  1. Few signs of rats around the garden compost.....in past years have put out poison but gets expensive and don't like the thought of what else may get a hold of the poison. So after looking on here bought a couple of Fenn traps and made up a box to put them in. Strap hinges, handle and catch made from an old seat-belt. It works a treat...got this monster today.

  6. This is the latest opinel i just finished. My own carving this time. A no12 with a lion head carved on the end. Phosphor bronze liners for smooth action.
  7. Nice one Jock. Is the velvet in resin? Griff

  11. Nice one Simplicity, practicality and economy combined the perfect combo! Griff
  12. Good to hear from you Jock...thought you must have been busy with something as not seen anything from you on here for a while. Get some pics posted up. Regards Griff
  13. A no7 up for grabs too. Bit of a kink in the tine ....but lots of character.

  14. Easy to do....2 inch strips of denim dipped in resin and wrapped round and round like tape, clig wrapped it while wet and squeeze into shape, final shape up on the bandsaw. Unbelievably tough stuff with the denim in it and the bandsaw seemed the only thing that would shape it with any speed.
  15. Pulled these old hammer heads out of the skip.....as you can never have too many hammers. Put a couple of quick handles on two of them.....may get to the others sometime. Old Estwing has GRP resin soaked denim wrapped round it then cling wrap to hold it in shape until it sets. Once set shaped it up using the edge of the bandsaw blade like a rasp. The other head i welded a spring steel shaft in and sandwiched it in oak stuck on with isopone and pinned with copper rivets. Rubbed oak with wire wool soaked in vinegar to blacken it up a bit and a coat of wax.
  16. It is delicate but not as fragile as it looks. I carried the bronze contact plates a good way inside the handle and added the bronze collar for strength.
  17. As the regulars will know i have done a few carved antler Opinels. This one is not my carving. I had 3 pendants made with the idea of marrying them with an opinel. This one is 98mm long and houses a no 6 Opinel very nicely. Self lubricating phosphor bronze contact plates and collar. Silver pendant ring for attaching to a chain or thong if desired.
