Looks fine to me - as long as it was tasty 👍

I know it’s a bit of a cliché, but a pupil at my high school lost an eye when someone shot him with a Gat Gun, so they’re certainly not toys! But like a lot of people, my first ever experience with guns was with a Gat Gun that I pleaded with my folks to buy me at a local market. Many hours were spent shooting that thing in the back garden, especially in winter, when i’d blatt snowmen with it 😂

Watched the British version, then had a look at the U.S. version, which has a few seasons already. The U.S. version seems a bit more ‘hardcore’, with a $500k prize. We watched season 6 and the temperatures were -15 Celsius at times. Well worth a watch.

It does make you wonder. My cartridge bag should have had GRR on it 🫣

That dry stone wall/dyke is pretty much photo-realistic! very impressive indeed 👍

That stuff was used on our garden slabs three years ago - looked nice for the first while but as mentioned, starts to loosen and dislodge. We’ve had it replaced in parts a couple of times. It’s easy enough to do but I’d rather not have to!

Icaruski?

Check out Tuin - we’ve had two log cabins (3m x 3m) from them - one made with 28mm “logs” and the other was 40mm. Very substantial construction and stay very cosy. They do more utilitarian buildings, too.

So true. Who wants to be reminded of a pathetic quartet of pigeons.

How awful. Did you take a photo?

Times have been lean recently, but i’ve had a few £5ish wins over the past few days… Here’s what i’m up to so far…

Thanks all, I was asking a joiner chap we have working at the house and he had advised similar to above - I’m now sorted 🙂

Yep, woodwasp. I found one in a wooden pallet and nearly sh@t myself 😂 The long appendage at the rear is its egg-laying device, I believe

That’s what I get for buying my DIY gear at the pet shop 🤔

I need a hand sander and some decent quality 80/120 grit paper. I’m fed up of buying packs of awful quality sandpaper and want to get some that will last a bit longer. It’s more for tidying edges rather than intricate work. What are the best options from the DIYers or craftsmen on here please? 🙂

It is. No carts left 🙂

Open to offers to get this nice little gun away 🙂

Would you even need a welder?

Get some ABS plastic (cut into tiny pieces - ABS 3d printing filament is ideal) And some 100% acetone. Fill a small glass jar with the ABS bits and just cover with acetone. Leave overnight with lid on until all the ABS has dissolved. Pour away any excess clear acetone and you’re left with a toothpaste-consistency molten plastic, which you can push into the cracks. It will harden in no time as the acetone quickly evaporates.

Maybe try some skeet (if your ground has the option ) - The consistency of the targets will help you see if you’re improving over time. I’ve seen guys taking 20 or more shots at the same target and missing every time but once it “clicks” where they should be shooting, how much lead, etc, they crack them much more consistently. If your targets are changing every time you visit, you won’t get familiar with them.
