    I have known Andy and Tonya for a long time,- and i had hoped to back them up, but as try as i could i find something is wrong here. Perhaps it was a tale that got out of hand but, as i find,- When i spoke to Tonya a few nights ago, she said When she got the call from Andy, she phoned a keeper, who went out on a quad, to find Andy, although she says they had a good idea where Andy was. She also text the farmer who was away at the time, and he sent someone else out. She says Andy had fell into a ditch and partly under a wall ( i presume after the "attack" ). The ambulance had wanted him c

    The photos of the sash-clamp have not copied good enough, but this stick was done just with the clamp. I later got this frame for pulling the nose out, it has holes in the plate so that a bolt can be put where you want it. I have some spare hand-piece items, i will put in the post, if you pm me your address. I'm having problems uploading stuff here. ?

    Who was the keeper and what land, they asked me to ask, as it could be someone they know.

    Tonya, Is this person the one that attacked andy or the one that attacked the game keeper with a firearm??? Do you have any more information on this attack on the gamekeeper with a firearm, in the same area. My farmer / shooting friends are asking about this as the keepers they know, have not said anything, and they usually inform each other. Thanks

    Very interesting bit of film. I'd expect they were catching them to reduce injury as thats some height for any dog.

    I've just managed to get those links to play,and see he boils his, but not many people i know would boil buffalo. Each to their own.

    If you take your time heating the buffalo horn, with the hot airgun, it will become like toffee. Keep the gun about 4 to 6inches from the horn so you don't burn it, and keep the gun moving, on the two sides and the inner side, i never heated the back, and i also used to put a file between the sash-clamp and back of the horn so it got a better grip. I used to take about i hour 15 minutes for the first bend. I have some photos i will try and put up. Its best if you don't try to boil buffalo horn, as it can delaminate.

    Alan Bateman is one of the best stick dressers in Britain,- i'm sure he was also a member of BSDA. There are other links on Hunting Life to Alans work.

    The latest Newsletter from the Border Stick Dressers Association has an article in from Dane Love, a great maker of all types of sticks. He has a DVD out on the making of a Burr Elm, Thistle ( crook type ) walking stick. The thistle is carved on the curl end. A good help for beginners, and experienced stick-makers. Its £10 plus £1.50 postage. From Dane Love, Holland Crescent, Cumnock, Ayrshire, KA18 1QE

    Very nice knife,- well made.
  23. Gin
    Yes i know of that one, but you will notice variants, on original patterns. It was original Seaton Sluice, or Cullercoats i was looking for. I have seen variants, but are far from the original patterns. Thanks
  24. Gin
    That could be a one off pattern, done for him. I had two made for me, and it was not easy to get original patterns,- I don't suppose she knits original gansey's ?. They are like hens teeth to get original local gansey's.
