    In Praise of the Svord Mini

    No idea these days. Weirdly, it used to be a stainless blade with wood handle and carbon blade with plastic handle.

    In Praise of the Svord Mini

    I haven't got that far yet! Just resketching the profile. The last one I did was Burr Elm. I need to have a look through the large piles of wood that I have. Too many options!! I probably need to do a fast decision rather than get too much out to choose from.

    Stew's Works in Progress!

    The rest of the handle will be this cracking block of stabilised Alder. I’ll probably play around with a spacer between the brass and alder - bit of g10 - black, red, orange! I’ll see what looks good in contrast.

    Alone (UK) TV series. What ten items would you choose?

    After the first UK series I did consider applying for the next before it got cancelled. My wife was not impressed with the idea of an unknown time of being away.

    Brain Training

    No but we have talked baout it. It's not one we've played for a while but my son likes to use the beetle to drop on a gap at the end. The add on piece of the pillbug (woodlouse) could be good to counter that.

    I like hive. The variety to it is good. Do you just use the standard pieces or do you have any add ons?

    I have a craghoppers uv shirt too - double folded collar for extra neck protection if needed. Clever idea

    Compact emergency food supply.

    I've just bought a bunch for an event on Saturday. They do work well. Also found some from the same event last year, still in date - they store for a good length of time!

    I have no definite idea and just skimming past but I wonder if drysuit repair tape would work. My dry suit is not breathable but I know people who have breathable versions. I expect the tape is the same for both.

    Any idea what it is?

    That's cool. Do you crack them open or cut them?
