The TRADITIONAL sunday picture show!!!!

Thanks Gary, I think that's part of the mechanism for operating the sluice gates on a canal lock, the cut-out is to allow regular greasing of the bearing, though the cut-out is usually quite plain. The 14 mile section of canal we walked yesterday drops a lot, and so there are numerous locks and several lock ladders (or staircase flight), including this five-rise flight.



The flight where the photo of my Charlow is taken has four steps, and there are two others with three. Must be an exhausting trip!





Thanks Mr G. Most of the blackberries went in a big crumble, most of it got eaten last night, but I've just had a piece for after my lunch, and I might be able to squeeze in the last portion later ;)

Love the pictures buddy!

Jack, have you ever been to the Falkirk wheel? It's an engineering masterpiece, uses the same electricity as a light bulb would.

I wanted to post this in the Saturday Stag Show thread, but didn't get a chance to take a pic yesterday. I'll show it here because there's a good chance that I'd forget about it by next Saturday.

The 2009 BF Traditional Forum knife was by far my favorite, so far. D2 clip and Wharncliffe blades, awesome stag that was anonymously donated by one of our forum members, Queen mark on the clip blade, S&M mark on the Wharncliffe, 3.5" closed. Fit and finish is exceptional.

Great looking knife
 
ISKski, That's a fine looking knife from Mr. Smith. I've admired his work for years. I have to own one of his someday.
 
Wow, VERY nice sir. Can you tell us more?

It's well worth a visit. I love really simple yet effective engineering. Had a busy day at work today, and I'm catching the early ferry to Barra tomorrow where I'll be working the rest of the week. Assuming the ferry sails. Weather here is getting pretty rough.
