You should be safe if you don't over indulge, I used to live on stuff like that. When I hit the 50 mark, my body sent me a message... it was fun while it lasted but you better slow down!

I think that is a great idea . What does that give you then of actual usable hand length then ??? Really like your Old Encore . Color of the bone , jigging , and worm grooves and all that other good stuff .

Thanks for the compliment on the Encore, Harry.
The useable handle length will be 4 3/8" which leaves the blade a tad over 3"
 
Thank you Leon and Jack who had mentioned earlier today
Just finished baking some pumpkin sourdough ( pepitas inside too :) ) to give away tomorrow to some folks around town we have not seen in a while.
Happy 🇨🇦 Thanksgiving :)

ey up its not looking so grim up north,it was at times when I was a kid in Whitby.

2 questions.

Have you discovered Altberg boots,I expect so.

The mining stall you mentioned have you ever seen a snap tin there?

Are you a son of Whitby Johnny? Plenty of Whitby content, both in this thread, and on The Porch generally. There's even a thread or two :thumbsup: Don't forget this is the Lambsfoot thread though, despite all the gossip :D ;) :thumbsup:

I know them, but don't have a pair. I used to be a professional gear tester, so have a large stock of boots, and I now have foot problems, the two things kind of go together unfortunately :eek:

Dealers rent small glass cabinets at that antique centre, so they tend to display relatively small, high value items in the limited space :thumbsup:

Great hikes Jack and John. We went out today too, looking for some snow for Dan... Here's a tease until we make it home.

Altberg boots are excellent. Some of their range are made in Yorkshire and some in I think it's either Italy or Romania. They're the current manufacturer for the current British Army assault boot.

They do deliver abroad but Lord knows how the conversion for boot sizes between countries would work out. Before I recently bought a replacement pair for these one's (Altberg Tethera) I e-mailed Altberg to ask them if they'd changed their sizes, (as many footwear manufacturers have in recent years) and was told they hadn't and that they still used the original lasts. But on receipt of the the new boots found they didn't fit and had to replace them. :rolleyes: If your not ordering in the UK that could be quite a bind to sort out.

Nice pic David :) That's really annoying about the Altberg sizing though, I've had exactly the same thing happen myself. Footwear sizing is really all over the place, and there's also a difference between British feet and European feet (not sure where American feet fit in), which has often caused issues with imported boots. My shoe size is a British 11, but I often find myself having to go up to a '13' or more in a boot, because they've got the sizes completely wrong :rolleyes:

Just fine, Jack, thanks. Was sick for a while back in August with that thing that's been going around, but am fine now. Celebrating 30th wedding anniversary tomorrow, and birthday Wednesday (with Cudgee!). Gonna be a good week!

I'm very sorry to hear that Vince, I hope you weren't laid low too long, and that you're fully recovered now (and full of beans ;)). Happy Anniversary to you and your good lady wife, that's quite a milestone my friend :) Hope you have a great birthday too :) :thumbsup:

I think a custom Lambsfoot is a great idea :cool: :thumbsup:

Wow Dan, your bread looks fantastic :) I'm sure your friends are going to be absolutely thrilled :) I hope you have a great day :thumbsup:

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone had a great weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to all our resident Canucks, I hope we're going to see a few more photos showing your happy day :) Happy Anniversary to Vince ( Prester John Prester John ) and his missus, have a lovely day :thumbsup: WHT WHT , I hope you're comfortable, and I'm sure you're in everyone's thoughts here :thumbsup:

I'm starting my week off with my regular Hartshead Barlow, it's always a bit of an effort not to carry this one to be honest :rolleyes: Have a good week Guardians :thumbsup:

Good morning John, that's another great pic my friend :) :thumbsup:

My internet connection seems to be running like cold molasses today, and since that's interfering with my work, and it's another nice day here, I thought I'd make a start on a walking staff I said I'd make for a friend's kid ;) She wants the bark leaving on, so it shouldn't take me too long. The tenon saw I bought from my mate might be OK on soft wood, but it's not sharp enough for seasoned ash :rolleyes: I cut it to size, took off the knots, and started rounding the top. Everytime I sit outside whittling, or working on a stick, folks stop and chat to me about it. Seems just about everyone likes the idea of making a stick! :D :thumbsup:

Great to see you here Kevin :) I hope you're doing well my friend :) Your Oxhorn Lambsfoot seems to look better with age :cool: :thumbsup:

Cross thread quoting from your Whitby thread that you mentioned earlier Jack :)
I loved the story :thumbsup: (and the final sentence struck a cord with me ;):))
I must find the movie now too !
Click to expand...
I had to think where that had come from at first Dan (I'm easily confused these days)! :D I'm glad you liked the thread, I used to post them regularly, but the forum changes before last put a stop to that unfortunately, and scrambled a lot of the text :( Apparently the movie is pretty rubbish, they really need to make a better one :) :thumbsup:
