I used to mutter about not being able to work with wood. I used to think that as a Metal botherer I lacked the different mindset needed for wood. Generally you can beat a price of metal into submission but wood requires a more collaborative approach in my opinion. Anyway, a few projects ago I...

I still pop my head in but rarely post these days so mea culpa. Over the last twenty years my fitness has declined somewhat. I don’t get out as much as I used to and the nature of my interest in camping has changed as well. My photography has become more studio based so not out in the...

We do try...

It is nice to see that someone took some video of the camp around lighting up time. I always think that is the best time to see it really. Link Here.

Mine are available here: Steamtent Co-operative at the Bushmoot. Let me know if you want any of them and I'll send you clean copies.

We have some very interesting tubular lanterns now. Hot Blast and Cold Blast, American, French, German, Chinese, Czech and even a few British lanterns. ( And Steve has just added a Polish one and I've picked up a Canadian one too. )

Aye, but some interesting ones...

Steve and I will be heading up the Steamtent corner with a few other members again. Hoping to have a larger sheltered area around the fire rig this year and even more lanterns. We'll be running a couple of simple workshops too but mostly just chilling out with fellow craft workers of all...

Thanks for that but I have what I need now.

Great event again and much easier for us Northerners to get to. Thanks to you and the team for your hard work.

Image too big apparently...

On a less formal basis, there are usually crafty things happening around the Steam Tent corner. We think of them as “Craft Jams” where people just sit and work on whatever they are up to or into, in a generally creative social group. I have a few jobs I will be working on, I think Aaron will...

Some parts of the site are better than others. It’s time to see who knows the old school tricks of choosing a good pitch…

I did light in the 80s / 90s and early 00s, although re-enactment started pointing me in a different direction. These days I just prefer a bit more comfort and a lot more toys.

Van is packed now all but the food. That is going to have to sit on the passenger seat, I’m not going lightweight this time…
