I recently took delivery of a pair of Mesquite's trench candles for UCO's and thought I'd share a short review and my thoughts on them. They arrived well packed and promptly, but it took a few days for good quality lamp oil to arrive, and I wanted to use and re-use a few times before posting...

Just testing the waters here, so to speak. I have a collection of about fourteen guitars, mostly electric but a few acoustics as well. They are all decent quality, in very good condition and well set up having been meticulously kept and played mostly at home, so not gigged-out workhorses. I play...

Lovely little video without music or speech.......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JKhhtoe9v4

Anybody have/had one of these? Ownership experience?

Came across this by chance and thought it we interest some here, as I know there are some with more than a passing interest in these things; Wayland made a set recently so here's another take on it.

Just spotted this on BBC website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-45446868

Stumbled upon this just now, a nice short and clear introduction to stoves for the hills, woods and dales. I thought this would be good for those less experienced than others, or those wanting to break out of a 'stove rut' and play with something different.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Rest in peace Aretha Franklin; a woman of power in more ways than one.

I watched this yesterday and again this morning, and it's had me thinking hard about a dilemna that I think may not be mine alone. I'll be 68 in a week or so and I'm quite happy with things in general, I'm just now beginning to have the time to myself to enjoy doing all the things that most folk...

Just stumbled upon this which I thought looks a really good bit of kit that might interest one of the metalworkers in the Southern part of the country; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alldays-and-Onion-Blacksmiths-Forge-1910/332628839656?hash=item4d72394ce8:g:D~0AAOSwKPxa3H~V

I'm looking at buying one of these used, and wondering if anybody here has any experience of them?

Here's a nicely put together little film, well worth a gander.............

A nice little clip from the BBC website this morning; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-42810612/edible-bandages-for-bears-burnt-paws Sorry, it won't embed.

Here's a nice short film about growing and processing flax into linen. Easy enough in principal, but you can just imagine the back-breaking labour of it on a large scale, back in the day.

Just had a half-hour wander through the new site without any glitches, I guess it'll become familiar in a very short time; so far so good :)

I bought the Amok here some time ago, and then went and bought the best of the recommended sleep mats to suit it, all some time ago. At the same time I was building my new workshop in the garden and very seriously underestimated the amounts of both time and money that this would take. I haven't...

Another lovely short film from the excellent Mr. Chickadee :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x8vIzXN_X8

Many happy returns of the day, Mary, I hope you get spoiled rotten :)
