  1. fair play gruff did you make that yourself, ? I have been looking at getting one myself, but did,nt want to shell out the two or three hundred quid they sell for, it's known as an Alaskan saw mill I believe Not this one, just saw it on indestructibles, all the instructions there on the link, easy enough to put together.
  2. Make up a simple mill like this for accurate rips. http://www.instructables.com/id/Chainsaw-mill/?ALLSTEPS
  3. I have the standard S410 but thinking this would be very handy for inconspicuous transport. http://www.air-arms.co.uk/products/sporter/s410-tdr Anyone used one?
  4. Most questions answered here http://basc.org.uk/basc-scotland/airguns-in-scotland/airgun-licensing-in-scotland-frequently-asked-questions/ and here http://www.legislation.gov.uk/asp/2015/10/contents
  5. Got asked to make some replacement parts for a cannon enthusiast, didn't take a lot of pics but here is one of the height adjuster wedge, also made the other timber parts except the side stepped pieces are original. It is the smallest one furthest away. All parts made from Iroko, be glad to get it used, horrible dust when you work it.
  6. Ah well tell him we're asking and interested what his new venture is.
  7. I know he sold up his knife making gear but just wondering if anyone knew what he is up to now? Top bloke, gave me some good advice on knife making etc.
  8. Changing brake pads on my car yesterday, always get those annoying wear ridges so came up with this idea for truing them up. Put a bolt through a skateboard wheel and put in a slow powerful drill jack up the car and lower it so the discs contacts the skateboard wheel to to spin the disc at a slow speed. Use the angle grinder to skim the rusty ridges off the spinning disc. Can do the whole process it 10 min.
  9. Nah, if it was me i would have jacked it up and put a sander belt on the tires and a brick on the accelerator.
  10. I still pick rose hips and make syrup every year, rich in vitamin C and really good for your joints, finally another reason to spend an evening out in the fresh air away from shite Enders What's the recipe? Thanks . Boil the hips in water, an inch deeper than the hips, when they soften up I give em a few presses with the potato masher, then simmer for ten or fifteen, then strain through a muslin cloth twice to remove the itchy fibres, put the liquid back in the pan boil in some sugar and bottle, I drink it like squash in cold water, it's really refreshing,free and good for you, there are loa

  12. Welcome to the craft section, good to have new interest. If you have the space and won't annoy the neighbors with coal smoke blowing over their fence, a coal forge like the one i have on page one of this thread are fast & simple to build and with relatively no cost if you scrounge bits. And it will do it all from basic forge work to forge welding the flux of which eats your forge so if it is an old brake disc it doesn't matter as you chuck it and fit another. A few blades made on my forge http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/338536-couple-of-big-blades/ http://www.thehunt
  13. Useful jig my boy made up for filing bevels on a knife accurately.
  14. Dosn't look like much yet but here it is.
  15. My lad did his first bit of Damascus 200 + layers and looking good. Not to be outdone i did my first forge weld today of spring steel core encased in bicycle chain, weld looks good but not ground to see what it looks like, fingers crossed it was worthwhile, it took all afternoon to beat it in.
