    Wanted .20 cal air pistol

    Looking for a 2nd hand air pistol or compact air rifle in .20 calibre. Ideally something like a Crosman ratcatcher with a takedown stock as it’s for controlling rats. Come to the conclusion I like .20 as a pest control round so want to get another one. Budget is minimal, so 2nd hand is the only...

    Sold Tyvek by DuPont

    I have a couple of pretty big pieces of Tyvek left after a project which might be useful for the ultralight makers on this forum. Tyvek is a weatherproof membrane used in the building trade to seal roves & walls before cladding. Amazing stuff. Almost impossible to tear but can be cut with a...

    Sold DD XL Tarp

    I’m not sure if this is the lightweight version or not as it has lost its bag & pins, guys etc before I got it. No holes, all the loops in place and reinforced. It’s in very good condition but too big for my current needs so I’m moving it on. £35 tyd. Offers via DM will be considered. Not really...

    Sold Rab Rock & Run Down bag.

    Very little used Rock & Run Down sleeping bag made by Rab. This was a spare bag for when it was too warm for my North Face one but in fact has only been slept in half a dozen times and always with a liner. Usual top quality construction from Rab, with thoughtful touches like a down filled...

    Cumbria Spoon group anyone?

    I’m getting back into carving some spoons but I always lose momentum after a while when working on my own. Does anyone else in South Cumbria or North Lancs want to help set up a small informal spoon carving group? Potentially there’s a suitable venue in Windermere if you’re interested. It would...

    Sold Ben Orford Field Knife. Final reduction.

    Ben Orford Field knife with leather magnetic neck sheath on paracord. Very little used as the antler tine is just too small for my big paws. The blade is spot on. Very sharp & holds the edge well. Rounded back on the blade so better for whittling etc I think. This would make a great Christmas...

    Sweet little Fox neck knife in good order. Nice & sharp & textured Micarta handle with fitted kydex sheath & the chain it came with. I’ve got the box for it too.

    Compass question.

    Inherited this compass when my Dad passed so there’s a certain amount of sentiment attached & I’d like to be able to use it. The bubble has got bigger over the last few years & I’m wondering if it can be refilled & resealed at all? Anyone know? My Dad taught me to use a map & compass & I must...

    Blade ID help please!

    Hi all. Going through my carving kit as I’m going to start again ( again!) with doing some spoons so thought I should give them all a quick strop & check over. I’d forgotten all about this very tight curve blade I bought quite a while ago. I obviously don’t need it as I never bothered to put a...

    Knife making Tuition?

Now I want to do one or ideally two kitchen knives for myself in high carbon steel & use some Jabroc for the handles. It’s a six-eight hour drive...

    Back on the tools

    Big thanks to Kepis for posting a willow spoon earlier in the week. Our willow lost a branch a while ago in the storms and I got inspired to go and cut a few pieces to carve. I have some lovely knives, but haven’t used them for ages so apologies to Ben Orford, Nic Westerman & Alf Branch for...

    Ray Mears W/S woodlore

    I have come to the painful conclusion that I need a new engine for my van more than I need my W/S woodlore. I had the original Alan Wood version too at one time, but let it go instead of the Wilkinson Sword because I prefer the weight & feel of the Micarta. I haven’t seen one for sale for a...

    Air Rifles & CO2 pistol

    Seeking a bit of advice from the group. I’m downsizing hugely & amongst the things which will be going are the air guns I inherited from my brother. I was always planning to join an HFT club & use them but nearest one is a long way away now & I have never got around to it. What I have is a Logun...
