Ps, you will need the inner and outer caps for the burner.

Bargain ! A number 1or 5 ? Any numbers underneath? Give it a good wash then clean with Autosol metal polish. Don’t use Brasso or similar as it takes the zinc out of the brass.

@ Broch , I would not use an awl on soft leather either, I was answering the post that said use a fork . Beside being a sailmaker I also am a saddler.

Further to the suggestion about using a fork , you might find the resulting holes a bit large. Useful for the spacing measurement though. Probably a bit far apart on soft leather.You can make an awl by fixing a nail into a wooden dowel. Sharpen the nail into a diamond shape . Saddle stitching...

Also a family owned business , Barchams in Whitstable have looked after my industrial and home machines for ages.

I have one of the ones that have a popper belt closure . I did not trust it so punched a couple of holes either side and sewed it closed

I don’t think they dry clean sleeping bags or duvets any more, that’s what my local cleaners said, the fumes from the ‘ perk ‘ they use are poisonous.

You need 2 pairs of pliers, don’t try and make the gap in the D ring larger by pulling it apart but get the pliers on each end of the flat side and twist one left and the other right so you get a suitable gap to slide it on. Then just pinch it back together by reversing the process. That’s how...

I have a Howling Moon awning that I use with or without the side panels depending on the weather. Have a Genyk/ Hago/beanstalk kitchen unit . 3 fold flat wire shelves with a stove windshield on the top shelf. Stoves vary , Tilley twosome, Coleman gas, Primus, and others. The butane only freezes...

Hi, could I have the Turm stove please.

Hi Magikelly , yes I am that one. Think we are on the way to being sorted now. Thanks

I have been on there a number of years but now can’t get into it either.

@Sundowner , I think we must be talking about different tent flaps. The one I have seen has a rain flap you roll up , poke the chimney through the under canvas/silicone to use, then when you are not using the stove you roll it down to seal the hole.

I am a sailmaker..... The canvas one I have nearly decided on has silicone I can’t do links but if you search for ‘stove jack with canvas edging ‘ on eBay you will see which one I mean.

I have the same dilemma at the moment, putting my stove in my awning of my trailer. Don’t want to cut a hole in the awning so will probably build my own back wall and cut a hole in that. Don’t really want one of the metal and silicone bulky pipe fitting things , anywhere from £16 to £35. Army...

Have a look at the Kampa brean tents, a couple of friends have them for canoe base camp tents. Has a good porch design as it has an ‘eyebrow ‘ to keep the rain from drowning the porch with the door open, plenty of room for a table to cook on and space to sit. They have the size 3 which I was...

The easiest way is to sew a ‘stop’ across the zip. Just oversew a few stitches across it. Toddy posted while I was typing

I can send you some spinnaker nylon and some double sided tape .

Nice stove. Don't use wire wool or Brasso- bad for the metal apparently. A soft cloth and Autosol will work and is recommended .

If you have some chamois leather use a strip of that to replace the elastic. We use it in Australian hats, stops it leaving your head when it’s windy. If really windy damp the leather a bit then jam it on your head. If you need to take up more ‘space’ wrap the leather round a tape and sew that in.
