Very nice. Are you forging them ? If so what steel are you using.
Forging next, I was locked down in a friends house with a lidl grinder and a few hand tools when I made those. Did the bevels etc. with handfiles and sweat ; )
I planning to make some kitchen knives, wrapped in wrought iron that my grandad would have made

Exactly that.
The dog you need is a good dog where it's needed.

You put your dog in there?
It must be no good.
I wouldn't put my dog in there.
It's too good.
and repeat
If there was a thread on here looking for a torx driver, you'd be told you're a fool. They're shit, you need a Phillips.

I have one Steve pope tuned sub 12ft/lb , close to perfection in a springer for me, I can't feel any recoil and pellet on pellet at 25-35 yards.
Priceless. I'd buy the best mechanical example you could get of it and wouldn't worry too much about the price.

If a Lakeland needs bull blood added then it wasn't good enough to breed out of to begin with.
If a Lakie has bull added it becomes a bull headed black dog.
There's almost no working lines of Lakeland left but plenty of the other.

Very few workers are kennel club registered.
I was ripping the piss out of people getting their panties in a twist because Wheatons might be tainted.

If there's some Bull blood back along in all the wheatons. Does that mean you can't register them with the kennel club?
cause lots of guys on here seem to worry about Pure over Ability. B

I personaly think that terriers or earth dogs in such conditioned condition will suffer when the going gets tough for a long time,i like a bit of substance to a fit earth dog as you just don't know how long it's going to down there and in mid winter in a wet cold earth that dog won't last but it'll still get the blame for jibbing or dying..To me it's not my thing in any way,but your happy with it so all's well bud..
...
Mid winter I'd have different weight on a dog, they can suffer and die from cold and wet.
But this time of year, heat and humidity kills them, that looks okay, even straining it's not showing light ribs or back. So it's weight looks okay, have you got it to that weight just by rationing feed or walking it?

Depending on what you require to be done Bryan.
Sandwell Field Sports are brilliant with Springers generally.
Plenty of excellent tuning kits available. And tuners of course.
Just curious as to who's good and I'm always interesting in improvements. In a way I wonder if with time they're be less Springer expertise as people move away from them?
I've a V-Mach tuned HW77 11.7 ft/lbs which is almost recoiless
and a HW 80FAC I fitted a V mach tuning kit into, polished the piston, chamber, opened the transfer port, chopped the barrel (apologies for any offence caused) with a Vemon silencer, that's good for me on rabbits to 55 yards.
I could still fit buttons to the piston

Old thread,
but it got me thinking, who are the best guys nowadays to work on Springers?
-
conditioning, electrolytes and bicarb in water
-
Who’d pack in terriers if they couldn’t use a locator?
-
The French can't use technology to hunt any animals, they hunt hounds without walkie talkies, just use French horns to communicate, even if hounds are going for a road etc.
If they were to used technology to hunt Badgers they wouldn't be able to defend that in France to the French public and would be more likely to be banned from digging.
Different mindset.
-
There's a complete failure here by people to understand how others hunt, regard the hunt and the hunted animal.
At the end of a Stag hunt in Ireland (before it was banned)the Stag was ropped up and taken back to a park.
At the end of a Stag hunt in UK (before it was banned) the Stag was shot as that was the most humane thing to do.
In France they kill it with a sword "because that's a more honourable death and the huntsman should be intimate with the stag when taking its life, to shoot it would be a dishonour"
They aren't obsessed with humane this or that, it's more about honour. We call Badgers pigs! There's such a gulf right there between cultures that'll never square the circle.
We can't hope to comprehend them and they're respect for quarry and the hunt or it's honour where we are obsessed with our own honour tied up with a game terrier or a Bullx lurcher. Badgers are seen by most as something to disrespect while gaining FB likes and respect. That ain't the French way.
Why can't you be more like us Blaise????????

new to knifemaking but time on my hands
in Countryside Skills, Craft & DIY
Posted
This batch has been snapped up by friends and family and easing lockdown has ruined my knifemaking. Just gauging what shapes and styles people like. I need to improve everything on finish before I'd be happy selling.
Second wave should see me produce next batch.
