Made this from an empty 47kg propane cylinder. The chimney was a fireman's BA cylinder, left a slight radius on the very top. Makes for a brilliant shaped flame. Cheers. Oh and the tube underneath is a air feed, I can set up the air blower and easily forge. It also comes apart and I've a grill...

Used to be called a game keeper's gibbet. It was a way of showing the landowner that you were doing your job properly. Cheers Dave Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Just dug out my first knife, I was ten when I was given this by the old man. Its in the same condition and completely untouched. Look at the grind, imagine a kid on his dad's bench grinder sharpening this, lol. First thing we did at a Scout meeting, after all the faf, was to sharpen our knives...

I've got the 2nd one down. The green one, in good nick. Still can't imagine it's worth out, has been my go to gutting knife. Don't mind letting it go, we've had a good run. Let me know if you are interested. Cheers Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

I admit it's a bit fancy but, find something solid, take a nut, place on solid, smash with fancy nut cracker. Simples Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Was out lamping one night, leaning over the car bonnet, rifle on a bi-pod. As dark as it could be, me squeeking away. Andy had a red lamp out of the driver's window, my spider senses tingled, I lifted my head up off the stock and saw a pair of talons out stretched and coming straight for my...

Thanks, I thought it might have been mentioned, I did a search and nothing. It has its limitations, but how many people other than us, the military and ramblers no how to read a map. I think it's brilliant for the emergency services. Cheers Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Has anyone ever used this app? I've got the app on the phone and have used it a few times, mostly for fun and thankfully never in an emergency. This post is as much to make others aware of this feature, it's a phone app that uses 3 words to describe a 3 meter grid reference. It's very easy and a...

Grandad had a good method for killing mice and rats. Equal amount of castor sugar, plaster of Paris and a really good pinch of salt, mix dry. Then leave somewhere sheltered in a dish with a dish of water next to it. When I was a kid I went into the shed one day to find a mouse as hard as a rock...

There is someone on Edgematters with two Fehrman knives in 3v for sale, big knives. Not sure if I'd pry anything with it, but it looks like it would do it. https://edgematters.uk/thread/...rman-knives-3v-big-price-drop/ Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

I'm quite lucky to do work for an elderly couple who own a Manor house, in the vast gardens there's an Ilex oak. Quercus ilex, the evergreen oak, holly oak or holm oak, is a large evergreen oak native to the Mediterranean region. It takes its name from holm, an ancient name for holly. It is a...

The only time I've smoked my pipe, is when the cigar got so short I'd plug it into the pipe and keep smoking till it'd all gone. I was a lot younger then, I'm on the verge of giving up again. Gave up for 10 years. Cheers Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Clove oil works well to protect carbon blades, smells amazing and can be used to treat toothache (regular dental check ups work better for toothache) Cheers Dave Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk

Mmmmmm. I'm very partial to a smoke and a nice coffee. I can highly recommend Clubmaster pantella, amazing vanilla flavour. Struggling to afford them now, so only break one out on special occasions, usually when I'm fishing is nice. Cheers Dave Sent from my FIG-LX1 using Tapatalk
