Thanks Dan, after all the rain we've had, it's been nice to get a couple of fine days!
LOL!Sounds good, I haven't had a crisp butty in ages, might have to rectify that tomorrow
I don't think my mate from the tool-stall would try it though, when I told him you had gifted me a hamper of Lancashire goodies, he was quite appalled!

There is TONS of fallen wood there David! I guess there's a lot of woodland like that right now though
Have you got any pan supports for your burner? Let me know![]()
You have a better memory than me my friend, I had thought it was even less! Yes, a non-profit venture, and I actually under-priced them
I had some extras on the other plate too!![]()

That video is crazy! When he shot the antennae off of the grasshopperLike you,JaxBaron , I can occasionally hit a matchstick, but I have not been able to get a strike. Bill Hays isn't normal...
You should see his grasshopper video!
Skip if you're squeamish.

Thank you Jack. Yes I’m really loving my Gamekeeper PPMG+. Sheffield still has some great products to offer the world! The lambsfoot and proshot catapult is a great combo.That's incredible Jon!I can hit a Coke can at that distance!

Thanks Jack!
We had a good day, for sure. After presents in the morning the boys helped my neighbor make a side table for him to place his things when he gets home. He did most of the work, of course, but he let them help make a few cuts and do some painting. I was grateful. In our house the person whose birthday it is chooses the meal. My son wanted fried calamari, sushi, and fried mozzarella so my wife took him to the local seafood shop down on the bay and have been enjoying the variety of appetizers this evening.
I posted some rough sanded pictures earlier in a different thread but figured I’d post the completed pictures here. They’re A. Wright and Son

Here's some links to the other thread for those who want to see more
Morning Guardians, I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I was looking through my order books for all the SFOs we had last year, and it's a shame more of their owners no longer post here (or never did)Some of our other once-regular posters I miss too, I hope they're all OK
It rained in the night here, but is fine again today, if a little overcast. However, I have plenty of stuff to keep me busy indoors, might even get the time to do a little sharpening
Hope everyone has a relaxing and peaceful Sunday
