    Was that the bit of a dig you mentioned?

    Well, as you can see from the above, I've had a go at this elusive box. It all started with the post about anyone making bow back boxes in the Leeds area. The only idea of concept was from the box he ended up buying which I thought looked very heavy. This was not a criticism merely an observation. So to the workshop with a hasty scribble. I kept thinking about that comment ' if a job's worth doing it's worth doing it right'. So a frame, made from a light hardwood, glued and screwed. Used 4mm plywood for the carcass which was made easier using my table saw. Remembered to leave the ends extra lo

    Working down in the wood department yesterday and I heard the incessant crooning of the male blackbird reassuring his/her young. Yep, full nest and yet no leaf cover on the hawthorn. Good luck to the little beggars. It's official. Spring is here.

    Pic of the coloured eggs for Devon Fighter. They do look good. Found out the other day that one of my cream legbar point of lay pullers is a cockerel. Mighty handsome bird.

    Grandest thing ever came to me by accident. Guy came to fetch a ferret and brought a cat carrier with him. You know the one, plastic shell, wire front and a carry handle. Cutting a long story short, he left with a bleeding finger and no cat carrier. It's great. Nice and light and you can take a single box with you instead of a mollocking great triple.

    Thanks Gaz. See you Frid/Sat. As you've probably guessed there is a belt loop on the back and it is treated with Nilwax. Should be ok for someone. I'm thinking blade of about 3.1/2" - 4". Jok.

    Well Griff, I finished the sheath. My Boker fits snug as a bug.. Sewing ain't gonna win no rosettes but not bad for a first. As I said in the PM it's yours for the sake of a return address. Might give your lad some ideas on the rest of the wife's handbags or indeed them high boots.mmm. Anyway, if you want just pm me. I'm looking forward to your further adventures with the knives among other things. Jok.

    Oh matethis has got me going in a new direction. I've plenty venison and other bits and bobs so reckon it's a go. Not only terry but Gaz will be watching what happens. Good post and what a lovely result. Jok.

    Might be worth sourcing some of the breeds that lay green/ blue shelled eggs. They look great with the standard brown and white eggs and generally the birds have nice plumage. Cream leg bar is one to look for. Good luck Matty.

    I hope someone knowledgable answers this as I too have had rabbits with a clear sac full of white eggs. I've noticed this on the legs just underneath the skin and also inside the back legs, both when gutted. Only seen it once before so would like to know.

    Gaz insisted we stood at intervals along the length of the area we were working and just flapped about a bit if one bolted. Seemed to work but not much cop if you are on your own. I think Gaz was surprised how well we had done.

    The topic is Living off the land and we do end up with a fair bit of white meat lol. Bring it on.
