The kettle arrived yesterday, and looks to be a perfectly adequate piece of kit. One or two rough edges need fettling, but only five or ten minutes work. Nice shape, look forward to using it over an open fire. Leather gloves for pouring I think. Regards, Alan

Hi rik_uk3, How long did you have to wait for delivery? I ordered one because it said they were available in Venray, here in the Netherlands, but have been waiting a week, and usually stuff is delivered withn two days in country. I see that the seller is China Based, and suspect...

Apparently they are now listed under scrapers and miscellaneous knives. Regards, Alan

I have been watching your videos recently, and enjoying them immensely. Keep up the excellent work! Regards, Alan

I meant the old '37 pattern webbing. As invented by Lady Astor, who said the men had too much spare time. (old military saying). Regards, Alan

John Fenna, What about the old fashioned British Army canvas web belt from the old '37 pattern belt with the nice brass sliding trims next to the buckle. Would look very spiffy on a nice piece of thick leather. Regards Alan
