Attached are the knife in a reasonable state of completion and the wet formed sheath for it with a fire steel holder as well. Rob P.

I just planted Beetroot, some Spuds, and Butternut Pumpkin in new raised beds last week, so nothing to show from that lot. Not enough soil, but ran out and CovID has restricted access to all except expensive stuff. But I do have 24 Broad Bean plants with the beans just starting to fill out and...

Did you tackle the knife making Wishfull? I too have developed an interest but didn't want to go the whole hog of setting up a furnace at least to start with, to do all the heat treating work. So I am playing with making a small (3.5" blade) knife from an old file, as it is already hardened...

I have had a Leatherman Sidekick for many, many years, and yes they are great and have a lifetime guarantee. One of the springs that keep the unit shut broke and so I had just put it aside for a couple of years until I saw the lifetime guarantee, so sent it off to them and they replied did I...

I have had that app on my default screen, ever since I got my Samsung S9 several years ago, plus I also have the First Aid and Vic Emergency apps on the same screen. Just being safe. Rob P.

A bit off the topic of the original poster, but despite having adequate solar on my van, I still always carry my Honda 20I. Even though I have never used it for my own needs it has been often used to help others in need. Rob P.

I believe that JX is 59. Surely if you look at your phone the Alpha codes will be shown for each number. But this is not a mnemonic of course. 1 - 2 - ABC 3 - DEF 4 - GHI 5 - JKL 6 - MNO 7 - PQRS 8 - TUV 9 - WXYZ 0 - Rob P.

I believe that in Victoria there have been restrictions put in place on some post services, but as has already been said, it shouldn't be the case for an essential service. Australia Post has a CovID Worksafe plan for Australia, but Victoria has its own version, and in one extra statement it...

I have no legal background whatsoever, but I think that it will depend on the age of the equipment, reasonable wear & tear and a range of associated factors, but there are many products supplied that you can't get parts for so Buyer Beware. The link is from consumer affairs Vic, but check the...

You are most welcome. I will pull together a bit more info in an Email that may assist. Rob P.

Did you put extra leather along where the rivets are located, basically shaped to the curve of the knife (called a welt), or did you just rivet the folded leather pieces together? What a welt does is it give the blade a soft leather piece to rest on so that it doesn't rest on and cut the side...

The leather came from Leffler Leather, 171 Kensington Rd, West Melbourne VIC 3003, but they were closed and still are to visit due to CovID19, but you can order online for delivery. I actually purchased a quarter of a hide as I wanted to make quite a few axe masks and other stuff as well. It was...

If you were a bit closer I would offer to make a simple plain leather one for you as I have only been doing axe masks and am not into fancy stuff (yet) and don't have a knife to make a sheath for. The sheath needs to have a solid leather welt on the side where the sharp edge sits, preferably...

I know we are in a different country, but during the CovID19 period in Melbourne, I have had 5 parcel deliveries that required a signature, and they were just left either in the letterbox or at the front door. For only two of those left at a door did they ring the bell but they just dropped them...

Make your own leather sheath, it is that difficult, just Google it. I have made leather axe masks as CovID19 lockdown activity, after restoring five axes/tomahawks, as they were too darned sharp to not protect them. But I had done little of that nature in the past. Rob P.

I rather like basic leatherwork and have made 5 axe & tomahawk masks as part of axe restoration work I have done over the last 6 months. But doing the fancy stuff is not my cup of tea. That knife is a real thing of beauty. Rob P.

I don't really care but somewhere in General Chat would be more appropriate. Rob P.

Sorry, accidentally put in the wrong section, can a mod move it to a more appropriate spot. Rob P.

Bananas Pass the Banana A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on - This is interesting. After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again...

I have the following "cheat sheet" available near each landline phone and use it as a prompt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, please be aware that this call is being recorded for the possible identification of...
