orate fellas?

I,m Stu,...

i,m 38 , i sit behind a desk for a living.

i stare longingly out of my office window at the field, hills and trees,..oh and M62,..

i have two kids, a wife, a 4x4, a motorbike and a garage where i like to "play"

i,m very much into bushcraft and like to practice some skills in a local wood where i also kip out in my tarp/hammock set up,..carving, staff making and fire craft are amongst my current projects,.

And i have just discovered knife making,...this is my latest drug,..i have half made blanks and rehandling projects all over the place,..

from saw blades, files and anything made from decent steel.

anyway,...i hope to learn, and contribute as best i can,.....

oh i also have a daft side and like to (try) and make folk laugh,...

so i'm Raikey! or Stu,...its up to you


cheers

Hello & welcome to NBC forum :)

Don't we all, I used in live in Cornwall - which was stunning for outdoors, but now I've moved up to Plymouth - so it's nothing but city, Dartmoor isn't too far away though!

If you're into knife making, and you haven't done so already - do check out Greenpete's knife making DVD / videos: http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/resources/greenpetes-knife-making-video-stream-or-download-the-dvd.html OR http://www.greenpete.co.uk/knife-making/ - a very comprehensive and compelling guide to knife making from the bare basics.

Get stuck in and join the community :)

All the best,
Ryan

Hi Stu - welcome to the forum buddy

Sounds like you have a life very similar to mine, except for the kids and 4x4 :)
