For “Jazz” –

I know it was two years since you posted your desire find a crosscut/bucking saw and where. I’ve found several on eBay – though the ones I’ve found are in the USA. Getting one would just require you work with the seller to ship to the UK. What you’d save on the tool you’d spend on shipping, but it may end up to be a bargain in the end.

Hi,

A bit late but maybe still useful for readers. You can get a feather file for silky saws from the uk dealer: http://www.silkyfox.co.uk/
They don’t advertise on the website but i know someone who bought one a while back.

i’m trying to find a suitable sharpener for Silky saws. I have two of the big toothed variety and they’re great but they’re getting blunter owing to heavy use

any ideas?

many thanks

Nick

Why ask all these questions and then use chainsaws to do the work anyway. All just for show!

BTCV also do a day course on working with small tools – and safety. I plan to attend this course next year, as I think it will be very helpful!

And Angus – you forgot to mention a first aid kit and a whistle! A very important part of a tools kit!
We have put one together, cost about £25, and will last for years.

We also have a tool belt each which holds billhooks and lifting tongs – very useful as it reduces the time spend bending to pick up tools and searching for them!

Just stumbled across my name there. Thanks!

This has been the first year of my courses and until recently I was renting the woods that i use, so i couldn’t do very much in there for fear the owner would object. Now I own the woods I can start doing a few more things

Next year the courses are going to be a mixture of Experimental Archaeology (my background), woodland management and ‘bushcrafty’ things. I don’t advertise it as bushcraft becuase I try to only teach things that are based i British archaeology. So the woodland things will be more ancient skills including hedgelaying, greenwood work, coppicing, wattle and daub, cob building, etc. If people ask me for somethig then I can always try and organise it
