I guess that's easier to light than the cat litter in the woodgas
Ha ha I bloody hope so
Sorry folks, no scotch eye adapters on the tool stall. I did pick up the bit to go with it for £2 and a rather nice new 1944 cold set for £5
i got a few more bits for 50p a pop, and a pack of 50 honing stones for £5. They are 3 1/4 x 3/8 x 5/16 Inch And what looks like "100 gPH" . I thought they would be useful for field use or in mini kits. Any one interested?
I finally picked up the curved surform I was after for 2 quid to restore and use and a rather cute replica Roman oil lamp replica for a pound.
thats all.

After a enjoyable hours fiddling here's the restored curved surform. The paint came off the aluminium in big strips so I decided to clean it all off. Luckily I had a spare blade the right size so I ditched the old rusty one.
the lamps filled with olive oil and the wicks 7 inches of laid linen rope. Smokey but quite a lot of light.

I keep finding them at carboots or charity shops, although I did get one from a stall at a roman reanactors event. The one top right needs the spout hole filing or drilling out to take a bigger wick. Beeswax coating the inside of the unglazed ones really stops the soaking through of the oil.
My woodland group kindly bought me a galaxy note 10.1 tablet today.

Cool, you can use it to post up all your toys from the earlier post when they arrive. Things seem to be sweet at the moment
Hey Tom, you should post some of them up in the "Show us your Lanterns" thread, we've been discussing lamps.I keep finding them at carboots or charity shops, although I did get one from a stall at a roman reanactors event.

Things are going great with the group cheers.
The supplier emailed, they are awaiting stock of the frontier stove and heater, son as they arrive they'll be posted out. Pictures and big grin to follow.

Opps I'd been distracted by the Sterling L2A3 (Mark 4?), Bren L4a1 and L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle and they weren't lit! My bad.
Yeah, all deacs so big paper weights, the Sterlings a 1959 NZ contract gun, the L4A4 s (no way you could tell with out looking at the markings which don't show up) also a NZ contract gun, 1972 and the SLRs a 1960 s Lithgow. There used to be load more, 22 LMGS alone. But my interests changed and I got rid of most of them. I think there's twelve left now plus a mortar and a 3.5 inch Bazooka. I used to do a bit of research at the old Pattern Room. Oddly I've never shot mor than a .22 air rifle in my life. But I digress.
