    Seax

    After a long time break from forging anything due to personal circumstances. I finally got round to finishing a seax I started in 2016. I decided to try Antler as a guard going into Iroko wood for the rest of the handle.

    Tent Stoves

    I’ll be bringing my Winnerwell to the meet if you want to take a look. I think I paid £140 for it a few years ago. Basically a frontier with a window.

    Coppicing advice

    The LandRover itch.. Do I scratch it?

    The jag engine still suffers the issue as a 3L. The issue being that it was designed from smaller lighter vehicles the torque that’s demanded by the auto box in a D3 D4 and the newer L405 Range Rover stresses the crank to the point of failure. I’ve also had jag XF with this engine and it was...

    Carrying knives to the woods - knife license...inevitably rambling onto American gun stuff

These...

    Clear Water, Clear Access Campaign

    Not a good idea. Maybe a passport system could work but not free access to everyone.
