and add some colour to things, seemed to go well HTH

Without a driver or house to park outside......

Lol, car ownership was very very middle class up until about the 60s, that's why houses built before then don't have cars in mind, in fact they weren't even considered. The working class were supposed to walk to the mine and back again. We have rows of cottages up here that don't even have...

+1 to that, got Apache Stu to source and put ash on my Venture, sounds blokes! Happy paddling!

You thinking of a havelock? WW2 Japanese were fond of these 'neck curtains' I just have an old, beat up, US boonie hat, comes plenty size choices but tbh it's down to your own preference.

14 foot is a little too small for being 2 up, depending on the size of the two. Once I get my lunch etc in there it'd definitely be too small!! My lad and I are 6 footers and our 15 foot works well. The old canoe adage is you can have lightweight, carrying capacity and toughness, pick any 2...

Manufacturing companies make... money... Tax to pay for all things the government needs, NHS staff, new ventilators, pensions.... We are all to some extent key members of the workforce. The gov't knows that manufacturing is still going on and you were told you could travel to and from work (if...

I did a search for workzone table saw manual and found a manual on a website called manualslib. It may or may not be the same saw and it may or may not have good instructions on how to set it up but the manuals I have for other stuff was pretty good. HTH Alan

WG you would do well to run with the premise that everything politicians say is a lie distorted truth, you won't be often disappointed

I think they are weighing up the panic or issues a lockdown will create against 'managing' the outbreak and the issues that would create. Money is and probably should be the no 1 issue. and when we say money we mean the impact to the economy. This pays for the NHS, state pensions, flood...

Yeah you did Mick, about 2008/2009 something like that. Was before you started marking them with B's although got a mini with a B on too for my archery knife. Think I miss your stuff and Stu Barkers stuff the most, you were the two guys who most inspired me to try and do some handling of...

Looks fine to me! I prefer the nessmuk or Cliff Jacobson but you pays your money... ;)

There should be no issues drinking from the tap, the OP was talking about drinking from sources outdoors. Bit of a zombie resurrection fella

My most used bushy style knives, love them, not too thick, not too thin, just right! ;)

I have a few... Bit of a fan of canvas.. Jings just realized they are not all there.... Anyways; Why you should: They look cool especially in a canoe ;) They are pretty much indestructible, very repairable and modifiable and should last a very very long time. Fairly weather proof...

Ally canoes get a good rep https://www.bergans.com/en/gear/ally-canoe

My wife has had one of these and had her battery done 3 times. They are expecting to be lured in and then lose the receipt etc but they underestimated her innate eye for a bargain. Her battery lasts about 3 years or so. Depends on battery life and how determined you are to get your moneys worth.

+1 for Broch's post. However I've successfully retrofitted one by cutting it on the flat of the D with a dremel and circular cutting disk. As Broch says it was a bu99er to bend it open and closed but it was pretty strong and it didn't seem in any danger of giving way.
