    Leather care

    i use some stuff called Ko-Cho-Line to soften any leather. works a treat aswell. cost under a fiver and i got mine from the local country stores/ country wide but heres a link for ye, not sure if they have coutrystores in spain though http://www.journeyman-leather.co.uk/leathercare.html hth.
  2. ive got the mk 11 of that lens 75-300. i cant say about the mk111 as i havnt used it but find that the AF is quite slow on mine so the images are a touch out of focus and look soft. this is only on action pics though....on still things or slow moving its grest but most of what im interested in is the action shots so im looking for another lens at the moment that is faster at focusing. hth. just a couple of pics to see what its like. no doubt if i knew what i was doing they would be better but here they are. as far as im aware they have only been cropped so you can see the shrpness, col
  3. im using ps cs2, got it on disk here. hell of a tool if only i knew how to work 1/4 of what it could do i was using picasa before that and that was good for the basics but upgraded to this. bought a mag a couple of weeks back...well got given it but to the point it had some tutorials of what to do what in photoshop. got me started on changing the colours of certain parts, feathering, sharpening etc. still dont know what most of the things do on it though cheif....sending you a pm in a mo fella :thumbs-up:
  4. if its indexed gears try the indexing adjustment knob, at the top of the cable towards the shifer end. if you get no joy with that try adjusting the 2 screws on the back of the derailer marked h and l. h for high gears l for low. if the chain will not move up into the bigger rings turn the l screw anticlockwise. just 1/4 of a turn or so at first and keep going out slowly till you get a result. which way is the chain falling off....towards the spokes or pedals?? hth maty.
  5. you dont do things by halfs do you tbf! dovetails and box's on a ferret box. mine are just glued and pinned like the rest. made one a year or two ago now. i bught a big bow backed but it was just a pain in the arse lugging it around when we were only using 2-3 furts. its a 2 section box sav having ferrets spewing out as was happening with the bow box. its divided down themiddle aswell so i could have my monks in one side and mates in other. does me fine and didnt cost much to make. i fixed the strap on with screws first and they were making the holes in the webbing st
  6. just got onto dvd. only watched the first few mins to check whats what and it seems quite good. heard good reveiws about it aswell.
  7. at one of the shows i go to they use a old bike. upside down. remove the front wheel and put it 40 yds away if you want the course that long or whatever distance. bit of string over the rear and front wheel in a continuous loop and thats pritty much it. they have a 2 way bearing type hub in the wheel so you can turn the wheel both ways from the pedals insted of the standared one way. hth.
  8. I got some of that from Johnson and send it back it was like knitting with a elastic band :laugh: you get a fair few nets from it, dont you chief :whistle:
  9. this any good to you p&g, 5 and 6mm? black round lacky i know its not square but it is solid. sure i had a link here for the square stuff aswell, ill have a look for it. edit: knew it was here somewere! its an old item off ebay but if your strugleing to get it, may be worth a look at his shop or see if he can get hold of any for ye? just bought some 6.5 mm balls off him aswell quite cheap to see what there like apart from being cheaper. forgot to put the link in! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SQUARE-REPLACEMENT-R...1QQcmdZViewItem
  10. seem overpriced...and either 6z or 4z twine. only used 6z in longnets and that still picks up some shit. got a few hemp ones here if your interested going cheap. sending you a pm in a min. cheers, maty.
  11. A lot of chinese restrauants, do serve cat on the menue, (disgiused as chicken). Frank. :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: any one for cat.... http://www.starterupsteve.com/swf/chowmein.html
  12. used to use hemp and it found it good but moved onto the spun nylon now. used the red nets last year which were very good. i would say on a par with hemp reagards getting snagged on debris etc. cant say about the heavyer z nylon nets but stay away from the thin 4z etc....get tanged on grass but do catch well. got some blcak nets that are the same material as the red un's handle exactly the same just harder to see when picking them up. i got some yellow spun last weekend after hearing good things about it, made one up allready and is nice to work with. its a similar thickness to the
  13. if its in barn and your worried about the roof. you could try using a .22 or even .25 but i would still do a few tests first to see if it goes through. or even try wadcutters or h-points. theres sum with a plastic balistic tip out. heard that the accuracy of them was shite though. just an idea... bait them outside the barn or onto the flaw to shoot them. thats asuming it is in barn or building. cheers, maty.
  14. had a packet from HK today that was marked as a gift on the customs declaration, but have had others that have just stated what they are. check the feedback of the seller see what if he says is what he does and just make sure he will mark it as a gift when they send it out.
  15. ive got a cluson lazerlite. not a bad lamp, however the beam seems a bit too wide. i paid 4 quid for the lamp and made the rest of the kit up from boot sales or ads etc. female cig lighter plus a bit of wire from maplins few quid. 7ah batt 2 quid car boot.... 14 ah batt :whistle: .... carry case for the 7ah fiver off another forum. total cost....well less than cluson charge anyway. hth, maty.
  16. that dog's a monster!! bigger than the wardrobe and chair anyway. hope you get it sorted al...and if its not in a few weeks get his details on here so no one else gets done over.
  17. thats were i got mine from rob, dont think it was even a quid.
  18. i had a little mis hap with mine..................that's right i shot it now it's bugger'd same here, i duck taped it back together and its fine now. if you send it back to them they can fix it. i remember robin saying that if i sent mine back it would only cost me the return fee but its working fine so i never bothered. may be worth an email cbc? if i was getting another i would get the chrony ones to try save shooting it again.
