    Help required identifying this old Daniel Silcock tool

    I’d tend to agree with Longstrider. It looks like something used for cutting turf or sod to me. Sharpened along two edges for chopping and slicing into the turf and through any roots etc and big and flat for shovelling it about.

    New member- bushcraft qualification advice?

    This was the next thing I was going to point out. I’m not sure what qualifies an individual to build a course for NCFE or what hoops you’d need to jump though etc to become a course provider. But perhaps this is something you could do and build your own courses?

    New member- bushcraft qualification advice?

    Im with Greg on this one. There are far too many folk now putting themselves on pedestals who have little or no prior experience and are very good at marketing. I would also like to point out that those NCFE “instructor courses” focus only on personal skills. There’s no framework for teaching...

    CB

    Check the rating if the fuse on your 12v socket and the rating of the power draw on the appliance. For example: If the fuse is a 15amp but the cb drawers 20amp it will just keep blowing fuses. If it’s the other way round then it’s probably a good idea to add an inline fuse too to save you...

    No Mow May

    Honestly the amount of worm castings that come up through my lawn don’t doubt they’re busy! Also plenty of bees around in the scruffy bits and the flower beds we have filled with perennials. My lawn routines may have been thwarted somewhat now though as I have just found out that the...

    No Mow May

    I think there’s a significant difference between a conventional lawn, and an area of long grass that contains wildflowers or other plants. Im quite fastidious about my lawn, I mow weekly, feed, aerate and seed throughout the season. I like a good lawn, and having a small garden it provides...

    Crossbow and broadhead sales ban and crossbow licensing one step closer.

    I think there’s something people keep forgetting though. If I have my driving licence taken away, it’s still possible for me to purchase a car, tax and insure it and continue driving. If that would be the same for an FAC then it’s almost impossible for me to get hold of a firearm. Surely when...

    Fuel Shortages

    What doesn’t make sense is our fuel comes from Norway and the US. I don’t see how the global market can really be that volatile. :dunno:

    What has happened to Etsy?

    I stepped away from them a couple of years ago now. They were really bad at hiding things and making things difficult for example payments made defaulted to monthly and to change that was a pain. They also kept increasing their cut of your sales and there’s a charge for keeping a shop on their...

    They posted on Facebook a couple of weeks ago that they will not be going ahead with this show until 2027.

    Ancestry DNA

    Could it have something to do with genetics skipping a generation? In the same way twins or those with red hair can. Hmmm..
