Never thought you were Leon, but as Goose pointed out it was pretty bad form of me to start tapping about smoking on this thread of all places! So to correct the balance for the less sensible readers and all that mate......

Hmm - there is a tool to de-bark trees - looks like a long sharp spade pretty much. Be too big for your job though. Something like a blunt chisel or a bolster might work - or even a paint scraper. Get a bit of bark off with your knife (wear gloves - yes, I know, I sound like your mum) then push the scraper along the length of the branch / tree, not "round and round" if that makes any sense?

Leon,
Nah mate - I have my own weird view on watches - and that aint it
. If you like it and it works - go for it (think just over half the dollar price in £ plus shipping - probably £50 - £60 mate)

Leon, try this link and you will find all manner of watches. They come up on ebay all the time, there are loads on there. It depends what sort of watch you want aswell, I would love a wind up, but I'd forget to wind it so I went for an automatic.
My watch doesn't appear to be on this site at the moment, basically though, they are all waterproof to about 20 metres unless it states otherwise. It doesn't need to be an expensive version aswell, as they are cheap and easy to get hold of.

Leon,
Automatic watches are part of weirdness (should have checked your link). They wind themselves - never need winding or a battery provided you wear them every day (they use your body motion to wind them)

No I don't dislike them, don't get me wrong (I don't know anything about them). I think a watch should be simple, analogue, luminous and saelf winding - mine is a Seiko kinetic BB gave me. I think a watch is like a knife - a simple elegant design is all you need. I don't like battery watches cos the battery fails when you need it most. I don't like wind up watches cos you foget to wind em when under pressure (e.g. when you have to get up for something important). They have to be luminous so you can peer at them at night (I never take mine off - even when sleeping). So I say buy a good make once and forget it - just keep it on your wrist
