    Spring has Sprung - 2024

    You wouldn't think that Spring was here, at all....far too many, dismal-looking folk wearing rain hats and wellies. Can't do anything in the garden, patchy grass already 15 cms tall. Shrubs all yet to be cut back Muddy earth, is like the bottom of a WW1 trench. Dreich all around, so it is...

    Spear shafts

    Slightly off topic, 'sure I read somewhere that, 'Acer' referred to spear shaft material. I've no idea of just how it was prepared. Perhaps some History Buffs might step in on this one. Regards All Ceeg

    Anyone have an Old Hickory belt knife

    Having previously been disenchanted with an OH job in 1075, I would tend toward the 7.7, in 1095 and chop it about to your own preference.....at only half the price, it's a no-brainer. But do flip-off the handle slabs, reshape 'em and then Araldite them back onto the handle, before...

'suppose they went the same way as the tinker/grinder, with his bicycle-driven Tomek wheel. regards...

    Knots - resources to learn?

    Start off with any of Des Pawson's publications, but focus ,initially, on the practical knots. I believe the best way to absorb any new knot, is to put aside a time slot and then blitz the thing by consecutively tying at least six times. Do try not to obscure the build up process, by making...

    Best Shemagh?

    I have two of these Hirbawi, the "Royal" and the B&W "Traditional" and they'e both a tad smaller than a 4 foot square. About £20 each, they don't need much looking after. Materials are 85% cotton, woven to provide a through-flow of air. they are streets ahead of the cheaper types, of which I...
