I have for sale some brand new galvanised weld mesh sheets. Each sheet is 7'3" x 3'6" and are very very heavy duty. The sheets are £10 each and are situated in west Yorkshire. Could be delivered to a reasonable distance for diesel costs.

Having seen felt and rabbit skin, I assume that the fur was shaved to make it short? Sorry if I'm being a bit dense here, but I have never associated rabbit skin with felt, was all felt made from rabbit skin? Rabbit fur was originally used to make bowler hats for gamekeepers, to protect them from a crack over the head by poachers, the original hard hat you might say. It was an extremely skillfull job, the fur goes through all kinds of processing to make the felt, before being crafted into a hat, it's not something you could consider as a home hobby really.

I've always used an old B&D heat gun for straightening, you can hold it as near or far away as needed to vary the heat, then just bend them over my knee and check them by eye looking down the stick, might not be to everyone's taste, but it works for me. I use a lot of casting resin for inserting badges etc and recently came across a mate who works for a firm making baths, and they use resin by the tonne, so I get a free supply now which saves me a fortune, it's not water white like the stuff I was buying, but has a slight amber tone, which actually looks very nice. A good site for anyone interested in stickmaking is Highlandhorn.com beats Attleborough Accessories hands down

I take it theres loads about then lol ok will a 15ft collar work on an 8ft box?? Yes mate, the 15' collar will work no probs, but the calibration on the wheel will be out, if you're going to use the box only with a 15' collar, then you can get a new sticker from Deben and swap it over, you'll get used to it though if you leave it as it is. When you ring Deben they'll want to charge you 3.50 for a new wheel and sticker kit, just tell them you ONLY want the sticker and they'll most probably send you one free, they have done for me, more than once.
