  1. The blokes onto a good little earner on there, i would have thought the primaries would have been sold easily but even those sets he does of downy feathers and a few others thrown in fetch a few bob my £26 gone on some braided jesses from ayrshire taxidermy, and a tail crimp set of my own, money well spent though i think
  2. Mines pink too lol, i put in a comfort liquid bottle, How i did it was line my tin with tin foil then oil it, put the squares in and wait an hour then when they have melted take the tin foil out and flip it over then pull the tinfoil off and clamp down the mould, would have worked better for me but i didnt have any g clamps and me being impatient i just put a breezeblock on top lol
  3. Mines going to be probably 4 inch long and 3 inch wide. Im saving up the milk bottles to make a proper catty 6-7 milk bottle should do me
  4. First catty sanded, stained, finished with super glue and banded up, doesnt look too bad if i say so myself. Pics to follow first thing in the morning yet to start work on my hdpe block but should be done in the next few days
  5. I can remember the thread about that with the pic of your smoking mircrowave lol, i would have been thrown out for doing that
  6. I know what you mean mate, not many use catapults for hunting, most are just paper punchers ha, still though theres a wealth of knowledge on there
  7. What bird are you flying, i just spend a week walking the bird on the fist to get him used to everything again, drop his weight slowly until i get a response im happy with, then train him like you would a new bird, except it will be quicker as he has done it all before, usually takes two weeks from start to finish
  8. Hows it going over there crowhawker? Bet the dogs are knackered ha
  9. Lol didnt mean it like that though i wouldnt even know you're gone
  10. Have a look on the slingshot forum there will be a tutorial on there
  11. Well i ended up with £26 for the set, the american women decided to take her chance with the auction, then fecking missed the end then the other person never got back to me, ah well still £26 i didnt have and got for nothing

      It is a hard life walking 30 seconds to one of my permissions lol

  13. Yes bud, you have flying weights, hunting weight and fat weight, currently most birds are at fat weight in order to achieve a clean moult (replacing damaged feathers that happened last season) then around now the birds need to be retrained and brought back down to flying weight
  14. How long now before your birds will have finished do you recon, im waiting on the last tail feather to come down and im all done, i had to resist taking him out early was going to start in a week but managed to hold myself off lol Carnt wait now !!! That creance is looking better everyday, hard to keep my hands off it ha
  15. Mould cooled enough to have a good look, i think i need more practice lol, out of about a 6 x 8 inch block only 5x4 inch is actually workable lol, Ah well make do with what ive got a micro catty is in order, pics to follow later in the week
  16. Disater averted, block doesnt look too bad, another 40 mins and i will be able to see what ive made, will do the catty tommorow, thanks for the help
  17. Right hdpe squares are in the oven its been an hour but still they havent melted, help!
  18. Its a compression mould not a catty shaped, its actually made of an old broken ferret box as you will see with the half bow in the mould lol. Might try a catty mould though maybe fimo clay would work, mould around a catty then bake in the oven until it sets then put the hdpe into the mould to cool
  19. Well you said a grouse was just a bonus so your not doing bad for the first day ha, keep us updated !
  20. Will do tommorow had to make do with what i had at hand as im one of these that want everything yesterday lol It will do for tommorow until i can sort out a better one
