Fixed it now, thanks :)

These have been out of stock for a while, but they are back again now. I ordered some yesterday and they arrived this morning just using the standard £1.00 postage and packing.

A Lixada Portable Stainless Steel Lightweight Folding Wood Stove Pocket Stove from Amazon. Gave it a test burn and so far so good. It assembles much faster and easier than the previous model, so far...

Tiz indeed, merry Yule :)

Thanks man, I will speak with the finance fairy and see what can be done :)

Looking good Geoff, a long time coming but worth all the effort you have put in. 👍
How much are the signed copies?

Yes, I saw the recomendation, but they looked a lot like the very cheap ones you can get and so I was a bit dubious as to how good they actually are. If they are ok, thats 8 chisels for the price of...

How good are the axminster mini carving chisels compared to some of the alternatives? I have basic flexcut set, but could do with a few more chisels.

That will harden the file, but you will need to temper it a little afterwards or it will be too brittle. heat the steel till you begin to see a change in the colour, there are various colours to look...

If you only want a wee bit, try a pet shop, they are sold a dog chews, not the cheapest way to buy some, but you save on postage and get to pick just the bit you want.

Much as the others have said, I season for a year or so, then use a stiff brush to get rid of any lose stuff, then sand gently till smooth. You need to remove bits of branch with a sharp knife before...

I can just remember, my grandparents sharpening knives on the back door step of the house. It was slate and they got a fine edge with a bit of spit as lubrication.

Worth looking at the Hultafors heavy duty as well as the Mora. I've been using one for a couple of weeks now, and I have to say I'm very impressed, it is every bit as good as my Mora and in some...

Quick update, Blacks were having a closing down sale but nothing took my fancy. I poped into a place down by the covered market called "pull the trigger" and they had Mora and Hultafors knives so...

I shall pound the streets looking dejected and see what I can find ;)

I find myself with an hour or two to kill in plymouth tomorrow, are there any bushcrafty outdoorsy shops I should visit while Im there?
It would be nice to pick up a Hultafors heavy duty knife as...

Well done Geoff!!!, I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I make my own from natural forks and use lead balls as ammo. You can make a simple ball catcher from a box and an old t shirt or jumper hung so that it absorbs the energy of the ball when it hits. A...

If I can work out the rules on selling things here luresalive, I may well do just that😀
Thanks for the kind words guys, btw its about 9cm long, I forgot to mention that.

I finally found a few minutes to make a fire steel to a design I sketched a while ago. I'm not quite sure yet, I may tinker with it a bit more, but I'm happy to leave this one as it is and try a few...

Hi, I have a friend who is planning a short notice overnight trip to the area for a bit of camping and some fishing. He has asked me to try and find a spot with the following requirements. Both he...

They are stunning carvings, you know a tutorial would be very well received ;)

To be frank, I have been a bit dissapointed in the Tramontina. Im not sure if its just mine or if they all suffer the same problem but the blade is very soft and hardly keeps an edge. I used it in...

It's an old Kent pattern axe, they were mass-produced usually from good steel and tend to have a slim profile for the most part. Ideal for cutting rather than splitting, but only a top down look can...

That is a very neat idea ;)
