We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Good morning guys.

I obtained some deer antlers which I'm going to use to make handles for a couple hunting knife projects that I have laying about.
Problem is that there is still some (semi-dried) skin attached to the antlers.
What is the easiest, cleanest, quickest way to get this off ?
THX in advance.

Best regards,
A

I have used brass wire wheels for projects like this - mostly because I usually have them on hand. Chuck one up in a hand drill & use a low speed setting. SW

Mmmmh, I was afraid it would come down to boiling ...
Thx for the input, it's been all very helpful.
I'll post pictures in the project section of the board as the work advances.
Brgds, A
