immerse the timber lengthwise into water, do not totally let go. Mark where the water level got to. Divide the wet length by the dry length and multiply by a thousand. This will accurately measure the number of kilograms per cubic metre. Hamish, Tasmanian Oak is a trade name for a number of similar ...

so she really was a child bride.

Have a wonderful day Hobblelong and Heather

alcohol does not dissolve crystals Grant? Then it is really lucky for you that one of your mates is a pest controller matey. They usually prescribe an anticoagulant. I have 10 kilo drums of that with pictures of dead rats on them. I could give you a free serve or two......save some bucks...just thin...

all the best Grant.

Firstly bamboo has been used for arrows and bows for a long time. Secondly these are sealed by most and resealed if necessary otherwise they would get heavier being hygroscopic. Houses are not climate controlled environments or as controlled as you would like to think. I have measured the moisture c...

That sort of bow should be very appealing to re-enactors I would think.

I made a gauge to mark on each blank end to make sure I was putting the shaft into each point the same distance each time. It was simply a piece of timber that I marked. I then cut a piece of tube that would fit over the shaft. I then used that to mark each shaft with a pencil to make sure I fitted ...

looked like they were using broad heads.
Could add extra dimension to their term sharpshooter.

Grahame, the family normally have problems getting me interesting things/gadgets as I normally go get them myself. This is something I would never have thought of to get as with cameras I need really good macro and I already have a number of cameras that do macro and movies. The waterproof aspect an...

naaa

leave the rattler for your family.......nice of you to be so generous though.

Bad luck having a birthday so near Christmas Rob. t least you were not called Noel or Pax like a cousin of mine. My sister's birthday is today and she got sick of getting the explanation of getting "combined" presents and parties.

Have a good one matey.

Kevin

I got one of those Go Pro cameras you can attach to a helmet or use under water. I want to use it primarily to take clips for work training but my first use will be trying to take moving pix of shooting arrows. It will not be slow motion but I figure it will still be interesting. Grahame, I thought ...

My father gave me my first rifle when I was twelve and we both hunted together on the family farms up near Watson's Creek. My wife was first generation city [prior generations were country folk]. She had a love of the country, camping and fishing [she asked for fishing gear for her wedding present a...

Mitsubishi Delica 4wd vans from Springwood motors with roof racks. Put a side roll out canopy. Second hand and around $19,000.
7 seaters. Do the timing belt every 100,000 k. Seats all on rails can be reconfigured as a full length bed.

Excellent.

I started using tied on old thread for target archery 5 years ago....never regretted it.

Kevin

good day. My people had farms at Watson's Creek on the Manilla Road. They got out when a 0.22 cartridge almost cost more than a sheep. I bought a lovely 0.303/0.25 SMLE from a gunsmith from a store in a little town near Armidale [little bit south]. Still have it. My 35 yo son hogs it. Great area for...

ahhhh the joys of pencil on scan card oops do not drop them.......ahhh the joy of writing in FORTRAN WAT IV /V........the joy of booking time on the main computer..........the phone call from the computer geek complaining that I did something that made the computer spit every one else's cards out al...

0.38 calibre spent cartridge cases with a bit of lead in them work well. I have also used 0.303 cases with even more lead shot/split sinkers.

Not hard to find someone using firearms with a few extra pieces of brass.

Kevin

not to mention you can even turn your broken bow into a walking stick.
What classification does your walking stick fall into Grant? Semi stick? Semi self?

Kevin

As I said.......horse/nag/pony has bolted.

it is worse when crawling in the roof or subfloor coming around an L corner and you come face to face. I would not have won that race. Each time the snake flared up then settled. Hard to crawl backwards. Gets your attention real quick. I remember hearing one lady talking to her husband on the phone ...

The horse has bolted. We do not get to decide. Look at all the long bows our Chinese friends are selling on Flea bay. Being accurate in descriptions maintains previous folks views on names. After thousands buy Chinese longbows, whatever we say now will be forgotten because of the weight of numbers w...

Would certainly help to have a consistent draw if you are fully engaged and the string just touches your nose.

Kevin

Steve could have made your little folk some bows and arrows.

Kevin

Big problem with those self loading quivers is your mates stand next to you freeloading and the arrows do not self adjust for spine.......they fly everywhere and then they bitch about dodgey arrows.

Kevin

Wondered when you would have a sniff Andy. I would love a Border too but they are just a bit too heavy for this bloke. Great bows.

Been there. Fixed it but really cannot say if what I did was the only way but it worked for me. Others may be able to tell you the whys and wherefores. When I used to shoot my best in the zone scores with arrows touching on the butt I had one cut in one line where that happened. I just kept re openi...
