With five you're either picking up or beating, or perhaps both? I've just hung up the whistle and stick after 35 years of gun dog work, and I'm down to the last Lab, who like me is old and knackered. I was picking up big time until a couple of years ago, plus working dogs for my own gun.

Hi Eugene

Quite right, both!, my wife is the picker up I am the beater and we both shoot when the opportunity presents itself. I used to do a bit of picking up with her but lost my dog about 6 months ago. We got onto a new shoot last year and it worked really well with her picking up and me beating. Only one car needed !  We have 3 Labs and two Welsh Springers. We spend all the season working on various shoots and the rest of the year doing working tests and Game Fairs, I fit in work where I can :coffee:

Bicycle Repair Man:
Evening all

I shall try posting some pics. First one is a collection of sticks I have made, second one (if this works) is a collection of knives I have made and the third is my Myford Super 7

Bicycle Repair Man:
Now then,

Having established the principle  here are some pics of a project completed last year. Belt grinders are expensive bits of kit so I did what most of you do, made one. I have always believed that inside every rusty piece of steel there is a shiny piece trying to get out so I started of with what is in pics 1 and 2. Chopped it into various bits with the power hacksaw,welded the bits together, skimmed the ends off square, welded some more bits on. Stopped and had a coffee, then started marking out the quadrant plate for the rollers, then drilled and reamed the centre hole to mount it on rotary table to mill the curved slot.
Next installment tomorrow as its getting past my bedtime !!!

( mods, if you want to move this to a more suitable place, feel free)

Cheers for now
