Yeah it's 15mm. I'm going to add a short length of plastic/rubber so the water can be directed downwards as it coms out horizontally with some force; that tank (we have two) is 1200L!

Your kind of cake Pete 😉

Nice warm dry morning Out to local for tea tonight 🥳

Sorry. I’ve let the side down.

Morning! Dry but it’s been damp through the night. Last day on this job, it’s like paradise working in this little estate behind the electric gates, hopefully get back for phase 2 soon.

Same was said of the Samurai sword ...

Morning Jase and Bob . Clear blue sky . Currently 8c with a predicted high of 16c

Tops were all the same height, no central anchor higher than the points being cut.

Good morning all and happy Friday 😊

Day 5 and the last early start till next Tuesday Cool and quiet. Hope it stays that way. Happy Friday and maybe get to pop out later on with the Herberts for a jar. Have a great Friday and a great weekend.

i had a quote from a solicitor a couple of weeks back for a litigation matter and it was £265 plus vat per hour

Think that was a bit of an urban myth 😀

Usually the two smaller knifes served different functions, one was blunt (chakmak) and used for removing burrs from the main blade and the other was a small utility knife (Karda).

🤷‍♂️ Mind you the one industry that is doing well under his tenure is the arms manufacturing sector, plenty of blood being spilt and dollars made under Joe.

forgot to say that folk law/tradition says that if you take it out of the scabbard it has to draw blood before you put it back

I used to have one Compleat with scabbard and 2 throwing knives it somehow disappeared quit a few years ago

My kukri which has spent a few shifts in the woods.

I much prefer the caulked handles too. I find the round section ones feel all wrong, much less directional control. I don't think caulked handles are expensive now @openspaceman Not much more than a fiver when I see them in agricultural suppliers normally. Made from decent Ash too, (not like a lot of tool handles these days, that feel like rubber and no doubt come from the other side of the world).

Found the bill hook in a field by a stone dyke wall, well rusted and no sign or remnants of any handle, the tang is 6” long with no signs of it being peened over in its past life, although I do see the logic in that and I do have two kukri’s with the tang peened over.

The shaped one, a bit like a pistol grip, the oval section also give one a feel that the orientation of the blade to the target is right.

Yes, that's the kind of thing I need. Is that 15 or 22mm cu pipe? I figured that 15 would be too small, but maybe not.
