*The* Gift-It-On Thread

Biker

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
I'd love to have the pin up books, but my wife would be slapping me up side the head if I said yes ..... :pokenest::twak::twak::twak:

Spokeshave going to the "not so" Wild Thing it is then :lmao:

The artwork is pretty risqué but nothing like you haven't already seen on page 3 of certain tabloids. I'm certainly not into drawing graphic porn. Think saucy beach postcard and you'll be about right. Bit like Bushcraft Betty but without her T shirt on.

Yes apj1974 Kylie and Betty does sort of stir the loins. :naughty:

Another general question to all. Are any of you wandering about the house/shed/garden/garage and actually making a conscious effort looking for stuff to punt off here? I found myself picking up all sorts of bits and bobs and thinking "Naaaah that's crap" or "Nope that'll stall the thread for sure."

Totally empathise with what Asa Samual said above. It's easy to feel your own stuff is far less of a bargain that what you nabbed. I suppose that's why I like this forum so much, everyone seems to have a conscience and genuinelly wants to help each other out and not treat it as a take take take sort of place. That's what Southey meant by feeling the love for this thread. :grouphug:

So just to bump this up the "what's new" page a bit.

On offer is an old wooden spokeshave and a Lab sign for the shed/workshop door.

OR

Two of my own pin-up artwork books to over 18's only.

See pix on previous page.

Funny how a sharp tool can go to the hands of an under 18 though. (beeezarrrre)

So to say again what's on offer is an A4 cutting mat with a size 3 swan morton scapel handle and pack of 10A blades.

Mesquite's offering

A4 cutting mat with a size 3 swan morton scapel handle and pack of 10A blades.

Just thought I'd bump this up the new posts board again.

May I remind you of the fact that this item is free to you. The only string attached to it is that you have to offer something in return and pass it onto the whoever wants it. Figure it as a kind of reverse trade.

C'mon in, the water's fine!

Ok, it's been over 24 hours since I offered the cutting mat and scalpel handle and no one has shown any interest so I'm withdrawing it.

The new item up for gifting on is a French leather lined satchel.

Please note that I won't be able to post this out until after the 28th as I'm away for a week.

Oooh that satchel looked nice Mesquite. I bet the cutting board would have gone today though, but I can see why you got the vapours. When my stuff was under the spot light I got all antsy too. "Will it go?" "Will someone want it?" "I hope it's not considered shyte."

Anyway, good gift too, as is the Gerber Sliding Saw that DorkingBushcraft is offering.

I wasn't too worried about it going... I knew someone would want it eventually and that's the problem. How long do you leave something on offer before you change the offer?

I felt as there'd been no interest in 24 hrs I didn't want to hold the thread up so found something else :)
 
Can i have the french mess tin with food stuff please?

i'd like to offer a leather covered wine flask like this-
