I'm going to drop some rabbit boxes on Saturday night and should get some nice clean lead free bunnies Sunday morning. If I section them up and put them in the freezer shall I bring some along for a stew/communal cook up?

Not such a good drop. 1x full grown and 14x little tackers (released to grow a bit bigger).
Looks like a trip out with the rifle is in order.:AR15firin

 

[Chris the Cat]

Thanks Dave,all coolio with SWMBO re-dates so look forward to seeing you and putting some faces to the names on this forum!
Cheers.
Chris.

 

[Jaysurfer]

looks like this has turned from a little meet into a medium meet lol

 

[JoyR]

I for one am not complaining! The more the merrier

 

[Steve M]

I'm going to have to miss the Saturday night and Sunday. Bummer!

 

[Steve M]

May 9th-10th.

Would it be out of the question to rock up on the Friday night? I've got to get off on Saturday night to be at training on Sunday.

 

[harryhawk]

Steve I was led to believe we were only going for the saturday night. I could be wrong.:tapedshut

 

[Chris the Cat]

Dave,any water on site or are we carrying it in?
Also,whats with the rather lovely Nessies on your site,thought it was not a blade shape you were keen on! Those two are beauties,are the handles Yew?
Very nice work mate,see ya soon.
Chris.

 

[Steve M]

I'm gonna pass on this one, which is a shame. Might pop down in the day.

 

[Dave Budd]

I was planning on this being a saturday evening through to sunday evening thing.

I'm away on friday so I won't be around for campers friday night.

I think this time around keep small (ish). The original plan was to get together around a campfire saturday evening rather than a pub. Then we can generally prat about sunday and disband during sunday at will.


Chris, there is rain water on site, but no 'clean' drinking water. So unless you are happy drinking what comes off my workshop roof (I do), then you will have to bring it with you I'm afraid. The nessy handles are ironwood and cherry. I only got around to making them because Wayne Goddard asked if I had a picture of one for Blade magazine

There is plenty of firewood but it will need gathering

 

[Chris the Cat]

Thats cool Dave.
Having made the nessies has your opinion changed? Just wonder,as a user of your knives, what your feelings about them are?!
Real ale or Whisky mate?
My best.
Chris.

 

[Dave Budd]

to be honest Chris I've not really played with them yet. Certainly I don't prefer making them as these are based on the original lines, so they are thin blades and about 6" in length. that means more likely to warp in heat treat. I can certainly see the merits of the blade but I don't know about the swell towards the tip. I need to try them out really

either mate, you know me, I'm easy

 

[JoyR]

Hi all. Would someone be so kind as to pm me with some clear directions, ill be coming up on my moped (hehe!) from barnstaple way, the clearer the directions the better as i will have to stop and deglove etc if i want to look at a map! Also, if anyone is happy to pm me their mobile number incase i do get lost somewhere so i can call and work it out, that would be much appreciated! Joy

 

[Dave Budd]

I'm going to pm directions out today/tomorrow to all those on the list.

I have a SERIOUSLY grumpy (miserable old....) neighbour who must be avoided while crossing his land, so i have to send out strick instructions to those attending. He is the constant thorn in my behind
