I mark the lines out with a pair of oddlegs and then use a protractor to check the angle. No jig to file the bevels though, all done by hand and eye.

A neighbour found some huge 'cat like' paw prints in her garden last winter.

Cromwells or Phoenix Steels Both have good stocks. Cromwells you can order from the interwebs though.

Just going on past experience, I had to chuck a tin of Linseed because quite frankly, it stank to high heaven. Never had that problem with Tung oil.

I like Tung oil, it doesn't go rancid like Linseed can.

I plan to make one similar to the one here

Seems to be better than the last few series where he was up himself a little too much. More like the original River Cottage series.

I simply refuse to pay the rip-off UK prices for multi-tools. Leatherman, for instance, recently closed the door to UKers buying their stuff from the US and making massive savings.

I have seen most of his dvds and think they are well worth watching.

Shouldn't you have all replied "I am Spartacus!" ??? :)

I made knives when I was a young apprentice (engineer not jedi :) ) and I am giving it a go again after all these years. :)

That million dollar prize has been available for a good while yet remains unclaimed. I wonder why? :)

Indeed, but they only said that after they had attempted to find it. :)

Richard Dawkins had a bit on one of his programmes (probably on youtube) about dowsing. Basically they did a blind test to see if the dowsers could do what they claimed, unsurprisingly they couldn't. I rank it alongside horoscopes and other airy fairy nonsense. Fine for a bit of fun but I...

I have a Super Swede and a 30 odd year old Big Swede, they are both very nice knives.

By all accounts he is a nice guy with a lot of interesting things to say. His television programmes are well put together (depsite all the hideous 'arty farty' stuff in the latest series) and his passion for the subjects comes across. As for his Woodcraft business, well it IS a business after...

I bought 5 lengths from Endicotts and it's nice stuff. The only downside is that you are limited to 7.5M. Where do you get your 1.3mm stuff from fishy1? I've been looking for some stuff I can use with the kids over the summer.
