  1. Can anyone recommend a decent first aid kit to keep with our Cooper, hopefully a future comrade on shoots. Believe it or not he is actually a F2 Cockapoo, less poo than Cocker methinks.

    We spray any cuts, grazing or light skin injuries with sheep foot spray, never had an infection as a result yet but the purple patch looks a bit strange.
  2. Hi,
    Sorry about your bad news but you may well have had a lucky escape, although difficult to see just now.

    The chances are you have analysed the situation correctly but it could be down to his wife controlling the money side, loss of a contract, downturn in work due to the weather or him putting out job offers that the company just can't sustain.

    You will find your place, my wife is a self employed blacksmith and has had a few fleeting comments, strange looks and women saying "you can make me that at home" openly to their husbands whilst looking at stuff at fairs etc, normally a item that takes a lot of skill and effort.
    People are just bells and I think although most people would think not in 2021 a woman in a perceived "man's world" will at some point encounter an icy reaction.

    Chin up dude and look forward to finding the right team where you will fit in with no animosity from anyone.

  3. Tell her if she catches her shin with it she will know about it for the next 2 weeks.
     
    And if she blunts it on a stone she has to sharpen it!
    She's a blacksmith so sharping it should be ok, for someone who spends all day swinging a hammer this pick is causing some difficulty, what is the trick?
  4. Hi, probably a stupid question but any tips for my lady to get handy with the log Pick I brought her? She has the modern aluminium70cm handle type and she's looking at  shifting fire logs out the way as I cut them ready for splitting.
