I thought it would be useful to start a thread where we can all share info and ask Questions about tools, tips and techniques. So whats in your carving kit other than your saws? do you have any handy info to help others or any Questions on carving. lets make this the one stop info shop to save trawling through hundreds of threads to try and fing an answer.

i was a pest controller for 8 years if you have power to your yurts then i would suggest UV electronic fly killers also try (red top fly traps) dotted around your site you also get repelent candles.

You also have to put black wheels fitted with Kuhmo KL71 tyres in 265 75 16. i got 53000 out of my last set and that was across the very worst terrain possibe and they are not to noisy on the road.

Oh Help im a trend setter. my landy is LR Vasouvios Orange. the same colour as the original supercharged Rangerovers and the 2007 Lr Ltd Ed Fire and Ice Landys. Slightly oxidised farmer blue also goes very well with black, thats what my last 90 was like. i will post a pick. You may all be interested to Know I am Planning to sell my orange one as i have changed jobs and am struggling to justify keeping it ( other than the fact it looks S**t hot.) Its done less than 5000 miles since i had it built. PM me for details.

What do people do in their spare time ?

me thinks we should change the name of this forum to bike and Gun talk. i dont know jack about bikes but i can talk guns all day. i had a big clear out recently but still have a CZ synth and stainles .22. Black synth Remington mod770 in .243. Howa m1500 with green over moulded Hogue stock in .25-06. two Webley and scott semi autos 12g and a 1903 Alex Henry side by side . I have an open FA licence which allows me to shoot any thing on anybodys land (with their permission) provided the caliber is deemed acceptable for that species. the joys of having owned a wildlife management company. to get foxes on your licence for your .22 or .17 all you have to do is have the qaurry code changed to vermin that covers just about every thing that isnt game. same goes for centerfire full bore rifles just ask for vermin and deer.:2gunsfiring_v1: -

that is very nice. i have never got around to doing a big deer carving yet which is kinda strange as i spent 8 years working with them and have named my son Roe. i did a coupe of little reindeer at christmas but they were only about a foot high. i love it when people post pics of things on here that i want to carve. keep up the good work tom

very nice:thumbup: i have only just started making mushrooms again. i must have made in excess of 2000 of them over the years and so stopped making them for a long time. but there is just something that always draws me back to them every now and then. oh wait that some thing is people offering me money to make them.

Took about an hour. it did have a ball on the top but i didnt like it so it got cut off. Monikieman im carving at the Inverkeilor Village fete a week on saterday (16th) if you are interested in coming to watch. i think there are a few other local carvers coming down to see me it would give you the chance to meet them. Also Angus chainsaw services will have their chainsaw museum there.
