  1. Yeah i've found that too! I had to make several versions before I got one that was right for me and the dog! the ones i've got now dont look any thing like these first few I made They might be a little fiddly to put back together but they are brilliant if you have a strong dog, no more rope burns round your fingers! more to the point the dogs are not running with collars on Indeed!

  3. Actually spelt is correct........ spelt / spelled both work as past-tense and past participal forms of spell Spelt (Triticum spelta) is a hexaploid species of wheat. Spelt was an important staple in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age to medieval times
  4. still trying to figure out how that works. do you let go og the peg, the neck loosens and the peg hits the ring, but its still round the dogs neck isnt it? You let go of the toggle, the loops slips off the end of it, drops down through the rabbit ring and the dog is loose!
  5. What the feck is a grass trumpet??

  9. Cheap and nasty on the whole though now and then you will get a good one, having said that I haven't had anything to do with Chinese air guns for a very long time so could be talking out of my backside and they could be brilliant by now, though I doubt it!, better off looking for a cheap second hand BSA meteor or Crossman ratcatcher ect.

Oak, ash, hawthorn, holly, silver birch, rowan, i've just cut one from scots pine (will let you know how tht goes), walnut, apple, pear ect ect any wood thats strong enough really edit to say you can let it season or give it a quick bake in the oven or cut forks from trees that have been down a while
  13. no idea, only just started making them I do do a lot of wood carving bowls, net needles, spoons ect and always work with green wood, unless I find a nice bit of oak thats been down a few hundred years, and just work the wood then leave it to dry slowly and hardly ever have any problems
