[Tengu]

I will bring my leather tool box though I am not going to do anything, but just in case.

Have projects planned;

Cartridge match cases

Bush candle fire lighters (Will bring small and large mould)

BBQ candles in scallop shells

This popped up in my recommended vids:

They look fun, though I can't see how a roll of cotton wool dipped in wax lit with a lighter wouldn't achieve the same solution for far less effort. Fun fizzy fire though for anyone who likes such things.

Come and join in if you like, I have plenty of kit.

Should have enough scallop shells -But if you have any, a few more wont hurt

Most of these projects involve paraffin wax; I also have plenty but if you have any scraps then nows the time to use them up

I wont charge anything for this...but I do get hungry.

I think we’re all too busy looking up various weather forecasts trying to choose the best one!!!

The conditions are building up to exactly as they were three weeks ago and I’m just about dry from that so whatever it does I should be alright.
