What does the gentleman of vigour, brio and historical intellect do when he finds a hazel tree in his garden? He attempts to make an early British spear, of course! And an arrow. Sadly, I couldn't find a cheap bronze spearhead, so I bought this steel one for the first attempt. I've already cut and stripped the shaft, and started to fire-straighten it.
Images of items I have purchased.

Business first with United.
Loads of space, seat went to a full bed position. Food was excellent and most importantly the drinks kept flowing

Leather doesn't bother me. Tax savings as you'll well know make the 1.6 better one to go for.
Its simply used for getting to and from work with a 600km round trip bi monthly.
2.5k euro made it worthwhilee.

You should do a build log showing how you made it from start to finish!
new kickstarter pen:
Titanium body with neodymium magnet cap for the Uni-Ball Signo 207 refill. Lovely solid body but the real winner is the solid clunk of the cap attaching the to body.
Nice, I have just got the improved model of this... much much lighter, cheaper, made of plastic and sold by BIC
Oh matron! One of your books saved me from insanity on a flight recently. I am greatly in your debt!

Leather? don't you mean pleather in that??
Haha don't be elitist
.Its not the fanciest of cars but its completely immaculate comes with a great service history with one owner. Saves over 1000 EUR a year by going for this model and hopefully will return 30-35mpg. What's not to like?
All for well less than a month wages. Shame my insurance is so high!
In a years time I will get something I really want (eg a v8 m3
)I was stumbling around Dartmoor the other week marveling at the Bronze Age cairns, cysts, hut circles and settlements etc and popped in here - http://www.dartmoor-npa.gov.uk/visiting/vi-planningyourvisit/vi-infocentres/vi-postbridgeinfocentre
There are some fantastic examples of prehistoric weapons and tools in there, if you've never been and get the chance I can thoroughly recommend it
That would definitely be my cup of tea.
I feel it's actually too simple for a build log - in future, if I make the spearhead myself I'd make a log, though.
Very kind, thank you - glad to be of service.
Picked up the new car on saturday morning, got to say for the price I can't fault it
Dacia Sandero Stepway 1.5 DCi onboard computer showing around 68mpg after doing 100miles of urban and motorway miles
A massive plus is the babies pram fits in the boot no fuss, a massive improvement on the 59plate Yaris we part-exd with
