  1. Habari Ganni Where in E/A, I was there in the early 80s, and loved it. I was at a place in Kenya called Rumurutti, nothing up there but a game farm. I was exploratory mineing, for Rio Tinto Zinc. I still have friends in Ken/Uga they would love to know of a blacksmith. I am originaly from UK, but I live in US now. Paul Hook. King George, Virginia, USA.

  2. Hi Matt Great suggestion about nail making, I am a restoration joiner making doors and windows etc, for historic mansions in Virginia. Hand made nails are like gold dust, the ACORN factory made nails sold under the "Tremont nail" brand have heads that look OK, but they are so hard you can't turn them. If you have ever got a surplus the local restoration guys love them. Hey you can't be all bad! born in August, I was born on the 17th, bee keeper, my family have won Royal Society medals for their bees, and a cigar lover too, now if you guys could just learn to drive on the correct side of the road, and loose the silly accent. I'm English. Don't be too hard on me!

  3. Hey paul. Who do you use for a sharpening service, I live in Virginia, but I'm only10 mins from Southern MD, on 301, I have used a guy in Ashland VA, for years. Great service and reasonable price, but, it never hurts to know another "source" for anything. Larry (my guy) has the press and jigs to recut handsaws, and can sharpen up to 24" planer blades. Paul Hook.

  4. Another "Taffy"? where are you? Paul. It's not over... Untill we Win!!!
