Thanks Bent Stick

Really appreciate this group buy and the time and effort it has taken to organise it. My wife Alison has even expressed approval to this new area of Bushcraft as she sees it as being more productive to my usual creations around fire making. A rare thing indeed. I think she is hoping for some sort of possibles pouch for herself.

Cheers

George

Further update:

I started dividing it up on Sunday. Getting the best fit of sizes on the hides is a bit of a mission - I can see why le prevo don't do it ;) I should finish next weekend and start getting bills and leather to people next week.

Thanks for being patient

Hello, BS
As you no doubt noticed I never made it to the spear chuckers convention so it's all down to Mr Robs for the day (which of the three I'm not sure of yet though)

They'll never make me work for a living but I did have to use up my annual leave entitlement and I don't often use these 'net boxes at home

I've made a start and I'll definitely finish this weekend.

Bills and leather will go out next week if I have to stay up all night doing it ;)

Many apologies for keeping you all waiting...

Definiely still on. I'm sitting with 300squids worth of leather if it all goes pearshaped. :eek:

Pignut - you have PM.

I'm having another go at it tomorrow and hope to get some out next week. It's working out at 2.75 sqft for the columbo and 3GBP to send 2 sqft signed for. (alowing a bit for packaging).

2bc, If you can wait until easter I'll bring yours along to holmbush and you can save the postage.

It will go out in batches, 'er indoors has a bad back so won't be able to get it all down to the PO at once. But we are getting there.I'll pm individuals as it leaves here so you can send me some dosh.

The Grade 1 stuff is still in the packaging I'll sort that out next.

If anyone hasn't paid for their leather and arent going to would it be possible for me to take enough to make about 2 Sheaths. I want to have a go at some leatherwork but I cant find anywhere that sells small ammounts of it does anyone have any ideas where I could get a bit about 2 foot long by one foot wide?

Thanks for any information you can give me.
