Spatch the breast meat as soon as you shoot them and throw the rest to feed the other wildlife. All you need is a knife and a plastic bag. It also saves having to carry a lot of ex birds back to your camp. Nice fried with a little garlic. 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pm Mr Wolf with a request I'm certain he'll be able to sort something out for you. Alternatively Pigeon 'R Us might be good place to start.

Popular Post KNP Posted March 13, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2023 Barge update Steady progress on the standing rigging, will post pictures when I am at a point that I am happy to post but here is a flavour of what to expect ( I hope). How to turn tweezers into a mini vice by putting them in a bigger vice!!! Each of those pulley blocks are 3mm….! 12 1 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted March 13, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2023 We’ll be happy to.watch the Pigeon and Toads go past slowly while you concentrate on that. It counts as microsurgery and you’ll need to lie down for a bit after that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cottage looks more and more like my grandparents cottage in Sturmer on the Suffolk / Essex borders. There's wasn't thatched and didn't have the brick extension on the side, but the atmosphere it creates is very similar. All it needs is some beehives at the backend a "Honey For Sale" sign by the gate! Lovely scene Kevin... could be at Pendon... in which case that's probably Roye England staring over the gate! 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted March 14, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Buccaneer update. Finished most of the standing rigging today, applied some more glue on the knots to reinforce so I don't end up with them unravelling in the future. Now the initiated would have spotted there are two backstays missing, the Topmast running (from the very top of mast to the deck) and the Main Mast running (from just under the crosstrees to the deck) as both of these end up about half to two thirds from the bow and would get in the way of fitting the sails. so they have been left off for now until all the work inboard is done. What I always find with rigging is slow, steady and plan ahead. Next, furled sails - that'll be a first so I need to have a think on how to do them????
