    Another link,- i used an evostick type glue, for the welt, and it did not work with Neats foot oil. I now use the recommended latex type glue. Such as Copydex http://jacksshed.myfreeforum.org/Neats_Foot_Oil_Leatherwork_about6855.html

    Good rams horns are like gold dust,- you need a horn from a ram at least 4 years of age.

    Another link My mate did this one. Same blade http://jacksshed.myfreeforum.org/Smallholder1_latest_blade_about7043.html

    I have customised several blades now, and getting better after each one. I'm a bit lucky, as i can do a lot of the work at work in my breaks and my mate is a knifemaker and he recently let me borrow some of his sanding gear, which also saved lots of time and effort, but it can all be easily done with files and sandpaper. I will put a few links up to articles i did on another site, as it would take me ages to put it all on here again. I hope you can see it all ok. http://jacksshed.myfreeforum.org/Latest_knife_about6490.html

    Yes, its a paint stripper type hot air gun. If you keep turning the shank it will not harm the bark in anyway. If your not sure, you can wrap a bit of tinfoil around the shank area being heated. A lot of people are buying straight grain timber handpieces, such as crooks, but its really a waste of money, as soon as you drop it or put any strain on it, it will easily snap. Only work with one piece Shank-handpiece, or use a burr. Far stronger, and not likely to snap. Take a look at this site. Tell Martin what you want and he will do his best to get it for you. http://www.highlandhorn.com/

    Get the pup chipped, it costs about £10. If the pup gets lost, you get it back.

    Thanks but its someone in Birtley i need, if possible. I was given an address as Burnloose, but it does not seem to be correct. I'm looking for a particular dog also.

    I've made many sticks, by using a hot air gun. Keep the gun about 4 inches from the shank, and keep turning the shank, until nearly too hot to handle. Straighten in the vice with the help of blocks placed against the bend. One block on the bend and two either side infront, and screw up the vice, and leave to cool. Works perfectly. http://www.bobsticks.co.uk/links.htm

    It was a real good and interesting few hours out JT. Once the terrier got her first rabbit,- something just seemed to "kick in" in her brain, and it was like she had been at it for years. I'm very pleased to have been able to help,- and Molly is one of the best for advice. She's a canny bugger.

    Are you sure he said it was Snake Wood,- Its a very nice knife though. I have used Snake Wood http://www.amazonexotichardwoods.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=TB-S
  22. Gin
    I'd have picked up the dog and taken it to the vets if i'd seen it was still alive,- i'd have stopped anyway and checked. Then i'd have asked police, dog warden etc if it was reported lost and phoned the owner. Wonder how many people just drove past. Very sorry to hear about this.

    help really needed

    Gin replied to a topic in General Talk

    Get lots of posters up in the shops in those areas, and keep at the dog warden. The posters worked great for us when one of ours went missing. We received very accurate information via posters and got our dog back. Very best wishes in getting yours back.
