anyone heard back about pitches at tewkes?
I have heard nothing and have tried emailing but no reply to that either

MERRY XMAS OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CELEBRATE

Ron has contacted me to say he will be doing a run of castings pretty soon.
The prices are the same as his last set, I can send the word doc to anyone interested.

Griff

I would be interested in this too please

size and material?
brass, copper, bronze, ali, steel
smallest I have is about 1mm diameter and largest about 25mm

bellows are easier to make than a hand crank blower ( I know where there are blower plans if you want )
if using charcoal one of my forges will be ok with bellows

anyone had confirmation of pitches yet?

I am here and will be at torm
irondwarf3 at gmail.com will also get to me

I normally plan what events im doing about 12 months ahead, sorted for next summer but keep us informed in case of a free weekend.

just found mine in the spam folder, sorted it now

Ferrous sulphate ( Copperas ) is also used in refining gold but it only works if fresh, when oxidized it is no good, and there is no copper in it.

copper is also used, both are used to get metals dissolved in acid out of the solution as a precipitate

have gone metric now Dave, ( actually I have always sold it by the meter rather than foot )
dark green fuse about 2mm dia £4 per m
will be at tewkes, midfest and maybe other events

Hector cole would be a good person to talk to I think, he has made a copy of the tool, do a search and im sure you will find him Cheers, Yes, I did find him - contacted him by email but at £196 for a copy of it the price was a little steep for my pocket! was not thinking of you buying it but more g...

have some of the following types of metal in stock

EN8 ( 1040 ) in 25 and 30 mm round ( 1" and 1 3/16" )

EN24 ( 4340 ) in 35 mm round ( 1 3/8" )

could cut to length for hammer head blanks or or other things.

would people be interested do you think?

I might also make a few early block anvils

a piece of metal can be hammered to get it red hot, softer steel or wi works best and from that you can light your forge

have lots of odd rivets in several metals inc brass, 3/8 diameter I think is too big, 3/16 is probably more like it.
I have some round head and lots of small flat head.

3/8 rivets would have a head diameter of just under 3/4"

the ball was sold through one of the online auction sites so it is a good job im talking to the recipient, I have advised them to check the signature online, none of the people at the address signed for it and this will be brought up with trading standards.

Alan, the recipient is also in south wales, near martin I think

at noon alan the website shown it delivered and signature avaliable to view, spoke to the recipient at about 2pm no parcel, spoke again at 3.30 parcel had arrived at about 3, it was not 'DAMAGED' as the recipient had been told but had been neatly cut open. took 12 days lots of messages and calls, go...

my hermes seem to think that giving contradictory replies to those involved or just plain lying, 12 days to deliver a 2 to 3 day parcel, a dishonest driver signing to say the parcel was delivered over three and a half hours before they deliver it, 4 days including time off work for the recipient, th...

parcel was finally delivered saturday afternoon at about 3pm BUT IT WAS SIGNED FOR BY THE RECIPIENT AT 11.28AM!!!! WHICH MEANS THAT TRACKING AND SIGNATURES ARE WORTHLESS AND PROVE NOTHING IF DONE BY A DISHONEST DRIVER if it was not delivered after it was signed for there would be no compensation as ...

now showing not delivered, no movement since thursday 19th

both me and the recipient were promised delivery today then I have been told tomorrow, tracking shows it as now delivered at 12.14 today but it has not been they dont work weekends as I was told last sunday as the reason it was not delivered on thursday, friday or satuday so I doubt it will arrive t...

anyone else had problems? OK i know its christmas, but! dropped of a parcel on 16th by 00.36 on the 19th it was at the recipients local depot, since then it has not got any further and I was told last weekend that it was because they dont work weekends so now they are counting thursday and friday as...

as I said I dont know about the use of space but your earlier rant an facebook was about not giving you a refund. as far as I know there is nothing about the use of the space in the T and C but slagging them off and telling people not to go and you will never go to another of their shows over the re...

I would think it unlikely, mostly I think that 30 days notice would be reasonably unless it stated something different in the T and C, cant you claim on your insurance for loss of earnings due to the accidents? dont know how it affects things if someone else was using your space there or the fact t...

martin, why dont you write your own terms and conditions for booking events if you dont agree with organizers terms. I have actually done this in the past for sci fi and fantasy cons because what I was taking to the event was a bit different, I set out what I could provide and what I needed clearly ...

7. i. Traders who say 'its right for any period' are usually wrong. So treat the object in question and all their other wares with some suspicion. a lot of my stuff is not right, but it is often the compromise to keep to the venues rules, EG fires off the ground. I try to make a point of not saying...

talk to other traders, was the event lacking last year in staff, toilets, signage, or anything else then dont book a pitch there , organisers who can only get rubbish traders and few mops would soon go out of business. ( this is not to say that I have anything against events I have not done in the l...
