Take it easy Jay them bugs will linger on for weeks if you don't clear them up 100%.
What does your son do with so much horse power the old Austin Seven would be enough for me nowadays...
I'm busy with DIY at the moment, whoever lived here before me must have painted everything with a shovel, the old style sash windows are completely sealed with paint and I bet broken sash cords too...
I used to own several pencil sharpeners but I didn't see any when I packed ready to move I even had to borrow a pencil to mark the holes for the Rawl bolts of my gun safe I think I need to go shopping.
With my sons help I got my gun safe fitted, the walls in this 1700s house are two foot thick so it should be pretty secure. I've done a bit of sightseeing up on the Grouse moors and visited the nearest gun shop, afternoon walks around the lake and delicious dinners cooked by my daughter in law I've ...
The country is fine it's just full of idiots..... :x Just had a thought, whenever you go out shopping stop by the cutlery shop and buy a cheap 8 inch chefs knife to take home with you, with receipt of course. That way if some loony starts waiving HIS knife around you have one to waive right back at...
On the same vein, the knife Co. Spyderco makes really good knives with a variety of locking mechanisms, BUT they also make a line of slip joint knives aimed directly at England that makes it illegal to own anything else! :twisted: Most knives are legal to own in the UK but not for EDC on the street...

I put together a post yesterday but it disappeared. :o The new abode was built when the USA was being born late 1700s the walls are two feet thick and its much better than I expected. There is a lot of work to be done as the last tenant was a hillbilly and painted everything without using a brush......
I used to watch the stocker at Westley Richards bend stocks, what amused me was one piece of equipment was a broom used to prop up the stock in the clamping vice. Apparently it was just the right size and shape
Hot Linseed oil was used on cloth wrapped around the wrist of the stock.
Well I'm there at last 10.5 hours on the road, heavy rain and bank holiday traffic didn't help..BUT I'm back in business.. .
I can't find a darn thing as I forgot to label the boxes...
To me it shows a lack of common sense of both parties, the guy should have checked his luggage properly and the court should have seen his mistake was not with criminal intent.
If I should be MIA over the next few days it because I'm on the move and will be using my son's WiFi until I get connected.
I have moved house so many times over the years but it doesn't seem to get any easier, it does mean however that accumulated junk gets thrown out..
According to the comments there is a lot of interest in part two. Gun making has come a long way since the nineteenth century but its good to see classic firearms like the Winchester 86 still being made.
I am fascinated by the Matchlocks used during the English Civil War and the early colonization of North America, I have only ever handled Matchlocks from India and Japan neither of those types have any interest for me but European Matchlocks I find are more my cup of tea. I would love to see photos ...
That should hold the front wheels down and looks pretty neat too any project that doesn't require Duct Tape is high class...
By the way do not show those weights to anyone wearing a Buffalo coat.….
Whether justified or not telling Joe public how you go about killing innocent dogs or trophy lions is just dumb nowadays especially if you're looking for popularity. I'm busy packing and getting ready to move up North hopefully on Friday. Still cold and damp here, it seems to have been like that eve...
That's great :D it should give you years of service. The City of Birmingham had a Gun Quarter where all the different gunsmiths had their own shops or factories. It was dying when I was a kid but I remember walking past shopwindow after shopwindow down streets full of gun shops, all my first airguns...
Yes you are perfectly correct it was Tucson Arizona that the Beatle was singing about... I must be getting old mixing up real music with the Beatles rubbish...
No OS I never got to Winslow, I don't know if Paul McCartney ever went there either or if he just saw the name on a map.
I'm busy boxing everything up as I will be on my way this time next week..
Andy, there is always going to be a Cat vs Dog debate and I find it funny how people divide themselves as either Cat lovers or Dog lovers I was brought up with both Cats and Dogs but as I got older Dogs became more preferred as after all they are "mans best friend" even though at the time ...
Looks good Bill but it reminded me of the old joke " our grocery store has a sign saying don't sit your baby on the bacon slicer as we are getting behind in our orders".
I have used telephone poles for all sorts of jobs, if I saw the telephone company replacing poles I would be pestering them for the old ones before someone else got there.
Six I have to agree as to the offcuts being excellent kindling
You've got yourself a little piece of heaven there Jay to say I'm envious would be a big understatement... :mrgreen: All I have done today (St George's Day) is watch the Gestapo in London on YouTube, apparently if you are English or Jewish the Police/ Gestapo will arrest you walking down the street....
