    ran out of likes good we dog been out with it getting better every time Cheers Davy. Aye mate...he's gettin better all the time. I've had some great fun with him. Couldn't ask any more of him. There's still the odd 1 turns him inside out but that's all part of the fun

    Very nice, and a similar stamp to IWW bitch. Are they same breeding/lines? Not sure mate. Mine came from a breeder in Port Glasgow up here in Scotland and i don't know anything about his lines or whether he came from working stock or not. I'd seen him when he was a pup and always liked him then he came up for sale and i snapped him up. He had been run on the lure and had caught a few bunnies but not many. I got him at 1 yr old. It's out of season so he's a bit on the heavy side. He has muscled up and filled out a bit in the last few months. I was up on the River Dee fishing and took him

    I'm sure I've still got some pics of my Superten beech stock after I stripped it...I'll have a look and add them to let you see ;-)
  11. AirgunGuy
    Aye the beech will be very light mate when stripped and sanded. There will be a stain and varnish or oil on it just now ;-)
  12. AirgunGuy
    I take it it's a beech stock? If so it will be very light when stripped so brummer would be the best thing which is mostly used for oak but would do for beech. Brummer dries very hard. A dark filler will show up more imho;-)

    I was using JWB but it went from 8 quid odds to 9 quid odds for 2 kilos recently which is more than I'm willing to pay so now they're on Alpha at 15 quid for 10 kilos. Mine are mostly flesh fed but have dry available at all times ;-)

    Again...if its a good join then leave well alone. If you open it up again then you'll have the adhesive still on the faces and it will be much more difficult to get a good fit without having to sand the faces flat and then you never get a properly aligned join ;-)

    The joint is strong there is a slight join line which would sand easy enough so you wouldn't sand it down then?Strip it with nitromors 1st. It may take a couple of applications to completely remove the old varnish. Then you can start sanding working your sand paper down to emery paper. After that you'll be able to see how much filling you'll need to do. If there are any small dings on the stock then they can be steamed out with a hot kettle. After that then you can start applying the finish. It's a very simple job with only basic wood working skills needed ;-)
  16. AirgunGuy
    If its a good strong bond then I would leave it and just re-do the stock. You've obviously done a decent job and the adhesive has been decent enough. Your stock should be easy enough to do as there's not a lot of chequering. Strip it with nitromors and refinish with Birchwood Casey kit. It's simple enough to do. You'll be able to fill the crack around the repair with brummer which is suitable for lighter woods. If it's well stuck I would leave it ;-)

    I've a whippet. When I started him he retrieved the 1st dozen or so live then started killing them. I put it down to him possibly being kicked when the lamp went out. He's had a few smaller rabbits recently and is retrieving again so I'm now thinking it was due to the weight of the bigger bucks. Whippets aren't big lurchers and can struggle with the weight of a big buck so it's easier for them to kill it 1st. Doesn't answer why your dog's eating them but he may have had a bad struggle with 1 and that could've possibly caused what he's doing. Same thing when a dog is switched on to foxes... the

    Was thinkin that myself. Do what the rest of us do...pay for a ticket and catch them on rod and line!!!

    Have you thought about stripping the stock...filling any gaps around the join and refinishing the stock?

    In hot low water conditions the fish can sulk in the deeper pools and can be lethargic as the water becomes stale. A drop in temperature and a freshet brings them on again ;-)

    The older Marquis's are still quite common so it won't be worth a lot. It will only be worth the same as others are selling for and depending on condition. Ebay is a decent guide as a lot of people sell older Hardy gear on there. A general guide with the the older Hardy gear is...if there's a lot about then the price will be low...if they're scarce then you'll get a higher price ;-)

    wild Excellent. A cracking fish in anyone's book ;-)
  23. AirgunGuy
    Well done mate. Are they stocked fish or wild?
  24. AirgunGuy
