No problem mate, we will hopefully see you next year. A couple of others didn't come either so there were more strippers for us to enjoy

Looks like Tom's collapsible travel oven. I'm not sure what's on top, but anything Tony cooks usually looks ... ummm ... well done :whistle:

The turd looking thing is a paint stripping disk off Sparkys battery grinder.
Ah a flap wheel or brillo pad with balls👍

The card axe thing... hmmm. The spear bit worked though I'm not sure what useful purpose it served. The other bit took a lot of (not my) effort to lash in to the stick, performed OK at clearing brambles but you'd never have cut a tree down with it. The saw was rubbish, it just clogged up and required cleaning almost every stroke. More irritatingly it cut through the lashing cord. We did break it whilst batoning but you need to split logs somehow! I was surprised that it snapped rather than bending. The grind on the blade was a bit shonky out of the packet, but it sharpened up easily enough. The edge was very easy to ding.
Aside from that, a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. Sparky even showed me round his car boot which was a great privilege. I even bought myself some rust of my very own :)

Well I did make it home but the journey didn't go quite to plan. I set off later than hoped (too hot to move), and got slower and slower in the heat. Coupled with problems with one of my tyres it meant that I'd only done about 35 miles in 3 hours and want going to make it home before about 10 o'clock. So I phoned my wife to come and rescue me. :D
Anyway, thanks to the guys for a great weekend. :like:
Smart move, Chris. Glad you didn't get yourself into too much trouble.
Looks like another excellent meet, chaps. :cheers:
Post by: Sparky415 on August 27, 2019, 06:53:54 PM
I don't know what your problem was Chris it was only 37 degrees c in the sun and you only had about 100 miles to ride (all down hill!) :ahhh
Glad you got home OK Mate!

- And how generous you all were with tool gifts and food :D
