    Show us your Guns!

    An old .303 Lee Enfield that has been converted to 7.62. Used monthly by club members including myself, so Iron sights for 600 yards makes me enjoy my shooting. With my watch to highlight the wonderful colour of the wood, the strap is Hirsch honey brown so you get an idea.

    Two Lancaster bomber planes fly together for first time in 50 years

    I saw these two this week, I was driving from Towster and saw them overhead, nearly crashed the car gawping at them, fantastic sight.

    Auction of WWII Vehicles draws crowds and cash.

    Horace, I always fancied driving around in a kubelwagen but a tank would be good defence against white van man!

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    They are great quality and a super knife for the price. I have one that I use all the time and the blade is rather black from sweet chestnut wood. It is a really great little tool and I have leather sheath for mine rather than the plastic one it came with. A true giant for bushcraft work.

    Homesteading

    I hope you have passed those skills and lessons on young man! My biggest regret is not learning wood turning from my grandfather and taking his lathe of him when he felt too old to use it and so he sold it. I was a young man more interested in going out at the time. As I said a big regret, we...

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    I do not own this knife but I really wish I did. I have a friend who is a gentleman blacksmith and through him I found out about Gullinbursti AKA Petr Floriánek, who makes in my mind real adventure treasure, the sort I would love to discover following an expedition ;)...

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    If you can find a wood with a high tannin content or similar plant that has a high tannin to darken the blade and your fingers,sorry I cannot help with a tree name for your state. My sisters are fine thank you young man and the upside cakes are just dandy :-) You must post a pic when done

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    try using it with sweet chestnut wood, the tanning will colour the blade, carving a few spoons, bash a pegs, etc, soon give the blade a story.
