  1. Good evening all... Finally killed my old set of bottoms, so would like some recommendations on some breathable waterproof bottoms that are hard wearing to use when out beating? Cheers roadkill
  2. Good evening pal, Would be really interested in a place for next year and happy to be part of the work parties, if you want a chat happy to send you my number. All the best Jamie
  3. I think you are right looking at it, I will just try and get it Sharpe again 😉 Great information, so when you say the 600 and 1000 grit, are these the whetstone on ebay? I will give this a go to protect it for longer
  4. This knife use to belong to my granddad, it was used each Sunday to calve the roast joint and brings back some happy memories of spending time with him and the family around the table usually enjoying a meal where most of it had come from his garden.. After he passed away I had the knife to use at home with my family... However as you can see its looking sorry and is now quite blunt, to be honest looking at the knife I'm not even sure it's a carving knife.... Could someone advise on what I would need to get the metal looking shiny, restoring some colour back into the handle and also what I would need to sharpen it? Also any recommended you tube vids on the correct sharpening technique? I looked on you tube but there is so many different ways and with different tools.. Cheers Roadkill
  5. Cheers both, any recommendations on a mig unit? Just looked on ebay and it's like a mine field
  6. Quick update, she's 90% done and looking like new again, hopefully she will be on the road and attending local shows by the end of this month. I would like to take some credit for the rebuild but I cannot, life changed and I ended up in a new role at work which meant spending 75% of the year in Europe away from the family and bike. I found a local ducati company in Coventry who have done the restoration rebuild.. I'm sure the bikers will love these pics
  7. 25 years ago I did my apprenticeship in welding and fabrication, I continued this trade for a few years until I moved into aviation and have been there ever since... I would like to start playing around and making a few different projects.. I would like to make things like the picture attached and wonder what kind of welding unit would be better... in my days it was all gas, mig and stick welding. I now see that tig is quite popular so really unsure what unit to purchase... Cheers Jamie
  8. My wife cleans up before the cleaner comes, I just don't get it!
  9. Rip Harnser, a top guy with some top posts
  10. Gone fishing tonight on bbc2, always makes me smile
  11. I was the same, had the AZ for jab 1 and 2 no issues. Then the booster was the moderna and my arm was that painful I lost use of it for two days, couldn't even lie on it in bed as it was that painful
  12. I will dig out my old lilo 😆
  13. **** law, I'm off France on Monday for a week then back out for the 13th.. so far it looks like a pcr on arrival into the UK and self isolate until I have the results..
  14. I don't ever print it off, always have the option to download to phone as pdf.. you just need to set up an account on the gov website then it's plain sailing from there on..
  15. I'm back in the UK on the 19th, so will definitely be dropping in on the 21st. Will look out for the black hat
  16. Good day Dunks, I didn't realise lakeside was open on Sundays... me and my mate should be there in a couple of weeks if you fancy a round Jamie
  17. Been travelling back and forwards between France and the UK, all I need to enter France is either proof of the double vaccination or a negative covid test. To enter the UK I have to fill out a passenger locator form and purchase a day 2 covid test
  18. Looks like angling direct is the next one to have been hit by the hackers and had user data compromised!
  19. 100% spot on, I think are generation is the last to enjoy such past times as hunting, fishing and even racing, such a shame my grandkids probably won't enjoy the same freedoms as myself. This post is a fine example that even us on the inside can't agree and this will eventually be our undoing and the end to all field sports
  20. Very sad to read this, my thoughts to his family and friends.. RIP
  21. roadkill

    DBS check

    I wouldn't even worry about it, I have to do a CTC ( counter terrorism check) and it's not flagged on there.
  22. Will add it to my must watch list, currently watching our Yorkshire farm on channel five, this is also a very good farming series
  23. Well it's certainly a strange year with the cold wet weather still continuing, but the chilli plants are still on the move! How's everyone else's looking?
